@github-actions github-actions released this 12 Nov 06:28

The first release of Glyphnotic: an OBS Studio plugin that redraws any video source as a live grid of characters.

What's in it

  • Four video filters, one per drawing mode:
    • Ink: characters chosen by brightness and shape, in the picture's own colors or a fixed ink.
    • Mosaic: block characters with free colors.
    • Poster: Mosaic with colors snapped to a few levels.
    • Console: a 16-color palette, VGA or captured from the picture.
  • Ten looks to start from (see them), plus five character sets including your own characters.
  • Motion controls: from a locked, steady grid that holds still on a noisy camera to a deliberately boiling one.
  • Light on the GPU: about 1.3 ms per frame for an ASCII Ink look on a 1080p source on an RTX 4070 Ti (details).

Requirements

OBS Studio 33.0.0 or later on Windows 10/11 x64 or Linux x86_64. macOS: a package is included but untested.

Which file

You have Download
Windows glyphnotic-1.0.0-windows-x64-installer.exe, or the .zip (also for portable OBS)
Ubuntu 26.04 LTS or current Debian, OBS from OBS's PPA glyphnotic-1.0.0-linux-x86_64.deb
Other Linux glyphnotic-1.0.0-linux-x86_64.tar.xz (per-user install)
macOS (may work) glyphnotic-1.0.0-macos-universal.pkg

Close OBS first. Step-by-step instructions, uninstalling and upgrading: INSTALL.md. The Windows installer isn't code-signed, so SmartScreen may warn: choose More info → Run anyway, or use the zip.

Then right-click a source → Filters → + → a Glyphnotic filter.

License

GPL-2.0-or-later. The source for this release is glyphnotic-1.0.0-source.tar.xz. The -dbgsym.ddeb file holds Linux debug symbols; most people don't need it.

Support

Glyphnotic is free. If you enjoy it, you can support its development on Ko-fi.
