I would play around with the following effects:
Filters\CarvedGlass
Filters\LineArt
Filters\Distortion

Remember that all filter effects can be applied to the camera layer.

This kind of effects are very resolution dependent and can also easily be ruined by YouTube's re-encoder so it's best to do some publishing experiments in the early stage of your project.

I tried these effects and tried overlay pictures too but i don't obtain very good results because they don't add this RGB colors lights effect so specific to crt effect as we can see on example
3 and 5..

vincent, 3 weeks ago

Here's a quick experiment using the Filters\CarvedGlass effect.

Maybe it's the glow you're missing. Mark the GLOW checkbox in the LAYER > ACTIVE LAYER PROPERTIES dialog for all layers you want to glow.

It's not bad at all, but since we can't stack the effects, it would be nice to have another Carved Glass effect (or in the same one) that adds blue, red, green on the edge of the lines, and the ultimate would be to have 2 sets of lines to which we would give different orientations (e.g. vertical and horizontal). Thank you.

Shaders that only affect the texture can be stacked: use the output as the input texture for the next shader. In BluffTitler those shaders can be found in the Effects/Filters folder. They can be stacked by using a colour map layer: apply the 1st effect to the camera layer attached to the colour map and the 2nd effect to the global camera layer.

michiel, 3 weeks ago

it means you'll not create a new effect, i'll try combinations with colourmap and I will publish the result if it is correct.

vincent, 3 weeks ago

With stacking method an effect ignores the settings of the other effect they are totally independent so its not easy to set the ensemble. And how to use this method on camera ?

I don't like to mention other softwares here, but can't we take inspiration from this plugin?

And then it would be a very useful and general purpose effect specially for the camera layer.

vincent, 3 weeks ago

It's difficult to understand what you are looking for when you give 5 different examples.

An effect similar to your 3rd example can be made by applying the Filters\Honeycomb effect to the camera layer and adding glow.

michiel, 3 weeks ago

If we take the 3rd example there are 3 effects

1) Possiblity to pixelize texture with honeycomb or square or rectangle or circles etc.... as in your pic

2) add different colors on pixel edges (red on left, blue on right etc...) or in the entire object edges
(vector, text, model...)

3) blurr setting

Do you think it is possible ?

I have never used Adobe AE for the simple reason that I don't have it (too expensive for me) but I showed you this plugin because it seems to have a complete range of effects that you can draw inspiration from.

vincent, 3 weeks ago

I think it's not the pixel edges, but the dots themselves that render the red, green and blue colour components. Here's a screenshot of an experimental version of the Filters\Honeycomb effect. To make it brighter, it uses cyan, magenta and yellow instead of red, green and blue. Is this what you're looking for?

michiel, 3 weeks ago

Here's the current Filters\LineArt effect in action.

michiel, 3 weeks ago

And this is the Filters\Distortion effect.

michiel, 3 weeks ago

Michiel, your 3rd example is good, can you post the show to see the settings ? Thank you.

I tried this one :
1) model BIX
2) 1st layer duplicated slightly shifted to the right colored green
3) 1st layer duplicated slightly shifted to the left colored red
And i have applied \Filters\Squares.cfx on camera

Maybe some infos here : creativemarket.com...

vincent, 3 weeks ago

Vincent, the 3rd example has been made with an experimental version of the Filters\Honeycomb effect. When it's stable, we can publish it in this community.

michiel, 3 weeks ago

This is the Filters\Distortion effect applied to the camera layer.

All sliders of all FX props are set to 0, except;
FX Global distortion 1
FX Dark odd scanlines 0.5, 0.01
FX Red displacement 0.005 0
FX Green displacement -0.005 0
FX Blue displacement 0 -0.01

michiel, 3 weeks ago

Thank you michiel. You new honeycomb effect is very interesting too.

vincent, 3 weeks ago

michiel,
Is it possible to free up effect programming by ourselves?
I tried MS directx effect compiler but it is not compatible with BT or maybe i could not.

SamSaam, 3 weeks ago

SamSaam, we have no plans to launch the developer edition.

But the CFX format is a fully documented open format. When you are a software engineer you can use this info to make your own effects:

michiel, 3 weeks ago

Dear michiel,
I have written this code for another projects, how can I test it on Blufftitler?
Is there any way? or is there any software that can compile my code to cfx?
Is it possible to give me a self develeoper version that i can use and test my codes and publish here?

SamSaam, please do not hijack this article. Instead make your own article.

We do not offer an effect compile service, but when you make a new article, clean this article and upload all your code (where is your VS_Main function for example?) we can make an exception and compile your code to CFX.

michiel, 2 weeks ago

Vincent, version 16.7.6.2, launched today, introduces FX RGB props in the Filters\Honeycomb, Filters\Squares and Filters\Circles effects. The installer comes with a demo: Picture\Filters_RGB.bt

I hope this is what you were looking for. Thanks again for your request!

Thank you michiel i'll try these filters.

vincent, 2 weeks ago

They work great, thank you again!
