GIMP -Plugins

Post by DagF »

I don't think we have made a list of what plugins we use so i will start.

I have a few plugins but i rearly use any other than resynthesizer. It is a texture synthesis, but it works good for making tilable textures.
I know there is one that folows GIMP, but i find this better.
You select what you want to make tilable, select horisontal and or vertical then start it.
It works inside the same window and i find the result more than ofter to be good.

It works nice on much of the images from cgtextures but i can not get it working correctly with the onec i have taken forcing me to do it like in 27's tutos.

It's in photoshop CS5 but it's called "content aware fill". basically you just make a selection, hit delete and pick "content aware" and photoshop replaces the selection with surrounding pattern. It's great when you want to remove a larger detail and retouching it would take hours. Or to fix seams.

This isn't a gimp plugin but I found this project from 2002

Semi Causal Nonparametric Markov Random Field Texture Synthesis on a Gaussian Pyramid with K Nearest Search

The site has a little C++ app that can be downloaded and built on windows, linux or mac and then run from the command line, the results are quite good.

I started with this teeny image of rust (64x64)

Teeny sample

and it created me a nice 512x512 texture like this

Using a single blob

It can generate something like this

blob_n1_s_t4_c_256x256.png
blob_n1_s_t4_c_256x256.png (19.3 KiB) Viewed 21350 times


or with slightly different parameters

blob_n1_s_t5_c_256x256.png

If you like command line tools, you might like this. The cool thing about using command line tools is that you can set up a directory of samples, run the tool overnight and wake up a 100 new textures.

I had this problem also - try this inside the build folder.

g++ -O3 -fopenmp -I/usr/local/include/ImageMagick -I./src nonparaMRF_gaussian_k.cc lib/libImage.a lib/nr_lib.a Neighbourhood.o Option.o Pyramid.o Glib.o -L/usr/local/lib -lMagick++ -lMagickCore -L/usr/local/lib -lMagick++ -lMagickCore -o nonparaMRF_gaussian_k

I moved the -l libraries to the end of the line and it worked. You can edit the make file to fix this for all builds.

I perhaps should have mentioned that I had to mess around with it to get it to compile.
