Desired Book: BitmapData, Pixel Bender Toolkit, etc.

Thursday, October 9, 2008   

I would pay a good amount of hard earned cash on the spot if I ever came across a single tome sporting topics on BitmapData, Pixel Bender Toolkit filter authoring, and generally Bitmap manipulation in FP10. It wouldn't even need to be a single book, but it could be a volume or two. I wouldn't care. It would save a lot of time with experimentations, googling, etc.

I am swimming through the thick waters of pixel data as of late, and gleaning tips, tricks, methods, libraries, etc. would be most helpful if compiled in an easy to locate and indexed source.

BitmapData has been around for a while now, but with the introduction of .pbj files and many finds about Bitmaps and BitmapData, it might be a nice thing to have come out for those focusing like a laser on doing cool things with the technology.

I often find myself playing with magic numbers in Matrix's and hope it holds up when dynamic, etc. NOT a good thing.

I'm just sayin'.

“Having done a lot of programatic bitmap work recently I'm with you on this too. Has anyone put together a compilation post of tips and tutorials on BitmapData / pixelblender stuff?”
