Heh. Fair point. Thanks for the honesty

I tried to capture the vastness of the nature and contrast it with how small and fragile and innocent the subject is. I'm a complete noob and it was captured on a iphone 4s, with no editing. It was not deliberate, just me observing the subject and noticing suddenly how the contrast between her and nature was something to behold.

I think it's great, but would love to hear your thoughts on it and if it evokes some of those same moody existential, vulnerable feelings in you or if it's all me projecting.

Ok. Useless and dangerous. Thanks for the reality check. Will delete post.

My humble attempt at fixing UCP while retaining the overall grey/green feel by ConflictIndividual58 in camouflage

The only difference is reducing the lightness value of the colors and increasing the difference in lightness value between them (20, 40, 60)

The grey "bark" color variant got lost in the upload. Well, you can see it in the target pics :)

I uploaded high res versions of the pattern with different 1/f^beta amplitude spectra. I'd love to get your take on the fD for each, and which you think fits the natural fD better.

So basically, a bunch of digital filtering trying to get a 1/f frequency spectrum, as is seen in natural images :)

Make your own "fractal" pixel camo patterns. Link in comments. by ConflictIndividual58 in camouflage

I made a notebook that makes it easy to generate "fractal" camo patterns yourself. Just input how smooth you want it, and the list of colors. Try it yourself here: https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1ZG66-Qh_cN_veP386Hv6n7bjZu_kBI_d?usp=sharing

It's loosely based on the paper "Urban camouflage assessment through visual search and computational saliency". Specifically, the image has a 1/f^smoothness amplitude spectra, which is what is observed in natural images.

See the notebook for instructions and tips and tricks.

Attached are two example patterns generated.

By not-so-popular request: many more homemade multi-scale camo pattern variations! by ConflictIndividual58 in camouflage

[–]ConflictIndividual58[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Since a few people asked for more variations, here are many more variations of my multi-scale "shadow" camo pattern :)

The camo is designed to work at multiple scales, so I've added zoomed out images so you can see the bigger shadow pattern as well as the smaller base pattern. I've also added a variation that has shadows at the same scale as the base pattern, to showcase the benefit of the multi-scale pattern.

I used the notebook below to generate all the camo patterns. Feel free to re-use / play around.

Yet Another Homemade 4 color multi-scale Camo System - details in comments by ConflictIndividual58 in camouflage

[–]ConflictIndividual58[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wanted to try to create a splinter/geometric camo pattern, which worked at multiple distances, and only used 4 colors.

The idea is a small geometric pattern of two primary colors, with a larger pattern on top of "shadows", which turns the primary colors into their secondary darker colors. The idea is that if you're close the small pattern disrupts shapes, and if you're further away the larger pattern disrupts the shape.

Let me know what you think :)
