blackdot's thumbnail collection of shaders and effects

Post by blackdot »

hello.

i have difficulty remembering all the different shaders and effects and all so in order to get a conclusive overview over all those, i started out making screenshots and short descriptions and gathering them in a document. i assume these can be useful to other people too, so i uploaded them to my mega account.

done so far:

- with magic included glsls (pdf, 3mb):
https://mega.co.nz/#!0FAElbCK!CZAMPphgF ... PegFF_DxcI

- glsl expansion pack from https://magicmusicvisuals.com/resource (pdf, 31mb):
https://mega.co.nz/#!tIoBFa5A!UoYQnhJQ6 ... juvqIp2BFQ

- what i call "custom GLSL's", the ones Eric posted in the tutorial forum (pdf, 1.3mb):
https://mega.co.nz/#!0FhXEKYD!gZ6wqzKA6 ... dbOEw5w0Ic

- the ISF's:

and

https://mega.co.nz/#!0MoADQoJ!-x2jDKD3E ... N7uyjo5kII

i apologize for the kinda ugly layout, i was focusing on the content.
i'm open to suggestions and corrections and dont guarantee absence of errors.

\edit: made some corrections to the glsl expansion pack pdf

Yes, very helpful, thanks! Would it be more convenient if it was an HTML document that I hosted on this site? I'm more than happy to do it.

Ok cool. Let me see if I can think of a way to do it so users can edit it... Maybe a wiki page if I can get one set up here?

wiki page sounds like the way to go. like an inofficial extension to the user's guide. i'm not sure though if maintaining a quality wiki is too big of an effort. we'd certainly not want to distract you from developping precious new features :D .

Wow, this is really really great! Thanks so much. Can I host these files here on the Magic web site? And/or include them in the relevant downloads? Obviously I will be sure to credit you in any way you'd like.

yes you can host them of course. Im not sure if they qualify for "official" documentation though, as i often wrote "it apparently does this and that". It often sounds like an amateurish observation with semi-educated guesses :D . Still i think just the scrernshots themselves can be helpful already. Feel free to host them however you see fit. as said i can also provide you with the original files if needed. you can credit me under my real name :).

Wow, many thanks once again!

FYI, the FFT ones are best used like this:
audioToFFT.png
audioToFFT.png (26.78 KiB) Viewed 10988 times
It's one of the many uses of the AudioToImage module.

Some of the ISF effects take 2 inputs -- one with waveform, one with FFT -- so you will need 2 AudioToImage modules as inputs.

It works with Shadertoy shaders too, but they take only 1 input, so you need 1 AudioToImage module with both boxes checked.

I will be adding a tutorial for all this when Magic 1.6 is released.

Sorry but could you explain what is ISF? or at least where I can use those video effects in the ISF pdf which you posted?

it's some kind of awesome new shader format (called "Interactive Shader Format"). if you subscribed to the beta mailing list, you should have gotten an email with a link to a ISF-zip file, once this feature was available in beta. you have to unpack the zip and either put into the magic directory or the additional module folders directory. the shaders then show up when you rightclick>add in magic.

since the feateure is now officially released, you'll also find info and above link on the website under additional ressources.
