Oh love this one.
Looks super glittery!

Thank you!

SpaceRay, Tue, 18 Jun 2013 10:02:27 -0400
WOW! this look very and super glittery and it seems that it gives a great, beautiful and realistic result

and here it looks like the white background is converted to nice silver glitter and also keep good the details while adding the glitter bits

Nebreah2, Wed, 19 Jun 2013 21:18:11 -0400
I am so glad that you are enjoying the filter, Apple. You are welcome. I had a wonderful time creating it. Thank you so very much SpaceRay. Your images are beautiful. Thank you for sharing them. I really love how the filter keeps the detail too.

Have fun Glitterizing!

WOW!! I never expected that this project and experiment would give such a wonderful and great result that I love it much.

Thanks really much for making this gem beauty and admire the knowdledge and skills that you have to be able to make this kind of things that are much beyond all the "normal" and "usual" filter that can be found.

As it can be seen here, this can get very complex and well done graphics

SpaceRay, Tue, 18 Jun 2013 17:23:57 -0400
Here is the same settings as above but without showing the control points, I can´t say which one I prefer more, as I like and love both of them

SpaceRay, Tue, 18 Jun 2013 18:06:26 -0400
What I wonder and do not know is what most of the FF filter creator do NOT want to give access to the "Allow images" when they aubmit a filter to the library, I agree and understand that sometimes the result would be bad and not good, but others times like it happens in this filters, the result could be interesting, and I do not mean that necessarily to allow images in every single setting, but in the ones that could be possible to use and get a good result.

angelize, Wed, 19 Jun 2013 20:18:42 -0400
This is interesting, and I think its wonderful, but is there some way that the bezier handles and control points could be selectable and controlled with a curve control component? or I saw a video of a new node based photo editor/paint program being developed and in the video you see the guy selecting a rectangular selection by clicking and dragging on the preview. see here Imagine if those control points and bezier handles could be selected and manipulated on the preview window!

Thanks! I've actually done a few more since this one that are much better, but I just have not had time to upload them and get them ready for general use.

I have to say good brick is extremely hard to create. I'm still not satisfied with where I'm at on it.

Great and very good that this is available already in the online library AND now it has the transparent background that is much better than having it with a white background.

It is very well organized and well done, thanks very much for all the hard work and all the time you have spent for making by hand each one of the individual letters and arrange all of them in clean organized groups

I had to log-in just to say congratulations to you, because what a hard work you have passed through! Amazing job!
Thanks for sharing such snippet.

It will be great if one day we get to select a filter/snippet and into FF select "Make a Component". :0)

Have a great day and congratulations once again.

Skybase, Wed, 27 Jun 2012 13:02:56 -0400
Thanks people :)

I just realized I need to fix the scaling of the cross hatching.. If the image is basically 5000x3000 or over, the lines tend to look super thick when zoomed at 100%. It's a mild problem. Least for me.

Morgantao, Wed, 27 Jun 2012 13:19:45 -0400
If the image is basically 5000x3000 or over, FF tends to crap out with a bad allocation error. Least for most people ;)

How In the heck you ever figured out the proper mapping for this filter using the lookup component I will never know. Well done well done indeed

SpaceRay, Fri, 06 Jan 2012 02:35:36 -0500
How this excellent and very well done filter have not had MORE comments and have got a HU ?

It seems that they are not grateful and do not stop to say at least thank you to the maker of the filter.

Voldemort you are right, you, that for me, you are the king of the distortions, have not made a proper distortion sherical like this (not neededing ONLY square photos), and inujima have figured out how to do it properly and very well done. Although you (voldemort) have lots of great and excellent filters made.

Quote
MANY EXAMPLES DONE WITH THIS WELL DONE AND GREAT FILTER I have put many different examples of what this great and beautiful filter can do with a panoramic rectangular photo Please see those examples I have made in this other thread here ----> http://www.filterforge.com/forum/read...ssage98485

COULD THE ORNAMENTAL BALL FILTER BE MODIFIED AND CHANGED WITH THE KIND OF 2D PROJECTIONS USED IN THIS FILTER HERE ?

Inujima, you have done both filters, but in this one you have 3D Spherical Proyections AND ALSO have 2D spherical Projections using kind of similar Polar coordinates.

I have a question and possible suggestion: ¿ Could the Ornamented ball filter be modified to ALSO include the 2D spherical projections as can be seen in this Spherical Projection filter ?

I know that is NOT the same thing and in this one is based on a external photo, and on the ornamented ball is based on a FF generated images, BUT would be really interesting to have the lovely and beautiful metallic ornamental grids and textures on 2D projections also.

