    Very good, Philemo! Thank you!

    Two months ago, I considered GMIC for a plugin in Carrara... Thanks God, finally I opted for another type of plugin ! smiley

    So, maybe we need to coordinate. wink

    When I'm clear on my next idea, I'll write you about it.

    my first attempt with this useful addon, playing with provia, velvia and classic chrome filters

    @ Philemo: why didn't you put the tab in the render room? after the render it could be handier

    Very nice. Hope you'll find it usefull.

    The reason is: I put it where Carrara SDK would allow me to put it wink, in the scene effect tab.

    Terrific, Magaremoto!

    Have you tried to animate this guy (he's no more a 3D character at this level...)?

  • magaremotomagaremoto Posts: 1,227

    thanks, glad you appreciate my simple tests cool

    @ Philemo: I suspected that, actually it would be suffice work with the preview window but it doesn't work correctly: I can't activate the filters list and the preview is raytraced only so I can't figure out the final result before rendering, anyway great plugin, a must have

    @ Dudu: believe or not, I never ever tried to make a morph by myself within carrara, but it would be great make him talk or smile

    If you have PhilW's Advanced Techniques video he explains how on disk one... chapter 3. Modeling Furniture/Modeling A Morphing Cushion... Morphing is at  6:20.

    Did you put the file directly into Extensions folder, or did you make a subflder?

    When I put it in a subfolder, I noticed the same thing. But when I placed the files directly into the Extensions folder (except leaving his included subfolder), it worked well.

    One way to possibly get better response would be to lower the resolution in the render room until you're ready for a final render? I could be wrong... just an 'off-the-top' idea.

    I think they actually 'sell' a fully rigged version of him (and others) - but I don't think they're cheap.

    I apologize, my fault

    when double-clicked, it opened up the wrong carrara version (not beta) where I had put the plugin, as for the render in the preview this is what I get, is there a way to have the correct render as in the render room?

    Does anyone else have an issue where you can't change more than one or two settings before the plugin stops previewing?

    I add the GMIC filter to the scene effects, edit it, select one of the filters, hit render in the preview and all is fine. If I change any settings, or try out a different filter though, the preview often stops updating and just keeps showing my unfiltered render. I have to cancel out, delete the scene effect and re-add it in order to try a new setting or new filter..

    Yup.  Interestingly, it does this at times, and at other times it works fine when used over and over.  So, there may be a solution.

    Good idea! I'll do the same.

    Got to play with it a bit today.

    I don't use auto update in the preview.

    When the preview gets stuck, click on "Reset View."  Then hit the little blue preview Render button again.  It probably still won't work.  But repeat Reset View and hit the blue render button again, and it works every time.

    So basically just do it twice.smiley

    Regarding B&W colorize line art - I do get output, but I admit that I don't know what it should look like.

    I did a test render of some props that I made for the current challenge.  I tried with the GMIC colorize line art (both presets).

    I don't have the time to check them all.  But the first two I checked - B&W colorize line art and Film Emulation Instant pro - worked seemingly very well for me.

    On the Film Emulation, did you select a preset?

     

    Edit - could not get Frequencies - Fourier watermark to do anything.  Then again, not sure what it is supposed to do.

    None of the Lights & shadows filters you mentioned seem to do anything for me either.

    Frames - Frame smooth is definitely doing something.  Don't know if that "something" is right or not.

    I love the GMIC plugins.  For me, the real danger here in checking on these filters is that I will get hooked and not get any renders done. :)
