In my introduction to PD project, I rotated several objects, that could also be combined together. This time I applyed an image to an object which might not look very impressive at first, but I can see how this might prove useful to showing a video on a moving object instead of showing the movie on a screen. I can see how the object could possibly morph from a cube to a sphere to whatever else. This is a picture of a teapot with one of my conceptual art pictures put onto the surface of a teapot. The object itself is rotating as well.

Patch: 3d-objects-test

04.moveImages is the original.

06.particle is the original.

This is the source I modified.

This is the result.

This is the image I used.

This new object is a result of removing the Red Sphere from the original file, moveImages, and combining some of the fields from the particle file. In the moveImages file under  Blue Sphere field, I have modified the rotate section, color, and translateXYZ. Then, I connect the output of particle to the hot input of moveImage.

For PureData B, I decided to work on my previous assignment and develop what I had made earlier. In puredata A, the patch I created brought a picture in and out of focus (display) over a set period of time. The following images are the of the puredata A patch and the original image:

For PureData B, I added the pix_scanline feature that I thought was really cool. I found this in the help browser and I liked how it distorted the image into either lines or pixels (they looked like blurred pixels to me).

I also decided to play around with some audio and added an oscillator with a ‘volume control’. I wanted to create a different tone in the patch, and I will mess with that this week at the lab.

Further more, I organized all these into three subpatches so that it would not be messy. Again I made use of the line object (which is my favorite) and I also added loads of loadbangs in my patch, so the entire process is pretty much automated as before, in which the user only has to select an image file of his/her choice. The images below show the patch and the snapshots of the GEM window in the order they appear.

As I kept working on this, I got a better idea of what my final project would look like. In my mind, the final patch would load a sequence of old (b/w) images [maybe some WW images] and every time, it will load the new picture with the same distorted effect. I will also add some audio effects such as the sound that is heard when a tube-tv is turned on, or maybe an audio file of some old recordings or news broadcast.

However, I still need to dig deeper into pix_buffer (as John suggested) or pix_multiimage to load multiple images automatically, and I also need to mess around with more audio functions.

I started with the help patch: references -> Gem -> pix_video-help.pd

I am continuing to build on my hpdA project, RGB Animation, to create an interactive morph movie making patch.

I added pix_rtx to create the morph effects and I added pix_gain to have even more fun changing the colors, oooh pretty! Of course, I kept my RGB metronomes and lastly added pix_record and got it working really well.

This is a fun patch because there is alot to play with and you can even have your very own movie at the end.

Pd patch: pix_video_modified

Image that is displayed when the gem window is created.

The previous image will be resized when you toggle with the size message.

This will be displayed when you click on the line message and when you toggle with the x-axis.

As you click on the various messages, you will see the images blending, moving around axes etc.

This was a modified combined edit of previous patches posted. This patch was done kinda last minute coz my video mixing patch didn’t work. I don’t mind posting that one if it does happen to work later.

i am thinking about designing a gravitaional blackhole for my pd mini project. It basically takes objects from around the screen and swallows them when someone drags and drops them in the blackhole.

the pd file is here:hellopuredatab

Although not completed like I want it, I have added some features to the gem..advanced/stereo patch.  I have added some number boxes to allow the metronome I added to automatically rotate any typ of image chosen in 3 dimensions.  The metronome is also connected to a dac to play a certain frequency with the movement of the image.  I ultimately want to be able to loop several other factors of the 3-d image with actual movement.  The frequency from the dac would also follow.  Below are my screen shots.

An idea I had for the final project is the manipulation of images (whether moving or still) through physical movements using sensors. I picked some of my favorite effects and combined them together in this patch. Try mixing them together in moderation. I came up with some really neat effects. Using motion sensors with magnification or distortion could be really disorienting… and fun!

This is the Ferrari Enzo picture I used in the example.

I thought i would make a pd patch to honor our new President of the United States, Barack Obama.  I have used several different commands in this pd patch which beings with Pix_add where I loaded two different pictures. The first is the american flag where I tied it to Pix_gain to control the gain of the picture and left it at a controlled state of 0.094.  I tied the right inlet of Pix_add to Pix_multiimage, which contained 3 different pictures of our President.  I also tied that to a vslider, which only changed the picture the gain from 0 to 2.  I then tied that Pix_gain of our president to a metronome which replays it every 3 sec.

I used the same Model that I used last week, I added two applications, so besides the slider that changes the size and the brightness of the picture, I added an application called draw, and an application gray, so I managed to get a picture in black and white, and at the center I had a rectangular smaller picture of the same picture.

here is what I got:
