A way to make a Q*Bert style with 3 color cubes and with missing cubes

Please if you want to try for the missing cubes, as shown in the last 3 post of the previous page, this is the filter made by uberzev

The mask is made from the source color control

Cuberism Simplified Mask.ffxml

As yu have said, Here I go with my destruction of cubes

This is my great "success" in making a mask for the Cuberism Mapped

I think I have made a new filter for making abstract art from triangular photo shapes

I have put 4 examples into one screenshot

I think I should spend the time and make things that I CAN DO and not continue on things that really I do not know what I doing, getting unexpected results and making things by trial and error

As said I will not continue trying to make this filter, I think that is better for me to make the cubes with your original version posted on the first post of your own thread of the Cuberism Mapped and then cut the unwanted cubes in Photoshop that is a thing I can do and is possible, and faster than trying to make this.

And for the others I will use the previous simplified version without the masking that works very well the masking and the fill or missing cubes

Thanks very much for all your help and for making this filter

Here is my wrongly final version that is badly done

I have made many other tests and tried many other ways than the one that is shown on this filter and also have tried some of the other possible solutions available in others filters with missing tiles available already in the library here

Cuberism Mapped [pre-release v2] wrong masking 2.ffxml

Nice job skybase, I was too lazy to make that for SR.

PS, You may want to "Threshold" the lifesaver's transparency because there are some semi transparent cubes that look a bit odd.

YES !!!
It looks very good and you have done it right


You of course know much better how to make filters and you are an expert filter forger

I am sorry that I have not been able to make it myself, I could in fact solve in some way (although not perfect like uberzev have done) the problem in the simpler version of the cuberism simple colored cubes, but NOT on this one

Thanks really very much for taking the time for making this for me and sharing it here and also your knowledge to solve this problem

I have seen the inside of it to see HOW you have done it and is very well done, as you I was close to it in some other experiments I have done that I did not show and I have already tried to make something similar but surely in the wrong way.

Again thanks much for making this very well done and that works very good and exactly in the way I wanted.

Can I say I love you and the way you have done this ?

and with the knockout cubes

I have seen that this ONLY works right and the settings work as they should if the image is SQUARE, because if the source image and background is non square then the settings go wild and work in a weird way (with or without image masking)

BUT this is really not important at all as I can use this perfectly without the background and add it later in Photoshop.

Want to give a huge thanks to uberzev for all the help he gave when I was trying to make this filter better and also for making the final Cuberism filter that makes what I was looking for.

Also of course to Skybase, that helped it much to fix it and give his expert advice

And I have just now after many years, I have discovered much more ideas and things to be done with this filter as shown here

Well, more exactly, the new 2020 ideas start here
