TurnsTile - Mosaic and palette functions for AviSynth

TurnsTile, an AviSynth 2.5.x plugin

Provides a pair of functions: TurnsTile(), which offers a mosaic effect based on either a user defined tilesheet (as seen in these examples) or the contents of your video, and CLUTer(), which lets you apply an arbitrary color palette to a clip.

Both filters accept RGB32, RGB24, YUY2, or YV12 input.

Sample usage:

Use the included "thermal_16x16.png" to build a cheap simulation of a thermal imaging camera, as seen in example number three. Control your lighting, exposure, and grading to make "hot" spots bright and cool spots dark, then feed through TurnsTile. Use your own tileset if you don't like my rainbow.

For an ASCII look, try something like sample four. That tilesheet is not included; the tiles are from Dwarf Fortress, and were keyed over black. Download DF from http://www.bay12games.com/ and check the data\art directory, then use ColorKeyMask($FF00FF) to generate a mask from the magenta. Call TurnsTile with tilew=10, tileh=12 for curses_800x600. No doubt you can find other ASCII character sheets across the internet. Figure out their tile sizes and go to town!

Anyone curious about the source clip used in sample four, see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7or1c6UdxA
