A python script to generate a [slit-scan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slit-scan_photography) animation from a PNG sequence.

## Usage

```python

>>> python3 SLITSCAN.py -h

usage: SLITSCAN.py [-h] [-r] [-o .] input_dir width height

positional arguments:

  input_dir             input folder

  width                 Width of the resulting image.

  height                Height of each slice

options:

  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

  -r, --reverse

  -o ., --output-dir .  Optional output directory

```

- `input` is the path to the folder containing the PNG sequence

- `width` will be the width of the finished image. Normally this is the same as all your source image's width

- `height` is the height of each slice. The lower this value is, the better the "resolution" of the finished image will be.

- `reverse` will reverse the building direction of the image

- `output-dir` is used to set a different output path than the project folder

Example: `python3 SLITSCAN.py -h`

## Notes

- This app only supports PNG-images as input. Therefore it should be at the very end of your post-processing workflow.

## Roadmap

- Different orders (left-to-right, right-to-left, top-to-bottom, bottom-to-top)

- example scenes for common render engines
