[sharing] Color Streaker
Mar 05 2015 | 9:19 pm
Today a friend asked me about creating a sort of streaky feedback effect that resembled pixels melting. I immediately pulled out my trusty jit.gl.pix and whipped together this patch:
OK, so it wasn't quite "immediately", but it didn't take me that long. A lot of this is pretty standard Gen stuff, but the tricky thing here is that I'm storing the alpha channel used in the feedback and combining that with a mask to get an effect like pixels falling, taking their mask with them. Hopefully the patch kind of speaks for itself, as there's a lot more commentary on this than the one I posted here:

OK, hope you enjoy and post your tweaks and questions.
- Mar 05 2015 | 11:19 pmHi Andrew thanks for sharing - is this a Max7 patch? I get "no such object" for jit.world.Brendan
- Mar 06 2015 | 7:34 amjit.world is max7 only yeah.
- Mar 06 2015 | 7:50 amSorry for not specifying, but yes this is a Max 7 only patch, since it relies on multiple outlets for jit.gl.pix.

- Mar 09 2015 | 6:06 amThank you Andrew, That's a wonderful patch!giorgio
- Apr 08 2015 | 3:10 pmThat is a great patch. I'm not to well versed in gen yet ... how would use the horizontal coordinates to create a stream going from left to right instead of up and down ?
- Apr 22 2015 | 8:40 pmNear the top of the gen patch there's a [gen] (which is how you do subpatches in gen). Inside of that you could just swap the inputs of the [vec 0 0] so that the calculation goes into the x coordinates instead of y.

- May 03 2015 | 9:08 pmI love this patch.
- May 04 2015 | 9:46 amThanks Andrew, this is a fantastic patch. I look like the Incredible Melting Man!
- Dec 16 2015 | 7:01 pmjust saw this... finally... so awesome!!!!
- Apr 20 2019 | 4:41 pmThank you! this is beautiful!
- Apr 20 2019 | 6:06 pmI tried this patch out is reminds me of P3 processing patch there is a very similar one in p3 that does a blurring effect on movement. It would be cool if the speed of the melting pixels was gathered from movement and was applied to those moving objects in the camera view. Fun patch thank you I can't help but make a I am melting face.
