The image creation relies on a video feedback loop with rotation, zooming, position displacement and contrast/luminosity/saturation modifications. The input is the in-built webcam of the computer.
Lately, I modified the software to switch from CPU to GPU processing which really works faster and smoother, but I don’t get the same colors and textures…
I’ll try to find time to make another video.
How was MAX used?
The objects used in the CPU version are jit.op @op avg, jit.xfade, jit.rota, jit.brcosa, with matrix feedback.
Looks amazing – is there a patch you can share?
I prefer to share the idea more than an already made patch.
It’s very simple technically.
I don’t want to point people to one direction using feedback technique.
If you really don’t find a way to create a video feedback loop, I could share a way to do it…
Thanks for your attention and replay by the way.
very filthy
nice!
to create a feedback loop in jitter, there’s a little trick, like in msp you need [send~] and [receive~]
I just opened my CPU version and without doubt it’s way better (but way slower too)
so for the feedback loop you need [jit.xfade @in2_name x @out-name x].
the xfade message will control the feedback amount.
you connect your video input to [jit.xfade] in1 then its output to the video processing (in this situation [jit.rota @boundmode 4] and [jit.brcosa]) and the processing output back to [jit.xfade] in2.
a [jit.brcosa] on the output is useful to bring back the luminosity/contrast the feedback loop removes.
voilà.
if you don’t get it, don’t hesitate to ask questions, if you find any nice results, show us.
have fun.
I just started using Max/Jitter and this has to be the coolest thing I’ve seen so far come from it. I just hope my projects turn out to be this sweet.
