FoC™ (Flash on Clash™) test thread
« on: November 21, 2011, 04:58:58 AM »
I posted these in the crystal focus discussion thread, but I figured they would be easier for people to find if they were in their own thread.  I did these videos as a result of Scorpion trying to find a screen accurate FoC™ to use in his upcoming saber.  I ran some tests for him and figured that I would post them here for everybody.  I will be running some more tests soon (focd @60-120 for 120-240ms) just to show you guys what is possible.  Here are the videos in order.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMp8tlXfkug this one shows different durations

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uE-UzSKNdaQ this one shows the set duration of 65 with shimmer on clash disabled

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjR0Qu37tAw&feature=related this one shows the setting of 65 with shimmer on clash not exceeding the FoC™ duration.  it also is to show a different color.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5wkAQiuruc&feature=related finally, this one shows what I have determined is screen accurate.  This is my opinion of course, and may be entirely false.  That is for you to decide.

This video shows FoC™ settings of varying duration side by side.  Hard to tell the difference on camera, but I figured I'd do the comparison anyway.   

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeHlW6sGiaU
This video shows static FoC™ at duration 65 (130ms). 

Here is the config file I used on what I determined was "screen accurate" both to my eye and on camera.

//////////// DO NOT REMOVE //////////////////

enjoy, and I will be posting all further FoC™ tests here as well. 

EDIT 1:  Here is a setup that Darth Smorgis did.  A purple main blade (RB) with a white FoC™ (GW) using my settings.

Todo list:

FoC™ side by side comparisons of different intervals


Static FoC™ with the current duration settings

Static FoC™ of varying durations

Static FoC™ vs flickering FoC™ side by side (with lockups) of varying durations.

Awesome Alex. Thanks for posting. I'll be using this thread in a few weeks.

I think this also deserves a sticky.  ;)

The settings changed should be the same on PC, but I don't know for sure.  Hopefully someone with a PC 1.6 can confirm this (Jango, VV team, Erv, MH are the ones I have seen so far).

Stunning Alex. I would say you nailed it.

Awesome job Alex!

This vid looks absolutely sick.. My fav so far, Skyblue. I'm assuming a RGBW, with GB in series for the main? and White for the FoC.

&feature=related   

I will probably steal that setup for my Graflex ^^

 Thanks for posting this man, much appreciated. I'll definitely use this for the build with the CF v5.10 that I scored recently.

Alex, are these two using the same settings exactly?  The first video has a very bright and almost blinding FOC and gorgeous white lockup.  Or is it just because one was taken in the dark?  They both look stunning but the top video looks crazy.  :o

The blu saber settings did not change.  The camera has a hard time capturing it.

Either way they both look great.  I know it's hard to capture everything on camera. I can't wait to experience these settings in person.

Also note guys, this doesn't look nearly as good with same color foc and these settings.  I tried it (no vid though),and it just looks like a standard flicker on clash.  Same color needs longer settings imo.

Aha! So no white die even? impressive, most impressive. Was that a type O on the FoC? You don't mean GB(Main) RG(FoC)? Sorry, I just want to be sure I fully understand, awesome of you doing a lot of the work to make this just right. thanks bro!
