After my previous post, Jitter Kaleidoscope and other Cool Effects, I decided to spend some more time with the Peter Elsea Tutorials and see how else I could mashup my photos. His tutorials on the [jit.repos] object gave me a lot to work with, and for those who are more mathematically inclined, I’m sure these simple examples could be taken much further.
For this set of photos, I incorporated the [jit.qt.effect] into my patch. This object allows you to access real-time quicktime effects. In this case, I used two [jit.repos] objects, each preforming some kind of processing on separate photos that then get fed into the two [jit.qt.effect] inputs.
I think it is important to remember that there are many different effects and parameters within the [jit.qt.effect] object. These pictures are only a small example of a few. Although, I am using photos, any of these effects could be used on a video signal as well, which I would love experiment with as soon as I can get my hands on a video camera.
On the other hand, performing various layers of effects on large picture sizes (1440 x 900 on my 15″ macbook pro) used up quite a bit of processing power. I had frequent crashes. I’m sure there could be ways to better optimize my patch, but for now this is what I have to show for myself.
