See other pictures in filter gallery!
http://www.compression.ru/video/cartoonizer/gallery_en.html

Sometimes it's necessary to cut edges or select parameters, but it's
possible to create good pictures. If you will create nice examples and will
be ready to show it to other guys - please let us know (we will add links in
gallery or will make something like "Users gallery")!

And I forgot to add: no logo added to video. (As usual for our filters).

a big big :thanks: !!!


i love this filter !

drawing mode = ace :). Is there any chance that this will eventually include a mode that will make a picture look like a flash animation, like this:

http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/8876/cartcomp8dl.png (http://imageshack.us)

? I did this rapidly in Paint and therefore didn't put nuances like the different tones in the house, the clown's clothes, the street, etc.

[thoralf]

hi guys,

this is a great toy! thank you very much ...

with kind regards,
thoralf.

[Zarxrax]

Wow, nice!

[Chainmax]

¿Have you ever done a palette reduction? Results don't look anything like my example, they look like a pixel soup. This is about replacing entire areas with a basic color that ressembles the most what's inside of them and is most certainly not as simple as you think.

[rfmmars]

As we alll know you have wonderfull filters but the use is limited by not having the correct VCF code saved in settings in most of them. This means they can't be used in load setting and most important, they can't be used in "Jobs". Please update them.

Chainmax: Celforeground! Particularly "source.ColourGraphByAverage(simplegraph, source)", with an absorbed graph. Note that I haven't tried this on real-life footage, but it's the basic idea, converting toned images into cel-shaded CG, probably more solid with parameter tweaking.

http://people.pwf.cam.ac.uk/mg262/posts/Foreground/Foreground.HTML

But clouded is gone, so I don't know how much he's been able to get done on it, if anything. Hope he licked his carpal tunnel though.

Another option is to just use a really high-radius, hard tresholded filter, like maybe mipsmooth, or smartsmootherhq, or ... drat, not sure what else might, though I regularly use a few photoshop filters for it. I think you'd need some heavy edge enhancement first.

[thoralf]

@chainmax:

maybe you could also use ffdshow for this sort of stuff ... I found the posterize-options in levels quite useful.

with kind regards,
thoralf.

[CruNcher]

DmitriyV2 really nice effect filter :)

[FredThompson]

@Chainmax, I was thinking about 16 colors or so. That might come close. Your mockup didn't change the pants, though.

I wonder if there's an existing way to reduce pixel aberations by comparing them to the surrounding 26 pixels. What if 80% (or so) of the neighbors are all one value (+- a tolerance) and the test pixel is within the tolerance? Force the pixel to the neighbor value...

Look at http://neuron2.net/board/viewtopic.php?t=872 and you'll see screenshots from some of the Charles Schwab ads.

Oh, maybe you should posterize first. That would help flatten the chroma in a more uniform manner. I wonder if there's a way to automate exporting frames to The GIMP to use a refined posterization then importing them. Sure would be cool if that could be done inline...

Try using trevlac's colourlooks VirtualDub filter for posterization. http://www.trevlac.us/FilterDocs/

[CeeJay.dk]

Hmm .. I need a little help here.

I'd like to try this filter in ffdshow (using it's option to load avisynth filters), but I don't know how.

Could someone help me out and create an example script for ffdshow ?

UPDATE:
Nevermind .. I figured it out on my own.

I used
"
LoadVirtualDubPlugin("MSU_Cartoonizer.vdf", "MSU_Cartoonizer", 0)
ConvertToRGB32.MSU_Cartoonizer(0,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1)
"

to see if it was running , but it kept crashing on me.
Then I realized that I had forgotten to give it the full path to the plugin

I placed the plugin here : C:\Program Files\AutoGK\VDubMod\plugins

So
"
LoadVirtualDubPlugin("C:\Program Files\AutoGK\VDubMod\plugins\MSU_Cartoonizer.vdf", "MSU_Cartoonizer", 0)
ConvertToRGB32.MSU_Cartoonizer(0,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1)
"

worked.

