Procedural Generator (C++)

Description
This is an application that can load various image treatment plug-ins.

Features

  • Recording videos, using OpenCV or ffmpeg
  • Compatible with OpenCL

Workflow

The main application loads the plug-ins, selects the current plug-in, displays their computation results.

The plug-ins' job is made in 2 steps : image computing then image display.
  • The display step uses OpenGL and allows the use of GLSL shader language.
  • The compute step is multi-threaded in order to fasten the computations.
    • Some plug-ins only use computing step (Perlin Noise, Life Game, ...), others use only the display step (Shader Effects, Text Effects).

  • Generator is now a shared library.
  • Configuration panel is now displayed using overlays.
    Configuration panel example. Hidden configuration panel.
  • Removed dependency to wxWidgets for Generator and the plug-ins.
  • Complete review of CPU and GPU steps imbrication.
  • Can now record videos, using OpenCV or ffmpeg.

Version 1.3.0

Date : 2012-07-16

Features

  • Revised thread system : the generators now are threaded and extend also wxEvtHandler.
  • Revised communication between generator and worker threads : it is done through events.
  • Generators and worker thread are detached threads (no more joinable).
  • Revised ConfigPanel creation : the generators now hold the structure of the panel, the panel is created in main application (useful on MS-Windows so no more trouble from memory management between DLLs and main application).
  • Revised communication between generators and their ConfigPanel, all is now managed through events.

Bugs corrections

  • Corrected Gaussian Blur in ImageEffects plugin
  • Corrected a DiffusionLimitedAggregation crash in non square resolutions.
  • Corrected ShaderWebcam on GNU/Linux.

Version 1.2.3.0

Date : 2012-06-20

Features

  • New plugin : ShaderWebcam, to apply GLSL shaders over a webcam video.
    Explosion shader applied to the cam
  • Dropped boost/std threads, using wxThreads instead.
  • Improved texture update from ram, using 2 Pixel Buffer Objects
  • Modified the CMakeLists.txt in order to have a binaries directory that looks like GNU/Linux install.
  • Added FindOpenCV in cmake_modules folder. I have taken the one available on OpenCV Wiki, but modified it a bit to take care of most recent versions of it.
  • Removed the static BufferDeclaration and BufferDeclarationElements, because it caused the close crash.

Bugs corrections

  • Corrected a GUI lack of response, increasing the render loop timer time.