AND also be able to change the background beautiful textures with your own textures or photos without going to the filter editor.

I do not know if this could be possible to do, or could be very difficult.

inujima, Mon, 09 Jan 2012 19:58:55 -0500
Although there is no plan updating both of the filters at present, a combined filter can be made immediately. :)

This filter is here
Since filter file size has exceeded over 300Kbytes, uploaded to different site.
Perhaps, this link will be deleted after 3 months.
I think upload size of this forums is too small. :evil:

WOW!!!! Inujima if I thought that your Ornamented balls AND Spherical Projection filters was really great, wonderful and awesomely done, what I have to say when you COMBINE and "Colision" BOTH ???

Explosion of Awesomeness !!!!

You have made a excellent work mixing both in one filter and now is even much more interesting, useful and lovely, and with more possibilities and features working toghether to make beautiful results.

Thanks really very much for creating this mix of both filters.

I think that you should send this as a new filter to the library.

Good to see it finaly online :)

Mongoose King, Mon, 25 Jun 2012 17:20:51 -0400
Well, I've submitted an update already so you'll be downloading it all over again tomorrow. :P About a minute after I submitted it I realised I could cut out an entire branch of the filter, about 1/3 of the components and have it look pretty much just as good.

SpaceRay, Mon, 25 Jun 2012 21:27:53 -0400
Very well done, like it much how it looks and this gives lots of possible combinations and even more if you count that thankfully you have activated the "allowed images" so you can load your own images to be wrapped around the pipes as texture.

Congratulations, you are the winner of the pipes challenge after 5 years of FF.

Been trying out a new version that will let you have custom shapes and images on the circuit boxes. Here's an example...

Thanks SpaceRay
I wanted to be able to zoom out then scroll around until I find an interesting shape and then center it and then zoom in on it to make the interesting feature fill the picture. Must be careful not to OUT too far or it gets slow.

Enjoy, I am really proud of this one!

* it's a bit slow, but could be worse
* FF2 has a bug wich won't render at 1024 or higher (at least in my computer)
* Next iteration may bring random wood and window texture but that may slow down a lot the filter (right now windows are clones).
* Not worth an Editor's Pick :(

It's pretty slow at the moment and I need to get through it again to optimize it, but I don't think I can get it much faster. Please tell what you think of it. As a new User, I would love to hear your suggestions on my work :)

When I saw this great example shown in your own thread I was stunned and thought it was really great and excellent and now you have done a filter with it!!!!

Thanks very much for making this unusual and original filter.

WOW!!! Congratulations for having made such a great, amazing and awesome filter that is very well done and much better that what I thought and imagined after seeing the first preview. It is clever done and have really good customization and variations options.

Congratulations also for the EP award that you really deserve it very much for creating this beauty of filter.

Like and love much this filter :loveff:

I am still surprised and do not know how you have done so well that the strips hang straight when you raise the image up with progress bar AND that this strips twist and bend when you lower it and touchs the bottom of the image limit, :eek: :eek: it looks like the strips are really there in a very realistic way and you lift or lower them as it would be in real life, awesome and amazing effect!!

AND also how the strips bend when reaching the bottom AND it shows the back part of it like a realistic strip in 3D :eek:

SUGGESTION

You have put well done and good amount of customization controls, and like it, but I was thinking that perhaps, if it would be possible, to have a control to separate the strips one from each other, I mean to make a little wider if wanted the space between each strip.

Also like much the good presets you have put

Touching the floor the strips bend

AND very good that you can lift up them and fall straight :eek:

and even more straight like a strips curtain

And also of course that you can customize the width of the strips from very tiny to thick ones as shown here below

SpaceRay, Wed, 06 Mar 2013 03:52:39 -0500
lover the great effect it can make and how the strips are created and how they are mixed together.

Congratulations!!!!!
There are always a lot to learn when investigating your filters guts!! :loveff:

SpaceRay, Wed, 06 Mar 2013 05:57:51 -0500
I have to say that in this filter is very important to experiment and try if needed with a higher antialias setting to have a possibly higher and better quality when modifying some settings.

I have seen that by default some presets have already Antialias 25 samples

Filters like this one is what rises the value and the reason to own and buy Filter Forge as this is not possible to make in any other available software or plugin for Photoshop or whatever other software.

Here is shredding a kiwi :D

SpaceRay, Wed, 06 Mar 2013 09:22:55 -0500
Did I say How much I love this filter? :loveff: :loveff:

The options and customization is really great and from experimenting and trying different settings I find that I like it more and more, and is very well done and cleverly thought.

