Tests of the other two shots in this sequence:

Wonky, unfortunately, hopefully better in motion.  So do I increase the 32x32 grid to something denser, but that would make the frames harder to distinguish.  The red sun is rather rank, reads well from a distance but lacks up close inspection relevance.

Full size: http://noneinc.com/SWxTPM-4DWHUXGA/SW4D-Suns-(8)_Full-PT.jpg

This frame works.  The first sun is made up of Tatooine shots from TPM and the second sun shots of the climax of RotS.  Conceptually great.  Looked a lot better in the rendering process as the program started with RotS frames so the whole sky was a nice deep red of Mustafar.  But then the AotC frames dropped in the beige (upper right) stuff.  So this will affect the 3 movie mix.  maybe have the suns shot created by each movie alone then mix them together.  The mixing is the next unknown to tackle.

^Thanks. Someone needs to collect these stories in a blog along with horror stories the cast and crew sometimes have with fandom.

Could we get an extended credits bonus feature with all these threats?  I luvz da stuff.  Seeing how far fandom goes awry, and the wacky places they travel to.

but although been there longer then 005, my post count is no where near as high, but i've also posted recently. 

So what other SW forums have people migrated here from? 

Which ones are gone?

Fixed.

This thread is about: Anything!!!

How much of a gap was between Bantha Tracks and the Lucasfilm Fan Club Magazine? (which eventually became Star Wars Insider)

Taste is waste.

Here are the results of a few more tests.  First test was to increase the image pool size.  From 4/sec to 12/sec.  And there is a pay off as the edge definition of the original on frame objects improves.  The sky becomes a little more blocky though.

Original (4/sec) - 32000 Frames

New (12/sec) - 95830 Frames

Full Size: http://noneinc.com/SWxTPM-4DWHUXGA/SWxTPM-WHUXGA_32x32x95830.jpg

And figured might as well see what happens when the other movies get added, so here's a test at 8/sec with TPM and AotC.

Full Size: http://noneinc.com/SWxTPM-4DWHUXGA/SW4D-(8)_TPM-AotC.jpg

Cutting back to 8 from 12 affects the edge quality.  But internal definition, gradated areas, improve.  Luke's got eyes sockets now. But the overall face because the program is chosing color over composition seems to have suffered.

Had been letting the program run at night, but would often crash, so need to babysit and save every so often so the processing calculations aren't lost completely.  6 hours or so per frame.

So current thinking is as a proof of concept, do this one scene from SW, Luke and the twin suns.  Start with original footage, then fade/convert to just TPM mosaic interpretation, then add in the other two movies.  30 seconds or so.

SilverWook: Not to mention Yoda's weed cultivating third cousin twice removed...

You heard what he did to Thaddeus, can't have that in the SW universe...

Those effects were weird, the real person arms but animatronic head, just odd.  I'm amazed by McBride's career.  the humor is so base yet people put a lot of money into his productions.
