Short:Great CARDWARE image deformer (MUI) 0.84
Author:Maxime Gamboni (maxime@intelcom.ch)
Uploader:Maxime Gamboni (maxime@intelcom.ch)
Type:gfx/edit
Requires:15Bit or better display output on Cgx/p96; OS 3.0; MUI 3.x
Requires:Lamp.mcc and SettingsWindow.mcc; look in dev/mui
Version:0.84 Alpha
Note: If you would like to have AGA support, write to me.
Sorry, no picture saving yet. I will try to make it available as soon
as possible (use a screen grabber)
Read guide before using! (At least requirements and introduction!)
[New since 0.83 alpha:
* You can now set precision for each function (r,g,b) separately.
* You can read the old component of a function without recalculating it.
* And you can copy a component to another (useful for e.g. b/w pictures),
without recalculating it
* Some bugs removed]
This program lets you mix, deform or create picutes using functions.
You can open as many windows as you want, each one can be either an
image or a function.
The program calculates your r(x,y) g(x,y) and b(x,y) functions and
writes a pixel of these red/green/blue components. You can refer to
other projects in a formula:
r(2,x,y) = 255-r(1,x,y)
g(2,x,y) = 255-g(1,x,y)
b(2,x,y) = 255-b(1,x,y)
would output a negative version of project number one.
r(3,x,y) = (r(1,x,y)+r(2,x,y))/2
g(3,x,y) = (g(1,x,y)+g(2,x,y))/2
b(3,x,y) = (b(1,x,y)+b(2,x,y))/2
would mix projects one and two into project three.
r(1,x,y) = x
g(1,x,y) = y
b(1,x,y) = 255-(x+y)/2
would produce a nice spread..
This program is completely multi-tasking! Every time a rendering is
started, a new task is created and its priority is a little lower
than the main task, so the main program isn't slowed down when
projects are rendering!
There is a friendly and intuitive user interface using MUI.
You have wide control over running projects: you can pause or change
the sub-task priority while it is running directely from the
user-interface. You can also hide windows to avoid cluttering the
screen. Then you won't even remark that the computer is hard working
on those projects :-)
Locale support; available languages (the guide is English-only):
- English
- French
[Any translator is welcome!]
Although this program is postcardware, it has no restriction. You can
unpack and use it without limitation now!
Written in AmigaE, full source-code is included (MUI custom classes
with custom methods and attributes, Exec lists, tasks and ports ...
are used).
