AbsentMotionASCII
Turns the layer into text art made of letters and symbols: brighter parts get fuller characters. Size sets how wide each character is on the layer, so the characters move, turn and scale with it. Color keeps the picture's own colors or uses one color, and Edge Lines draws outlines with | - / and \ characters.
ASCII turns a layer into text art made of letters and symbols: brighter parts get fuller characters. It works on videos, photos, text and shapes.
- Size is how wide each character is, measured on the layer, so the characters move, turn and scale with it. Smaller sizes keep more detail.
- Characters picks the set: Detailed, Simple, Blocks, Binary, or Custom, where you type your own characters.
- Color keeps the picture's own colors (Original) or draws every character in one Text Color. Background is None, so the layer shows through between the characters, or a Background Color.
- Contrast, Brightness and Invert change which character each part gets. Edge Lines draws outlines with the characters
