Photoshop Style Blend Mode GLSL Shaders for Isadora

[liminal_andy]

@mark Dream come true! Had some hacked together Adobe blend mode shaders that I will be thrilled to toss out in favor of these.

These will be used daily

Nevertheless, I hope these might prove interesting and/or useful for your patches. If you all do feel that it's useful, we'll make an official release of files that you can drop into the GLSL Shader folder so that all of these actors will appear as new actors in Isadora.

 

is it possible to have all in one actor with a pulldown menu to choose the effect like it is in photoshop or other software. There is so much actors in-between in the GLSL bin that it is difficult to find the right one… especially for no native english speakers.

It is possible, but it would would require 24 if/then statements in the code which would be quite inefficient because it needs to do this comparison for every pixel. (See example code below). So, until I would build this into a self-contained Isadora actor, I wouldn't attempt it.

if (shaderNumber == 0.0) then
   executeShader1()
else if (sheerNumber == 1.0) then
   executeShader2()
else if (sheerNumber == 2.0) then
...
etc.
etc.

Best Wishes,

Brilliant, 

Thanks

To test these quickly I made a user actor with some routers and a selector:

Blend Tester.iua3

And then if I find what I want I can copy the glsl actor.

 Yes, let's do that. I like this idea.
