Fortunately Ive had some excellent 3D modelers helping me, and some nice assets to work with. Im quite excited about it. The patch really […]

Kaaaannneeeeeeeedddaaa !!!!!!!!!
AIIIEEEEE *BOOM*
So I’ve been meaning to try and emulate a shutter/long exposure effect in realtime that captures and holds light above a certain threshold, similar to the light trails in Akira. Long and beautiful, while the background still retains its full speed motion.
Ive managed to create a GPU effect that runs around 60FPS on […]

Most Max objects (line,bline, etc) create perfectly nice linear ramps, but they seriously look mechanical. This can be great for a particular look (Im thinking of Autechre videos here.. *sigh*), but sometimes you want a more traditional and natural look. […]

Sorry. Lolcat moment of weakness. Will not happen again. Promise.

Scanlines (create simple CRT-esque scan lines), Stripes (creates multiple colored uh… stripes, masked over the incoming video with rotation/color and mirroring), color grade (applies two two-point linear gradients to add some color variation to the texture […]
