Bitmap Cloner

Selamat malam kepada semue.. Harini aku ade 1 lagi application yang aku buat nk share kat korang smue.

Application nie sangat simple tp agak banyak bugs sbb aku xd mase nk optimize and aku bukan pakar image processing n aku xpernah belajar image processing pon.

So, basically this application will create clone of moving object from video and save it as bitmap image. This style of art is popularized by Erdal Inci.

You can know more about Erdal Inci at http://erdalinci.tumblr.com/.. 
Since this application is open source, you can donate to Erdal Inci at given link if you think this application is useful.


So, how to use it:

1. Download the application from here.

2. Unzip the .zip file and run Cloner.

Cloner Application


3. Drag and drop a video into the application.

4. Set the background frame, start frame and stop frame.

5. See the result in Product tab and play it. Now you can see the clone effect created. Not all video file is supported.

6. Adjust number of clone to increase or decrease the number of clone.

7. Adjust speed to change the speed of the frame.

8. Adjust threshold to adjust the quality of the image.

9. Click save as bitmap image to save the result as bitmap image. The bitmap image should be created in the same folder as the Cloner application.

Here some basic tricks on creating the effect:

1. Make sure your camera is not moving while recording the video.

2. Convert to small video first.

3. Always open the Cloner application, close it, and reopen it before drag a photo to avoid crash.

4. Dont create too many clone.

5. Make sure your background frame dont have moving things.

Nie ade sample yang aku buat.. Kalau rajin aku tambah lagi.

Milipede wan, aku punye xnak masuk frame lak..

Segan aku wat video nie

You can also use the application to convert from video to bitmap image by using just 1 clone.

This application have several limitation and defect, if you want high quality product, please ask from Erdal Inci and dont forget donate to him.

 Nie je buat stakat nie, kalau aku rajin, nnt aku buat lagi, memandangkan nie open source application, sape2 je boleh tweak code die, so kalau rase aku punye code cam haram, anda dialu2kn untuk tweak coding aku.

Sekian Terima Kasih.. (^.^)

Simple Anamorphic Converter

Sori sebab lame sangat aku ambik mase untuk setelkan software nie. Sebenarnye dah lame aku siap software nie tapi takde printer nak demo camne nak gune.

Anamorphic nie ape sebenarnye kan?.. Secara ringkasnye, gambar yang kite nampak 3D dari sudut tertentu.

Sebab mende nie cam susah kalau nk buat manual and gune photoshop, so aku bermurah hati untuk buatkan korang 1 software free untuk wat mende nie. 

Lain kali kalau aku rajin, aku share equation camne nak kire die.

Jadi software nie akan convert normal image to anamorphic image.

Cara nak gune die sangat senang:

1. Download the software from here.

2. Unzip it and run the SimpleAnamorphicConverter.

3. Drag and drop an image to be converted into the application.



4. Adjust viewer distance and height base on the position you want to view the image.

5. Re-drop the image if the converted image quality is not so good.

6. Click "Save to PDF" to save the converted picture. The PDF file will be located same as the application folder named as "output.pdf".

7. Print the printed image and enjoy!!..

Some tips for a more realistic result.

1. Take the picture to be converted in the same angle as you want to see the converted image.

2. Take the picture with white background.

3. Crop the image nicely.

4. Adjust brightness and contrast to make the white background whiter.

5. After print the converted image, cut some background to make it more realistic.

6. For small image, the effect are not severe using both eye, so, use camera or only 1 eye to see it.

7. Take the picture with complete shadow and never crop the shadow.

Sini lak ade some samples yang aku buat:
