I've been trying to get something that repeats an element a predicable number of times in a radial direction. With some fudging of gradients I can get to the attached image but it's very inaccurate- what I'd like to see in the final product is a perfect circle repeated.

I did some hunting and the only thing I could find was this one: http://www.filterforge.com/filters/3166.html

This is NOT how I want to do it smile;)

While investigating the links you gave me though, I couldn't help but do a litlle mod of leaf by design, take a look and see if you like it

Hi KG,

This should do it. Made from ByRo/UberZev spherize/unspherize snippets.

Put the element you want to repeat in the horizontal center, in the top half.

That's freakin brilliant, thanks a bunch. I'll format it a bit and post my early results here, then you should submit it as a snippet.

Still needs a lot of tweaking, but here's one pass I took with it.



I'll paste the snippet here soon.

Here's the snippet, ThreeDee, please submit it to the library- I want you to have the credit and I think this is an important snippet! It's all ready to go with presets, it just needs a textual description (you know who to give credit to and whatnot).

Very nice, TD! You should definitely submit that one to the library...

Thanks. I submitted it -- the original version -- as a snippet. I can see some other filter potential in it.

Having seen other filter potential in the Radial Tiling one, I made a couple of interesting ones. Coming soon to a Filter Store near you...

Oh shoot, I just realized this will make it possible to do some nice flower-type stuff, too. Gotta give it a try.

This is so frustrating... I really needed this technique for something all those months ago and now for the LIFE of me I can't remember what it was!
