Craziness strikes: DotCrawl()

[mf]

Here it is, directly from my insanity laboratory: DotCrawl() :D.

Another comb filter? Wrong! I couldn't make a comb filter even if I wanted to! I can, however, make something that creates dot crawl. Just for laughs.

Don't expect the output of this filter to be completely conforming to the scientific model of dot crawl (where and how it's supposed to "happen"), but I can tell you that "DotCrawl Comb Filter" by Scott Elliott filters it out as if it were real dot crawl.

The only argument it takes is strength, which is 230 by default, but can be set to be 0-255. Example:
DotCrawl(255)
for full strength.

I've called the avs file "Composite", because one day I might add Rainbows() :devil:.

Oh and btw, you need Masktools 142 or higher.

Nice :p
Chroma bleeding would be a valuable addition as well :)

UVTimingH(2, -2, true) will do for the time being :D.

:eek: That's just too funny! :D

Rainbows() would be great! Then every source can be just as painful to work with as Trigun! :p

very very very interesting, thanks mf!

ehm..... which filter do you suggest as antidote to your DotCrawl filter?
(i mean: do you know any good filter able to remove dot crawls from my anime?)

Only ones I know are the Comb Filter mentioned above and GuavaComb.

How about adding tape head noise at the bottom and a little random vertical jiggle as well. Oh, and those white horizontal commet-like dropouts would be very helpful...

Ph333r! Now you can add that finishing touch to the reality of your console emulator.

Above image was created using NNesterJ (a NES emu), DotCrawl, UVTimingH, AddGrain, and Blur. Looks real, don't it ? :D

Where can this "DotCrawl Comb Filter" by Scott Elliott be downloaded from? I couldn't find it using the search nor in warpenterprises's page.

I can't find the homepage anymore either. It's a vdub filter, the link *should* be around here somewhere on this forum.
