DaVinciCode_(WIP)

A new algorithm that I am currently working on and which is inspired by the an-isotropic diffusion effect in photoshop:

HighQuality, LowCost Paint Shader


The high quality is especially noticeable with lower effect strength when comparing to other algorithms (including photoshop) which usually produce artifacts. This and its high performance makes it a very useful (and playable) effect and further allows it to be used as a sort of anti aliasing effect.

With a little help of wordpress I created a simple developer blog which I will use as "further reading" material to the updates I post here. It will basically provide you with in depth explanations on how certain ideas work and how they can be or are approached by me, you or anyone else.

Novel Lens Flare Algorithm_(Conceptual)

As a foundation for future implementations I came up with a new algorithm for a very smart/dynamic and performant lens flare format. It involved quiet a bit of math though

Yet Another Novel Lens Flare Algorithm_{(Also Conceptual )}

With this algorithm, I am trying to increase the responsiveness of generic lens effects.

DeNoise/DeBand Filter Algorithm

I know there are already a few of these but I wanted to try and started to write one on my own

Creating LUTs from Images_(Conceptual)

Quiet a while ago I though about implementing such a shader (due to some discussion here in the forums). Now I had finally time to give it a first try.
In the following you can see the result of reading a LUT profile from a movie poster (shutter island) and applying it to far cry primal.
Please note that this is highly conceptual!


This should ultimately allow you to create LUT profiles from other images.

Histogram Shader

Following up a request, I implemented a histogram shader which you can use to perfection your presets and later to implement a few more advanced effects which needs such information.
