New Painterly Video Out, Code on The Way!
Added 2025-03-02 04:15:22 +0000 UTCHey everyone,
Thank-you to all members for sticking with me this month as I work on the second iteration/version of the painterly shader. A video on it is now available on youtube: https://youtu.be/_VEUioLmyPI
The source code is on the way and should be out by the end of the week. The only issue currently is that the shader requires a bit of manual work. You have to decide on how to segment an image and that will require a UI which currently my UI can only get the threshold values for one segment at a time. This will make more sense after watching the video.
So what I'm planning to do is share the code for one version of the shader (the house scene) so you can run that shader with the house scene image. You can definitely try those settings for similar images but results will be hit or miss. So I'll also send code for the UI and a small tutorial on how to segment an image the way I did it for the video.
After I get all that out I'll have two other projects that will make things easier:
1. Implementing K-means or another clustering algorithm that will hopefully allow us to automatically segment an image/video into user defined colors.
2. The reshade which will provide a much more robust UI out of the box.
I'll keep you all updated but I want to try and get all this within the month at worst.
