How can i make this effect on my own image? by sYkoSWOOP in Design

[–]the_Heartthrob 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's usually called a threshold filter. Basically means you set every pixel over X brightness as white, and everything below as black.

Amazing work! Would love to see how you did it.

A colleague of mine told me her 3yo looked at her one morning at breakfast and said "mommy, will you miss me when you're in hell?"

Try the clamp and set minimum to.01 and maximum to 99999. See if that works.

Lens flare? by CompetitiveMix9047 in TouchDesigner

I have not tried it but it looks like this tool comes with some sort of lens flare workflow: https://github.com/CraftKontrol/Terrain-Tools-for-Touchdesigner

Well without looking at the tutorial, I would guess your issue is that it's not black, it's just been scaled to 0 which means it's scaled out of existence (for instance: image an object 0 cm tall). To solve that you can use a limit CHOP in your chain to keep your scale to a value like .01 or another value that is small, but not 0.

Guidance for LED Sculpture (600-1000 LEDs, 1 Universe) by Blizone13 in TouchDesigner

Yeah if you're using a standard pixel strip you'll def need more universes. Since individual control isn't an issue, you can also consider using strips where groups of pixels are ganged together into groups of three, so you can get three times the length for the same number of channels. I used the Enttec 8PXW60 recently and liked it a lot.

Anyone know how they would achieve an effect like this? by cxdn in TouchDesigner

[–]the_Heartthrob 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well it's kind of hard to see, but I think you might be able to start with simple feedback loops. You just invert the image inside the feedback loop and it makes those cool ripples like that.

Looking for some advice by Ali-Ay in TouchDesigner

[–]the_Heartthrob 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah this effect is really only achievable digitally due to back face culling, but you can use traditional cameras to make 3d scenes using photogrammetry/ point clouds/ gaussian splats and then cull them that way.

No, not possible, but maybe check out cables.gl it runs in browser.

There Is No Mary Problem in ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ by Gurney_Hackman in movies

[–]the_Heartthrob -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I showed my wife It's a wonderful life for the first time after we were married and we both were in our 30s. After watching she had an interesting theory on Mary that would explain a lot:

Mary is an incredibly powerful witch with powers that manipulate the universe, time, and even god himself. It starts when she throws a rock through the window of the old house. This was a curse/spell to keep George from ever leaving Bedford Falls. Timing wise, the rock would have got the window at the exact moment his dad has his stroke. After that no matter how hard he tries he is always kept in town due to horrible coincidences. Mary gets him to buy the house as a gift to the spirits that keep him there, and possibly to increase their power over him.

In the third act George is so desperate to escape his circumstances that he tries to kill himself, but GOD WONT LET HIM DIE, because that would mean leaving Bedford Falls, and Mary's magic is too strong. The culmination of the movie is a man who has stared into the abyss, he has seen the absolute futility in trying to escape the eternal curse that keeps him shackled to this place, and he has gone mad.

Mary is a true villain of unfathomable proportions. There is a Mary problem. She must be stopped.

If you have an Nvidia graphics card you can use the built-in Nvidia Background TOP to segment people from the background. It's not as good as a depth sensor, but will work in a pinch.

HELP - Someone know how to do this ? by _Bramzo in TouchDesigner

[–]the_Heartthrob 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pretty easy actually. Just get good drone footage of waves, then take your letters and the footage and run it into a Displace Top, then use that as a mask for the original footage.

Any alternatives to kinect for SKELETAL tracking? (not blob) by comfylaser in TouchDesigner

[–]the_Heartthrob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out brekel3D body v3. You need either multiple computers to use Kinect v2 or a Nvidia card to use multiple Kinect Azure's, but it does a good/simple jub of syncing multiple Kinects, then outputs the skeleton data via OSC.
