Bleek II Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 (edited) The plugin distorts an image based on the light values of the mask. This is useful for mapping images to other surfaces.

david.atwell Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 This is BRILLIANT. Photoshop's displacement tool isn't even half this easy.

barkbark00 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Great job! GUI needs some work. Reset buttons would be awesome. Also, I'm a fan of pixel based distortion as opposed to the current % based distortion. Otherwise, nice job. As far as function goes, this is my new favorite plugin.

Bleek II Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 GUI needs some work. Reset buttons would be awesome. Also, I'm a fan of pixel based distortion as opposed to the current % based distortion. Good points. This was the first time I used the windows form builder in VS 2008. I'm use to text based c++ programing. About the % based distortion, it really works best that way. I'll explain. The plugin reads each of the map's pixel luminosity values ranging from 0 to 255. The closer that value is to 0 the more it moves it in one direction and closer to 255 it is the more it moves it to the other direction, 127 is neutral. At 100% it moves each pixel the range value that's on the map but that's a bit of over kill in most cases so % works well to tune the process. However, in most cases I agree, I like to know how many pixels things are moving by. You can think of it as a range in this case 100% = -128 to 128, 50% = 64 to 64, and so on... The source code is there if you would like a better UI, I am lazy. I will post any updates to the plugin that others make and add you to the credits.

Bleek II Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 Nice, thank you!This should take up much less screen. If that's a complied plugin, please post! However I believe that's an image edit, right? The reason those bar are so large is because I didn't want to spend the time figuring out how to get those nice input boxes next to the bars in windows form builder. So to give the user more control... I made them huge!... yeah I'm lazy, also I have my laptop screen here set at 1600x1050 so it's not to bad for me.

Ash Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 You are correct Image editing is more my thing.

Bleek II Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 Okay, I've uploaded a fixed Dll. I missed four little lines. It was dumb of me not to test the Dll on an image before release. But I'd like to see Microsoft have a 10min response time, haha I think not (*feels a little bit better about looking stupid*) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiguelPereira Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 you could add an anti-aliasing check box or so, very simple so that some jagged edges were corrected on the rendering Quote [The stock on my sig is a photo I took not a render from Splatter] [My deviantART][My Gallery][My Space] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. Sorry. I know i should not but what i meant (sarcasms aside) is that we don't need another feather plugin, just something to soften the edges. and btw BoltBait when are you releasing an update to feather to correct that problem with the line that remained after running the plugin?
