But seriously, I want to try some animation with separated color channels, but using some other colorspace and not RGB.

If anyone else wants to join in, this is the script I wrote for processing:
Files are expected to be in png format with 3 digit numbering, stored in a folder called data.

code:

int frames = 180; //Number of frames
int count = 1;
PImage[] img = new PImage[frames];
String filename = "Seq"; //File names
int w, h;

void setup() {
  // Images must be in the "data" directory to load correctly
  img[0] = loadImage(filename + "001.png");
  w = img[0].width;
  h = img[0].height;
  size(w, frames);
}

void draw() {

  for (int y = 0; y < frames; y++) {
    img[y] = loadImage(filename + nf(y+1, 3) + ".png");
  }

  while (count < h+1) {
    for (int y=0; y<frames; y++) {
      image(img[y].get(0, count-1, w, 1), 0, y);
    }
    save("output/frame_" + nf(count, 3) + ".png");
    count++;
  }
  exit();
}

How did I not think of this?

So far I've tried motion blur, edge detection, and a few other filters, but nothing has been too interesting.

Some more scripts for people to use.

Splits frames into red, green, and blue frames.

code:

int frames = 53; //Number of frames
int count = 1;
PImage[] img = new PImage[frames];
String filename = "Seq"; //Filename
int w, h;

void setup() {
  // Images must be in the "data" directory to load correctly
  img[0] = loadImage(filename+"001.png");
  size(img[0].width, img[0].height);
}

void draw() {
  for (int y = 0; y < frames; y++) {
    img[y] = loadImage(filename + nf(y+1, 3) + ".png");
  }

  loadPixels();

  for (int c=0; c<frames; c++) {
    //Red
    for (int y = 0; y < height; y++) {
      for (int x = 0; x < width; x++) {
        int loc = x + y*width;
        float r = img[c].pixels[loc] >> 16 & 0xFF;
        pixels[loc] =  color(r, 0, 0);
      }
    }
    updatePixels();
    save("output/framer_"+nf(c+1, 3)+".png");
    //Green
    for (int y = 0; y < height; y++) {
      for (int x = 0; x < width; x++) {
        int loc = x + y*width;
        float g = img[c].pixels[loc] >> 8 & 0xFF;
        pixels[loc] =  color(0, g, 0);
      }
    }
    updatePixels();
    save("output/frameg_"+nf(c+1, 3)+".png");
    //Blue
    for (int y = 0; y < height; y++) {
      for (int x = 0; x < width; x++) {
        int loc = x + y*width;
        float b = img[c].pixels[loc] & 0xFF;
        pixels[loc] =  color(0, 0, b);
      }
    }
    updatePixels();
    save("output/frameb_"+nf(c+1, 3)+".png");
  }
  exit();
}

Combines the red, green, and blue frames back into a single frame

code:

int frames = 53;
PImage[] imgr = new PImage[frames];
PImage[] imgg = new PImage[frames];
PImage[] imgb = new PImage[frames];
String filename = "Seq";


void setup() {
  // Images must be in the "data" directory to load correctly
  imgr[0] = loadImage(filename+"r001.png");
  size(imgr[0].width, imgr[0].height);
}

void draw() {
  for (int y = 0; y < frames; y++) {
    imgr[y] = loadImage(filename + "r" + nf(y+1, 3) + ".png");
    imgg[y] = loadImage(filename + "g" + nf(y+1, 3) + ".png");
    imgb[y] = loadImage(filename + "b" + nf(y+1, 3) + ".png");
  }

  loadPixels();

  for (int c = 0; c < frames; c++) {
    for (int y = 0; y < height; y++) {
      for (int x = 0; x < width; x++) {
        int loc = x + y*width;
        float r = imgr[c].pixels[loc] >> 16 & 0xFF;
        float g = imgg[c].pixels[loc] >> 8 & 0xFF;
        float b = imgb[c].pixels[loc] & 0xFF;
        pixels[loc] =  color(r, g, b);
      }
    }
    updatePixels();
    save("output/frame_"+nf(c+1, 3)+".png");
  }
  exit();
}

Haven't used this on a slitscan image, but I will. This is with each color channel separately content-aware scaled.

