Here is the file! it’s also on [gumroad]() for free with properly linked img sequence but the file is too big for discord also made a small [yt video]() but I’m no Paul Esteves 😌 😋

kuwahara is a cool trick but it does date from 1976, bilateral filters are a more controllable and better behaved way to filter while avoiding edges… here’s one i use a lot in comp and just translated from glsl to opencl
it works ok on bacon but i do feel like it could be improved 🤔 it’s the kind of thing that works better in log than linear and the threshold control might be better if it was a hard cutoff so colours past a certain distance are ignored, instead of this drastic pow() curve thing i’m doing

dumb cops question – does anyone know how to get the size of the volume in hscript?
i thought volumeres but no luck 🙁
finished prefix sum, now around 15x faster 👀
also the iterations can be animated now

a while ago I thought it would be fun to try and optimize the “equalize” node. It’s not perfect since I don’t think cops allows image inputs of different sizes but it seems to run faster than the builtin “equalize” node by using a more parallel-friendly algorithm. Thought I’d drop that here in case anybody is interested

this page is still pretty wip but i added more info about atomics if it helps (based on my current understanding of them) it might be worth reading the “how opencl runs” section first github.com/MysteryPancake/Houdini-OpenCL?tab=readme-ov-file#atomic-operations
