Tricks with Adaptive Blocks
Today’s post will focus on some tricks you can use to generate interesting abstractions using the Block Abstraction image operation as a starting point .
Triangle Block Abstraction
The following image was generated with a few image processing effects. This post will discuss the approach taken to produce the triangular block abstraction effect shown above. You can use the technique whenever you have an image composed of flat color regions that you want to split with diagonal slices.
Spatially Variant Blur Effect
The following image shows off an example of a spatially variant blur effect. By spatially variant, we mean that the bur is different in different spatial locations in the image. The particular spatially variant blur shown above simulates rotating a camera around the center of an image while snapping a photo. This post will…
Adding a Border Effect to a Vectorizer Abstraction
The following image is a combination of a vectorizer abstraction preset with an added smart blur effects masked so that it only blurs at the edges of the image. This can be used as a technique to focus the viewer’s attention on the center of the image, and also to create a sense of…
A Different Approach to Stylized Color Block Abstraction
Yesterday’s post described an approach that can be used to build stylized blocky abstraction effects. Today’s post will continue an exploration of this kind of effect, but the technique we will use is somewhat different. How the blocks and source features embedded in them are generated is different than yesterday’s post. The colorization of…
