Anomalous Workspace

Haha, finally a forum thread for me huh??

I will be using this thread to post my rather occasional personal projects, and perhaps some interesting findings.

hm, the image dithering doesn't work as nicely as I hoped on the thread preview but that's alriiight

I should've maybe resized it too

But anyway, let's start off with something I've been tinkering with for a bit—
I've been working on a real, physics-based light projector. No Decal foolery, this is real image casting on surfaces!

As you can see the image breaks up as soon as you leave the focal point, and also distorts due to having three light sources for the red green and blue colors

[dense owl]

Messed with Adobe Premiere to try get a somewhat good VHS effect

(not actually recorded by me lol just filler text for a test video)

don't really like that overlay, I'll try get another one sometime

[dusty plume]

it cool

can you try to make the video abit "bad quality" to fit the VHS effect

if you cant then it okay

[dense owl]

I tried to add stuff like interlacing but literally there's nothing online on how to make it, only remove it

[dense owl]

not gonna lie it does fit

[dusty plume]

yeah that what i want

very good stuff

[dense owl]

thank you

[cobalt island]

sorry for bringing this thread back from the dead, but are you going to be releasing this? It'd be amazing to use in studio. Hell, I'd even pay for this.

[snow scarab]

it's not dead wdym

[dense owl]

It will be eventually released but I want to first refine it for easier use

[past flicker]

yeah lol its weird

[sturdy wasp]

it is FUCKIN beautiful

[upbeat egret]

Reviving this a bit

So as you've seen in #🔨┃developer I've been learning a bit about making emulations of film photography

Took me quite a bit, and maybe I should do a bit more research about it to get it more right but rn I think it looks good

I actually have a camera with 16mm Kodak Gold 400 film, but I haven't yet had the chance to try it out

I had to repair it

[silver sky]

looks quite spiffy

[dense owl]

LOL lava

[silver sky]

how many layers is all of that

[dense owl]

95

[silver sky]

jesus fuck

[dense owl]

many of them with at least 3 layers of filters

In case you're wondering, yes, it lags the hell out of photoshop

[silver sky]

good

I would hope so

you ever watched the videos of the tour of the kodak factory

[dense owl]

nope

[silver sky]

its super fascinating but god its a lot

each one is an hour long

[dense owl]

I spend a lot of time researching stuff that I make lmao

I've got more photoshop works I've been doing to look as realistic as possible but can't share them yet

[sturdy wasp]

I have a proper polaroid I found at a garage sale
but fucking hell the film is expensive

[dense owl]

Heyy, so some people had asked me before whether or not i would make my yearly christmas sweaters, and I was going to, but I'm seeing I don't have enough time unfortunately

[dense owl]

you just apply it as a mask to a wear layer or something
