Blender 3D : FaceBuilder from keentools.

This keentools webpage providde many tools for users.

One of these is the FaceBuilder tool for Blender 3D software.

FaceBuilder​ is an add-on for Blender for 3D-modelling of human faces and heads based on photos. With FaceBuilder you don’t need to be an experienced 3D modeler to create a quality 3D model with clean topology. You start with getting a few photos of a person from different angles of view and then place a model on each of them to build a head or a face model. The 3D models can be later used for sculpting, animation, tracking or anything else in Blender or exported into a file and imported into any other 3D software.

Shadertoy: iChannel texture - 005.

This simple example is a kaleidoscope distorsion with math functions: sine and cosine.

You can see this book name it A Mathematical Kaleidoscope: Applications in Industry, Business and Science by B Conolly, S. Vajda how math can solve many issues.

You can change the parameters to see how they interact and how the distortions and use the mouse.

Shadertoy: iChannel texture - 004.

Here is a simple example that can help us understand a bit about the theory of spatial frequency.

This theory is used in various fields as wave propagation.

The example is very simple for a better understanding.

You can change the parameters to see how they interact and how the distortions are.

Rainbow Six Extraction Operator Montagne.

Gilles "Montagne" Touré (pronounced "Mon-tah-niuhh" [mɔ̃.taɲ]) is an Attacking Operator featured in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege.

Touré began his career in law enforcement as a uniformed police officer with the National Gendarmerie. They used his imposing form whenever there was a need to show a strong police presence, earning him a spot in the Mobile Gendarmerie where the focus was on crowd control as well as military and counter-terrorism patrol missions. Touré’s push for extensive training provided him with a broad skillset and earned him a position in the GIGN. Though he’s best utilized for his breaching techniques, Touré also has training in combat engineering and reconnaissance. When not deployed with Rainbow, Touré is an instructor at GIGN.

Shadertoy: iChannel texture - 003.

In the last tutorial I add a sphere distortion and sphere distortion with movement.

Today I use iChannel2 ro get input from keyboard and use this input to move with an offset.

The source code is not perfect because I used multiple areas with texture and I add keyboard offset.

This can be solve easy if I use a buffer.

The main goal of this tutorial is to see how you can use keyboard with iChannel input.

Shadertoy: iChannel texture - 002.

In the last example I created a surface with a texture by channel inputs.

Now, I add a sphere distortion and sphere distortion with movement.

This is the source code I used:

#define PI 3.1415926

void mainImage( out vec4 fragColor, in vec2 fragCoord )
{
    vec2 uv = fragCoord.xy / iResolution.xy;
    // get poins 
    vec2 p = (2.0 * fragCoord - iResolution.xy) / iResolution.y;
    // set surface formula
    vec3 v = vec3(p.x, p.y, sqrt(1.0 - p.x * p.x - p.y * p.y));
    // create normals 
    vec3 n = normalize(v);
    
    // https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distortion_(optics)
    vec2 sphere_distortion = vec2(atan(n.z, n.x) / PI,0.00000001 * p.y);

    vec4 color = vec4(0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0);
    
    if (uv.x > 0.0 && uv.x < 0.5)
    {
   		//color = texture(iChannel0, vec2(1.0 - (uv.x/0.5),uv.y/0.5)+ sphere_distortion);
        // with movement iTime
        color = texture(iChannel0, vec2(1.0 * iTime- (uv.x/0.5),uv.y/0.5)+ sphere_distortion);
    } 
    else if (uv.x > 0.5 && uv.x < 1.0) 
    { 
        //color = texture(iChannel1, vec2((uv.x/0.5),uv.y)+ sphere_distortion);
        // with movement iTime
        color = texture(iChannel0, vec2(iTime-(uv.x/0.5),uv.y)+ sphere_distortion);
        
    } 
	fragColor = color;
}
