AmazingAnimationGenerator

This is a PHP CLI script, that creates the base image and the mask for this special optical illusion.

This script takes an animation's frames, and outputs the Amazing Animation as made popular (or at least known to me) by brusspup: https://youtube.com/watch?v=UW5bcsax78I

If you print the two images (the mask should be printed on a transparent foil) then it will look awesome in real life too.

Demo

There is a demo rendering and output included:

The output is two files, the mask and the base image and a test.html which let's you drag and drop the mask above the base, see it in action here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Kt-P-qZyrTo

The kopiascsaba.hu.ntp file is a Natron project file.
