Omino Plugins Link Revision

Just an administrative note. I’ve got a set of free After Effects plugins available. The old web-page links were a bit confused, especially with respect to which ones work on After Effects CS3 and CS4, and which are for After Effects CS5.

The new link is https://omino.com/pixelblog/omino-ae-plugins/, and also appears as a “Page” in the blog nav column, and should be much clearer.

oh, i dont know. what do you think?

Free Omino AE Plugins

The Omino After Effects Suite is a handful of plugins I’ve written over the years. They’re a grab bag of mostly novelty effects. These are absolutely free. Please enjoy them. I love to hear about how you use them; email me! (poly@omino.com, subject must begin “plugin”.)

Below are links for CS3 and CS4 downloads, as well as the latest CS5-only versions. Alas, going forward, only After Effects CS5 will be supported.

For After Effects CS3 and CS4, Mac and Windows

The last release for AE CS4 and earlier is build 175.

==> All About Omino After Effects Suite 175, for Mac and Win
==> Download for AE CS3 and AE CS4 for Mac
==> Download for AC CS3 and AE CS4 for Win

For After Effects CS5, Mac Only

The current release of the Omino After Effects Suite for AE CS5 is 1.3, as of April, 2010.

(Sorry, haven’t had the time to build them for Windows yet.)

Ongoing development will be only for AE CS5 and later. This means 64-bit only, and Intel only.

This latest release also includes some plugins implemented using Pixel Bender.

AE: Omino Spindala, a Pixel Bender Filter

download ==> omino_spindala_32.pbk, an After Effects filter.

Always doing things the hard way. Needed a wheel with some symmetry, like so:

How else to do it than by drawing a circle with some blobs, and then treating it with… a handwritten pixel bender kernel:

I started describing its controls, but wouldn’t it be more fun to just try it out? Below is a slightly reduced version of the Pixel Bender kernel running in Flash.

Give it a spin! Try the parameters, or click Scramble a few times, or Go, to let it choose random parameters.

There’s no shortage of vaguely-trippy image manglers, these days, but that’s no reason not to indulge.

AE: Omino Staragon, A Pixel Bender Filter

download: ==> omino staragon 32 <== a pixel bender filter Just recently, Dale Bradshaw posted a rounded-rect pixel bender plugin. Pretty nifty!

It got me thinking, What about other rounded-corner polygons? It was a bit of a puzzle. As with all Pixel Bender plugins, the question is, What color is this pixel? How does a given pixel know if it’s inside a rounded-corner pentagon or not?

I stuck to regular and stellated polygons to start. One solution goes like so:

  • Divide the plane into pie-slices, one for each edge of the polygon.
  • For each point, decide which slice you’re in.
  • Decide if you’re inside or outside the edge.
  • For the rounding… decide which corner you’re nearest
  • Are you in the arc of that corner? If so, decide if you’re inside the rounding-radius.

Well, that was a bit of obsessive fun. Here’s a screen shot, including the parameter controls:

And here’s a little demo of it.
