Tinderbox 2 - Plug-Ins

There are 20 plug-ins in Tinderbox 2 (plus one bonus plug-in).

T_Bandlimit

T_Bandlimit converts an image into Fourier space, removes or keeps user specified frequencies, then converts it back into an image giving very stylised results.

T_Bars

T_Bars generates colour bars and ramps.

T_Blob

T_Blob renders smoothly shaded blobs that gloop together when they get close to one another.

T_BlurMasked

T_BlurMasked takes an image and a matte and blurs the image based on values in the matte. In some circumstances it can be used to simulate depth of field.

T_Chromatic

T_Chromatic blurs and separates the colour components of an image to simulate the colour fringing seen when light is refracted through poor quality lenses.

T_Contour

T_Contour draws closed lines along pixels with similar luminance. The result can be blended back into the original image.

T_Glass

T_Glass gives the impression of viewing an image through a layer of distorting glass.

T_Glow

T_Glow applies a glow effect to the image. Neon and other looks are possible.

T_Grain

T_Grain adds noise to images to simulate grain. A luminance curve is provided to reduce the amount of grain added in the shadows and highlights.

T_Kaleid

T_Kaleid produces a classic kaleidoscope prism effect on an image. This is achieved by simulating the inter-reflections of a triangular prism over a picture.

T_LensBlur

T_LensBlur simulates the true defocussing characteristics of a camera lens to give realistic focus pulls. It includes controls for the shape of the camera diaphragm, highlight blooming and chromatic aberration. It's fast too. Very fast.

T_LensFlare

T_LensFlare generates realistic and highly customisable lens flares. There are controls for the bright spot, light rays, polygonal lens inter-reflections and much more.

T_Newsprint

T_Newsprint converts images into their constituent dots patterns that are characteristic of printed material. There are three different print methods - Two Tone, CMY and RGB.

T_NightSky

T_NightSky renders the brightest 9000 stars visible from Earth. It uses real data so you get to see the constellations in their correct positions and with their correct colour. A dozen presets display the constellations.

T_Paint

T_Paint processes an image into one that looks as though it had be painted with acrylic paints. The brush width, softness, stroke lengths, smearing and more can be animated and customised to give a huge variety of paint styles from stippled brush effects to broad, sweeping paint smears.
