Love it! It reminds me of a technique you used before, which is Floyd-Steinberg dithering. However, this one seems more challenging since you used an external library, but it sets a challenge to write the whole algorithm from scratch and optimize it, which I think I will attempt!

@SianaGearz11 ай бұрын
Floyd Steinberg performs error diffusion in some direction, whatever direction you're scanning towards, say towards bottom right, so if you apply it to a moving image, your start of scan is relatively stable say top left corner but your bottom right is very noisy. This isn't visible in static images, only moving. You could potentially start scanning out from the middle but that doesn't really solve the problem, it will still be obvious where the noise is eminating from. There's a more modern algorithm with a similar visual outcome to Floyd Steinberg but without bias in any direction, where you use a precomputed blue noise as a threshold function, and you can reuse the same across frames or use a spatiotemporal variant, and the way to compute this blue noise, the foundation is in this very video - Lloyd's Relaxation of a random point set. Blue noise sampling is the foundation of a lot of modern stochastic rendering methods in graphics. There's a whole research group at Nvidia concerned with blue noise.

This algorithm is good for relaxing UV maps for unfolded meshes for artist texturing. The "raster dots" effect can easily be achieved by averaging the image into boxes of n by n pixels and drawing a circle scaled to the magnitude of the average value. Instead of scaled the dot can also be proportionally occluded by another offset dot masking it out, or a hole dot within the dot and whatnot...

@paper_airplane11 ай бұрын
Just wanted to note that there are more sophisticated stippling algorithms, like the one based on power diagrams, which is a generalization of Voronoi diagrams (implementing it _is_ a coding challenge). See "Blue noise through optimal transport" paper for details. Besides, you check whether the center of each pixel is inside the Voronoi cell to calculate its mass center. Considering each pixel as a square and calculating the intersection area with each Voronoi cell will give a significant quality improvement for the Lloyd algorithm.

0:39 Yeah! I kind of am a little confused about that particular thing, currently what I've always thought them to be was when you take a bunch of points with a given radius, then starting with the highest radius and going down just render every circle, then bits closer to a point will be prioritized over ones further resulting in segments being created. But it was never really clear whether this was actually Voronoi or just another simpler method intended to replicate it.
@flameofthephoenix839510 ай бұрын
8:29 Ah! So, it sounds like the method I learned actually is Voronoi and it's much more efficient for finding the areas than the method of having each pixel calculate their distance.

Instead of converting points to voronoi, and then figuring out which polygon a pixel is in, you could just determine which point is closest to the pixel... (The trick with remembering the previous pixel's index still works, or you could use a k-d Tree to make it efficient.)

While unrelated to this particular video, surely this comment section is as good as any! I was thinking about how it may be nice to see what you can do with exclusively bill-boarding in 3d graphics, there's of course traditional bill boarding, but you can also make other bill boarding rendering techniques, like for instance rendering 3d lines, this is where you position your image in-between the projected versions of two points then scale it up according to the distance between them and rotate it to fit between, this works really well for a similar cost to standard bill-boarding, you can also do something similar to traditional bill boarding but where you place the image at the incenter of the projected version of a 3d triangle and of course scale it to the size of the incenter too, though I haven't worked out how you could also try incorporating rotation into that to make it a little better. Regardless, I'm curious just how far you could go with just methods like these, I've already made some interesting things with it like a spider since spiders are mostly just lines anyway that could be made out of the 3d line rendering, similarly skeletons would be easy, but for anything beyond that you may need to get super artistic with both traditional and incenter bill boarding plus possibly making new rendering techniques.

If you created a circle on every point which all expand at the same rate and had them ‘flatten’ when they collided with another circle would that create the voronoi diagram? I’m not sure how efficient that would be code-wise but I’m just curious as to whether it would work at all.
