Unfortunately the results are often pretty disappointing, especially if the source has a lot of movement or is low quality.

But it beats paying 1000 bucks for Photoshop

So, getting back to this post in the old thread, I wanted to try avatarizing those gifs again, now with Animation merger (which has all kinds of crazy color quantization and dithering options).

I

ed on the timing delays on these gifs, but that should be relatively easy to fix afterwards.

This is still really hard avatarize, this is after I removed every other frame:

(I guess I could try every third frame or something)

The worst part about this is a 2 mile morning run in mild Pennsylvania makes me want to die. I can't even imagine running 16-22 miles to chase down an animal in Africa, at midday.

Well, assuming you're about 25 years old, you probably would have been doing it for at least 10 years already. Either you would already have died many years ago or it would not be that big of a deal.

If you're 35, you'd be dead of old age / disease.

Okay, what if you took this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLuSBaz98u4 (MR whole body scan), then cropped each frame into a 1 pixel high strip, starting from the top pixel, and put the one pixel thick slices underneath each other. Then did that for every pixel going down.

(this is at 25% size and every third frame)

Well, I actually thought that it probably is using millimeter scale, since the video had 1877 frames, which is probably pretty close to his height in mm.

You can see his veins in some of the frames.

I think I'll do one from the side tomorrow.

Here is the .cmd script I used (convert is from imagemagick):
the frames were 608x352 in size, that's where those numbers in the script come from.

code:

@echo off
for /L %%Y in (1,1,352) DO ( echo %%Y
convert mri*.jpg -crop 608x1+0+%%Y! -append mri-front-frame-%%Y.png )

(I prefer echoing the current Y myself to the script echoing the whole command line

)

For a while, convert used over 6 gigs of memory after loading all frames, before cropping them.

Would anyone be able to recommend a program to capture video from YouTube and the like? When I searched the forums the only suggestion I could find was a program called Orbit, which doesn't work with Chrome.

YouTube HD Suite:
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/39167

Works in Opera by saving the user javascript file in your user javascript directory, in Firefox after you install Greasemonkey, and I think also in Chrome, just by clicking on the install button.

e: This automatically adds the download links for each quality on the youtube page, so you don't need install extra programs (well, with Firefox you need the Greasemonkey extension), or visit third-party sites.

Yay, it's tomorrow. Again, this is at 25% resolution, but this time I was able to use every other frame, instead of every third.

It blows my mind that just taking the rows or columns of pixels from the frames and re-arranging the order and groups they came in can give you a scan of the body from a different angle. I can understand why it works, I just can't understand HOW it works.

Well, imagine that each pixel is a lego. And each picture is a flat surface of legos.

An animation is many pictures shown one after another.

Stack them up and you have a cube of legos. Now you can slice the cube from any direction to get a different animation.

In other words:
The visible body animation has x and y axis, right there on your computer screen. It also has a time axis, because it is animated. In this case the time axis also corresponds to the z axis directly.

Cool now turn them into voxels and model it in 3d and spin him around and stuff.

Now you see, that requires actual talent and effort.

Speaking of gifs and inexperience, one of these threads had a spree of making almost panorama-type gifs at some point, with all the layers stabilised around the background. How do you make those? Assuming someone makes sense of my terrible explanation, that is.

Sunday Punch posted:

Photoshop CS5, autoalign layers. There's probably a Gimp plugin that does the same thing.

Wow. How did you get it to optimize so well? Could it be a Gimp vs Photoshop thing? If you open the one I made you can see how badly it's optimization compares.

Make the non-changing parts of the image transparent and/or use an ordered dither.

The fewer pixels that change between frames, the better. Both of the above tricks help with that.

Do you go in and remove stuff by hand? I was just hitting "Optimize" like a scrub.

I remove stuff by hand sometimes, but extremely rarely. Usually I use Imagemagick and just tell it to optimize.

On the other hand, I use ordered dithering almost all the time.

SPACE HOMOS posted:

Besides making parts of the image static, try lowering the color count to 128 or lower (also try perceptual / selective), turning off dither, no transparency, and reduce the image size.

Also try using an ordered dither.
