Hi,

I made a new distorsion shader. It distorts images or shaders based on three input shaders.

here some example clips:

you can find the shaderplugin on my homepage under plugins

www.bobtronic.de

this shader is PC only at the moment


have fun,
Bob

These examples look wowowow.
Downloaded it, and...see you later!
I've got things to do...

THANKS

thanks guys!

There is now a Mac version included. Download on my homepage under plugins.

I will put some example scenes together with a little description later.

Thanks. I'll need some example scenes...

bobtronic, maybe a nice toy for a few minutes fun... but...
full-frame distorsion is something I always do in 2D-post.
What`s special about doing this directly in C4D ?... additionally I guess it`s less accurate and controllable.

Maybe I´m wrong, maybe I haven't noticed the big advantage.
In my eyes, this would make only sense for people without the ability to use 2D-post software.
Even than, it seem`s that it`s limited to a few distorsion-presets.
(that 3 input-shaders in different combinations) ... or is there the chance to throw bitmaps inside ?
Please tell me more.

thanks, bob. :thumbsup: (The sample movies don't really make it clear at first that it's a shader, not a 2d post effect.)

the advantage is you can use shaders and bitmaps as inputs. so you can for example
put a Lumas shader in one input to get light controlled distorsion. or take some noise
shaders to get interesting textures. You don't have animate the shader, I wrote it
because you can create intersting textures with it. It's similar to Cinema's Distorsion
shader but with a different distorsion algorithm.

I have to say that I never used Cinema's Distorsion shader before...


so you can for example
put a Lumas shader in one input to get light controlled distorsion


Now, this sounds quite interesting.
Before I continue asking more stupid questions, I think the best is simply to try out your shader.
thanks. :)
