wow. that's cool and congrats on the EP!

Wow! Definitely one of my new favorites. I love it!
Congratulations and Good Job!

Super!

The glass cubes and the reflections are impressive! You've made the cubes seem so real, so three-dimensional! I've been making filters with filter forge for over three years now, and I am all but baffled as to how you've done this.

WOW!! this is is super awesome, creative, amazing impressive and original filter!!!! Same as said by Erik "Definitely one of my new favorites. I love it!" This really leaves me breathless. And after making some tests with different prests and settings I had tears of joy and emotion after seeing the beautiful and nice results I was looking at.

All the effects you have created with the cubes and different textures and shades are excellent and gives lots of possible combinations and the gold looking and lighting, and all is fantastic.

10.000 thanks for this filter (this deserves totally to have won the 10.000 filter number)

Here I will put some of the examples I have done:

This is a jungle photo where I have reduced the size pixels setting to 400. This is not really seen very well because is low resolution and the Jpeg degrades the image quality (must be under 250k)

But what I like most is that this can be used to modify a real photo and the filter captures excellent and perfectly the colors of the base photo to show it in the cubes !!!

Here a big red and yellow tulip flower done reducing the size pixels in settings to 295

And this is the same as above in another close up in greater detail showing the lovely different colors tones captured and created by your awesome filter

And what about with two colorful parrots ?

Again sorry for the blurry quality as this is not real, in the awesome and perfect result from the filter it looks really great in high resolution.

And this is the same of the parrots above in a close up in real size of the center part showing the lovely different colors tones captured and created by your awesome filter

And this is the same of the parrots above with size pixels setting 190 in a close up in greater detail showing the lovely different colors tones captured and created by your awesome filter, but far from real size, which looks beautifully sharp and perfect.

And this is the same of the tiger above in a close up in bigger detail but not real size showing the lovely different tones captured and created by your awesome filter

And now finally a multicolor cubes composition based on a group of flowers of different colors with size pixel setting 950.

And this is the same as above multicolor cubes in the real size showing the lovely colors captured by your awesome filter.

Love very much the different kind of blocks, golden metallic blocks with reflections, glass blocks, semitransparent, solid blocks, textured blocks, and different shades and shading, and the possible reflections and effects that can be added.

And also how the shadows are made and affect different cubes depending of their position and the surrounding cubes heights and sides.

I do not have enough words to describe how beautiful, excellent and well done thisfilter has been made.

Thanks a million inujima for this real gem of filter and for having such a great idea and expert skill in FF for making this.

Did I say how much I love this filter already ?

I have another example made with a rectangle white mask over a multicolor texture and love the way it makes to cut the mask from the original in a very good way.

I have used the first default preset and changed only the size pixels setting to 700 instead of 3000 that is the default, so I get thousands more cubes and much more detail.

And is again the same as above in real size 100%, and love how the filter can make such a beautiful textures, gradations, tones and cristal cubes and transparencies, and love much too the golden borders.

And with a black center

I have this examples of what is my suggestion so it can be understood much better and see how it should look if this was possible to make in this filter.

As shown above using a selection makes a very sharp cut on all the cubes, and my suggestion is to bel able to keep whole cubes in the borders of the selection, and this can be done only if the filter allows to have alpha masks and knows how to fill that mask so the result could be the one shown here below

I think it is interesting suggestion, but I don't plan to update this filter now.
If you have made a good customized filter, please upload it to this thread.

However, I tell you it is not easy that implementing an alpha masking without your understanding of construction of this filter.
