Title: ifs morphs Post by: lycium on November 30, 2006, 08:23:06 AM i thought i'd enter some of my early parameter-space morphing animations; they're made with my 2d ifs app (ham and mustard, current release available here: http://www.fractographer.com/binaries) using interpolated keyframes selected from batch renders of random points in the high ifs dimensional parameter space.
between contract work, getting 4 wisdom teeth removed and neverwinter nights 2 i haven't had much time to work on it, but the early results are still nice to watch i think. there are a few more animations in the wip/ folder too. edit: replaced entry 1 with some earlier ifs experiments: entry 1: http://www.mysticgd.com/thomas/slinkyspace/lexi%20(abstract%20fractal%20art).wmv9.avi entry 2: http://www.fractographer.com/wip/test6.avi entry 3: http://www.fractographer.com/wip/test7.avi that's kinda in reverse order of coolness i think ;) Title: Re: ifs morphs Post by: David Makin on November 30, 2006, 02:46:08 PM Hi - I have a fully up-to-date MediaPlayer 9 but do not have the codec for these !
Title: Re: ifs morphs Post by: lycium on December 01, 2006, 02:50:02 AM rather use medial player classic, btw :)
the videos are encoded using xvid, and probably a relatively recent version (for 64 bit support), some links: mpc: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=82303&package_id=84358 xvid: http://www.koepi.org/XviD-1.1.2-01112006.exe you don't need mpc but it's strongly recommended, and i really hope that xvid works - let me know pls :) Title: Re: ifs morphs Post by: alan2here on December 04, 2006, 04:52:31 PM I think they are probbebly divx video's
Title: Re: ifs morphs Post by: lycium on December 04, 2006, 04:59:58 PM I think they are probably divx videos. while divx may be capable of playing 2/3 files (entries 2 and 3), those were encoded with xvid. the 1st entry is encoded with the wmv9 codec, and should be playable in any recent windows media player. Title: Re: ifs morphs Post by: bradorpoints on December 12, 2006, 05:54:44 AM I'm confused why the only posts were regarding the file format.. The animations are incredible - by far the most unique I've seen a long time. The motion blur is fantastic. This is a look Ultra Fractal could really use - it can blur "camera motion" (zooming and panning) but not parameter morphing. Keep them coming.
Title: Re: ifs morphs Post by: lycium on December 12, 2006, 02:30:51 PM well i'm glad someone likes them! :P cheers mate, and the next bunch of animations should be much better btw ;) and you're quite right, there's a wonderful nonlinear relationship between interpolated parameters and the images they produce. |
