denisb Posted October 16, 2022 Report Share Posted October 16, 2022 Hi Tom, It's a bug of PTE11. It forgot the pictures if we export a Custom Transition which is in the local storage. I put the picture manually and hope it works. DB_Tidal_bore.pteeff DB_Wave.pteeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom95521 Posted October 16, 2022 Report Share Posted October 16, 2022 It's still not working for me. Maybe if you post project zip it would be included or I will wait for Beta 3 to fix the bug. Thanks, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonton Bruno Posted October 16, 2022 Report Share Posted October 16, 2022 Hi, Denis ! I like very much the wave transition, and I think that we would enjoy it also digonaly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom95521 Posted October 16, 2022 Report Share Posted October 16, 2022 I can see the image files if I change the extension to .zip and decompress. Probably something about my system. I will check again after Beta 3. Thanks, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denisb Posted October 17, 2022 Report Share Posted October 17, 2022 Hi Bruno, I will try it diagonally (for the waves) but I hesitate for the general movement. Denis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom95521 Posted October 18, 2022 Report Share Posted October 18, 2022 Hi Denis, I updated PTE to Beta 2 and the transitions imported just fine. I must pay more attention to updates in the future. Great transitions. Thanks, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom95521 Posted October 19, 2022 Report Share Posted October 19, 2022 Hi Denis, I hope Igor adds these transitions you created to PTE. They are really good. Mine are okay but not quite perfect. I'm scheduled to get refraction correction/lens replacement surgery (Alcon Vivity) and hope it will improve my vision. Thanks, Tom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelson Posted October 19, 2022 Report Share Posted October 19, 2022 Good luck with the surgery Tom. I would love to hear how you make out with the new lenses. Kieron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom95521 Posted October 19, 2022 Report Share Posted October 19, 2022 Thanks. Lens replacement is relatively safe and quick procedure. I am not worried. Displacement mapping reminds me of bending light like lens refraction. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted October 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2022 2 hours ago, denisb said: A new transition with some Displacement Map effect. Denis, you need to apply a Gaussian blur for a normal map image in a photo editor. It will eliminate these artefacts (pixelization?) : When you convert a height map to a normal map, it necessary to apply some smoothing (bluring).

denisb Posted October 19, 2022 Report Share Posted October 19, 2022 Thanks Igor, I know and made a jpg with blurring this PNG. This artefact comes with the posttreatment of the original (increase the contrast). I try to understand how to make good normal map.

mhwarner Posted October 19, 2022 Report Share Posted October 19, 2022 Denis, I think you read my mind! I was going to ask if you could create a transition just like your new "bubble" but was trying to think how to explain it or to provide a very short clip of something similar that I had found in Cyberlink Powerdirector! Thanks for sharing this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted October 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2022 Denis, Increasing Strength parameter in the Mask container adds more "3D volume" for the Displacement Map. Also if you use any converter from a height map to a normal map (for PTE), it usually offers additional strength parameter. For example: https://cpetry.github.io/NormalMap-Online/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denisb Posted October 20, 2022 Report Share Posted October 20, 2022 Hi Igor, but when I increase strength parameter ( the Gimp and the link you give), these artefacts appears. Denis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom95521 Posted October 24, 2022 Report Share Posted October 24, 2022 Test style with displacement map. The reflection is not correct. Probably needs to be inside another mask. Just a concept. Feel free to improve. Water Normal Map from here. Updated Lake.ptestyle with improved reflection, clouds, and wave direction changed to be more realistic.

tom95521 Posted October 27, 2022 Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 Very nice. What software did you use to create the normal map? Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted October 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 We'll add 2 new built-in presets in the next Beta for a Displacement Map effect: - Horizontal/vertical Waves - Circle Waves A number of waves will be customizable. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