It's not fast enough for realtime though :(

I'm currently using :
"
LoadVirtualDubPlugin("C:\Program Files\AutoGK\VDubMod\plugins\MSU_Cartoonizer.vdf", "MSU_Cartoonizer", 0)
MSU_Cartoonizer(0,4,9,0,5,1,50,2,2,1)
"

.. as I figured out that I could just switch RGB32 on as an input source in ffdshow and dispense with the ConvertToRGB32 part

[Chainmax]

@Chainmax, I was thinking about 16 colors or so. That might come close. Your mockup didn't change the pants, though.

Yeah, I forgot about the pants :). The number of colors don't make a difference though. I spoke to a friend some time ago and he suggested edge enhancement (via smoothing or plus smoothing), then for each pixel to consider an nxn (with n an odd number) matrix centered on it, calculate the average RGB value of all the pixels in the matrix and substitute that pixel's RGB values for the average. That should help reducing the nasty effect caused by most color conversion methods.

[foxyshadis]

That's exactly how smart smoother hiq works, back when I used it (pre-avisynth) I'd use diameter 7 or 9 (7x7 or 9x9 square matrix). It goes up to 21 or so. You can reduce the protection thresholds to allow pixels to incorporate wider areas. It's much better than a straight average because it only takes into account pixels below the matrix's average, or median, or something like that. Solid areas won't be perfectly flat, but close. (dct coders don't like perfectly flat areas anyway, because the transitions are too hard.) If you do need it perfectly flat, you'd need an area-filler like celforeground, or maybe one of vchoman's filters.

yuy2 only unless you can convince someone to update it though. :p

[Chainmax]

But would it yield results similar to my example?

[foxyshadis]

Ugh, I can't get the avisynth smoothhiq to even work anymore, never mind. It doesn't go high enough radius to match photoshop's smart blur at high radius anyway. Bother.

[Fizick]

Almost any Vitrualdub plugin can be used in avisynth.

Cortoonizer is not Avisynth plugin,
so why it discussed in Avisynth forum instead of Virtualub?
Move to?

Hm... We are not so familiar with avisynth support (but working in this direction).

Thanks for report!

[tin3tin]

Thanks for this great plugin!

However I've run into promlems when using it more times in the same script. Somehow the first instances turn out black. And if you run it in AvsP, the result will only come out correct the first time you refresh preview. I don't know if it is the plugin which is causing this or something else.

@DimitriyV2

Hi!

Please clarify - V.3.0 was released in April 2006. If you are now announcing the release of an improved version of the original v.3.0, shouldn't it have a different number/sub-number?

Does "Performance optimized mean (I hope) that it's faster?

In April 2006 version 2.0 was released. I edit first message of this thread to insert information about 3.0.

Does "Performance optimized mean (I hope) that it's faster?

Yes, but main concentration was on new effects.

[foxyshadis]

It's even better! It's still slow, but the new mode is neat. =D

Interestingly, the Cel Shade mode (called "Filled Segments") with edges turned off is an acceptible substitute for Clouded's CelForeground. Though without CelBackground to back it up, it's still not to useful.

Since I love Cartoonizer, I put together an avisynth interface for ease of use. It sort of follows the readme, but I gave some things new names and orders that I thought were more intuitive... apologies if that's an issue. It has a couple of prototype presets - sorry about the convoluted syntax, avisynth is a bit awkward to work with, and it's still nicer than my first version - but my main motivation was having something to use with AvsP. Feel free to customize as desired.

As mentioned earlier, it still has trouble with multiple copies loaded at once, so don't panic if it comes up black, just exit and reload. (In AvsP, you can put a toggle like "return last" immediately after the Source to reset it.)

Hello all,

i just wanted to take a look at this msu_cartoonizer plugin for virtualdub, but i didn´t get the chance to download it from compression.ru.

I also searched the internet via google for any mirrors, but all sites i found, were directly linked to compression.ru which is currently not reachable. :confused:

This is the reason i would like to ask you dear people from doom9 forum if anyone could generously provide a mirror with this plugin.

thanks in advance. :thanks:

Sorry for wiping some dust...


To recreate the functionality of this VirtualDub filter with native AviSynth filters, I believe one could combine tritical's TEdgeMask filter (as mode "Drawing", and as possible pre-quant overlay for a mode "Cartoon") with some filter which does a "color quantization" (using Heckbert's Median Cut or an Octree algorithm) for mode "Painting"; unfortunately I don't know if such a filter already exists.