Smearing: this expects a background image numbered '000' to compare against

code:

int frames = 91; //Number of frames
int count = 1;
PImage[] img = new PImage[frames];
PImage blank;
String filename = "Seq"; //File name
int w, h;
float limit = 86; //Controls pixel rejection

void setup() {
  blank = loadImage(filename+"000.png");
  size(blank.width, blank.height);
}

void draw() {
  for (int y = 0; y < frames; y++) {
    img[y] = loadImage(filename + nf(y+1, 3) + ".png");
  }
  image(img[0],0,0); //Comment out this line to check overlays
  loadPixels();

  for (int c=0; c<frames; c++) {
    for (int y = 0; y < height; y++) {
      for (int x = 0; x < width; x++) {
        int loc = x + y*width;
        float r = img[c].pixels[loc] >> 16 & 0xFF;
        float g = img[c].pixels[loc] >> 8 & 0xFF;
        float b = img[c].pixels[loc] & 0xFF;
        float rb = blank.pixels[loc] >> 16 & 0xFF;
        float gb = blank.pixels[loc] >> 8 & 0xFF;
        float bb = blank.pixels[loc] & 0xFF;
        float crgb = abs(r - rb) + abs(g - gb) + abs(b - bb); 
        if (crgb > limit) {
          pixels[loc] =  color(r, g, b);
        }
      }
    }
    updatePixels();
    save("output/framer_"+nf(c+1, 3)+".png");
  }
  exit();
}

I sort of feel I should share this with the thread: I've been working on something glitchy and kind of a tribute to this thread as well.

Although I really love glitch art, I'm much better at writing. I previewed this character's power at the end of my first book (slightly) but purposefully left the mystery on it. I'm working on my second book now with this character with a strange powerset: the power to glitch reality.

The way I'm describing it is she can randomly flip switches on reality to shift things around and generate weird (often explosive) results. Sometimes it'll warp and reality directly around the event will just fall apart in strange ways.

This is actually going to let me tear down the fourth wall (or at least press the reader up against it at times.)

Incidentally I'm still writing the novel and a few months away from editing it so if anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to hear them.

Get the reader involved. Have them cut out all of one letter on one page, that when it's laid out it spells a message in the letters on the page beneath you can read through the holes that were just cut.

Have you read "House of Leaves"? It's the closest thing I can think of to what you're looking for. When "John Dies At The End" was first put online, some parts of the story was placed as a GIF that would flip from words to a freaky image, timed so that the average reader would be somewhere in that paragraph when it happened.

I was already planning on switching the fonts... the whole glitch idea even allows me to say fun things like "Her words seemed to hang in the air, drift into old fashioned lettering before flashing hues of blue and flickering out of existence." I love these other ideas... The problem is, there's an ebook too... In print, these tricks are easy to do... I have NO idea how the publisher is going to do this stuff in the ebook.

This is going to happen now for sure. In fact, I'm going to retool part of book two just to change the way some of these powers function so I can do this more often.

Yea... I'm gonna have to find an artist because it would be nice to suddenly have the text change to a physical picture of one of the fight scenes.. That's a wicked idea.

I had always been kinda intimidated by how complex Processing seemed to be, but this thread finally got me to learn the basics and it's way more straightforward than I had imagined. Way faster than how I was doing things before, too!

Here is a GIF glitching script I rewrote from my old one. One of the effects that's done is the JPEG byte deletion trick and I figured out a way for it to not have to write anything to disk, so maybe someone will find that useful.

dragoat: Mar 21, 2012; YOU STOP THAT

Here's a few stills I have from corrupting a Zelda rom.

Corrupting roms can be particularly annoying as more often than not it'll probably just crash and you wont get anything.

However getting to walk around in some of these glitched out landscapes (none of these save for the fourth were actually taken from gameplay) can be pretty surreal.

This is from the opening when the game first starts up. The background is supposed to be what I believe is Hyrul Castle
I never really played any of the games so apologies if that's incorrect)and in the foreground, a little less corrupted is Link on a horse

Also from the opening cutscene, the wavy pattern is actually supposed to be there, pretty much everything else is far gone.

I think this is supposed to be a sun

This is the first(?) menu screen where you select a new game. Pretty sure that vaguely man-looking sprite isn't supposed to be there

This one is weird, I can't figure out where it came from. There is nothing like this in the uncorrupted opening scene or even during the first few minutes of gameplay.
The whole time this scene is playing out (the two wizard looking guys just bob up and down) there were weird guttural noises

What would normally be a close up of Link on a horse.

sorry if this post is too long/large, I can come back and edit it if it's too much

the_lion posted:

I'm using a variety of things at this point.

Mostly Processing. I still use it like I used Audacity. Alter. Save. Alter. Save. Alter. Save.
I had a month of being bored, reviewing code, and realizing that changing every single thing I wanted change in Processing is a lot less complicated than I thought. So it's Processing most of the time and PS to incorporate line relief if that's there.

Pixel sorting is fun.
That being said, as pretty as the end result a few lines down is, Processing can't create this:

That's the moment I realized I knew exactly what the gently caress I was doing in Audacity.
You can use just about every effect in Audacity. It just takes some (boredom/sobriety-boredom) to whittle down acceptable variables for most situations, test them, and code them down.
When I play with Audacity it's almost exclusively for -- well, the above.

I popped each of the below out in 2-7 minutes for a thing I do most nights for an hour.