SpaceRay, Wed, 06 Mar 2013 09:57:29 -0500
Please, would there be some way where the strips are kept straight (as shown in the image below) BUT that would be possible also to keep the image in the whole when using the "progress" setting and not get cut in the top?

Well I have found a very easy way so that the "progress" setting does not cut your image when using it, and it is to prepare the source image adding some more space to the canvas in the top part, so when you use the progress setting it will not cut any valuable and wanted part of the image.

SpaceRay, Wed, 06 Mar 2013 10:22:03 -0500
And here is a test to show that increasing the top part of the image with extra disposable canvas can help very much to keep the original image intact and still be able the strips in the way you want.

Here I have added some more canvas to the top part using photoshop

SpaceRay, Wed, 06 Mar 2013 10:32:28 -0500
So having added this disposable canvas to the source image I can use the "Progress" slider and do not loose any valuable part of the source image. If found that the disposable canvas added is too big for the result you want, just make it shorter.

This example shown here would have not been possible to make in another way as you would loose the black frame and part of the image using the "progress" setting

But enlarging with the disposable canvas as shown here above will let you make this image shown below possible :) (cut any unwanted disposable canvas if needed or make it shorter)

I've heard pasta mentioned. Has anyone come up with a way to make the strips come out round like spaghetti rather than flat like linguini ?
or also round like ground beef or even play doh fun factory

Hey Indi
That looks like those might be round. Are they?
Were you some how able to change strip profile to rounded rather than flat?

ddaydreams, Tue, 30 Apr 2013 09:48:06 -0400
Indigo Ray, is there a way you can share the round spaghetti version? or can you show us what you changed in the filter editor to get the roundness?

Indigo Ray, Tue, 30 Apr 2013 13:33:29 -0400
Some tips:
1. ThreeDee included components that make the strips thin like a ribbon when they twist. It looks super cool, but not for spaghetti. Figure out what's causing that effect and disable it. (or if you want linguine, lessen the effect)

2. Spaghetti noodles are round. Use a "circular arc" curve for that. You want the edges of the noodles to be a little darker to get a 3D effect.

3. Pasta is a grain. Make it grainy with a perlin noise. Marinara sauce background is optional. ;)

ddaydreams, Thu, 02 May 2013 13:22:41 -0400
Thanks for tips, I'll have to try those.

SpaceRay, Wed, 12 Jun 2013 17:38:25 -0400
I have to say that this filter remembers me very much to the well done video of Placebo - Slave to the wages and how the objects are shredding when she is near.

To see the shredding effect, it starts at 1:36 (1 minute 36 seconds) of the song, and if you do not to hear all the song until this point here is

NOw it would be also good that you could MULTIPLY the cookies and have lots of cookies in the same image, but I think that for this there are already available some other filters, so you use your sweet cookie generator and then use another filter to multiply them.

Turning max blur up a lot brings in a lot of alpha... maybe from a seamless issue?

Do you have an example?

Betis, Sun, 30 Dec 2012 14:13:30 -0500
Sure! I just used the default preset and turned up the max blur to 100 (but it happens at values before that too)

Also the presets don't work when I download it. Probably because the preset shapes aren't hooked up to the main script node lol

xirja, Tue, 01 Jan 2013 05:02:19 -0500
Sadly this filter persistently crashes FF 3.011 on mac OS 10.6.3. Tried several edits of the ffxml, but it is still a problem. The presets render, but not one square of the render window does before crashing. Part of the crash log says something about Thread 15 (or Thread 0 if in 1 CPU mode):

LUA component is quite buggy on the Mac, so it kinda blows up. It works ... sometimes doesn't... hangs in both realms. So this filter does explode, but it's not the author's fault. ;)

xirja, Tue, 01 Jan 2013 18:01:54 -0500
Some Lua bug fixes we'll happily wait for :| ; that 'sometimes doesn't' is a thriller.

The alpha issue appears when the source image is a color component, but not when the source is an image component no?

Betis, Wed, 02 Jan 2013 01:42:19 -0500
When the blur map input is a color or the summed area table input?

This setup had the tree default image processed by the blur and plugged into the Summed Areat Table input. The Radius input is a black and white map supplied by the preset inputs in the filter. However if the blur input is a solid color and blur level at 100, the alpha problem does not appear.

Sphinx., Thu, 03 Jan 2013 01:59:52 -0500
FF changed the way the color/image control works in FF4 so the filters demo shapes are not working in FF4. I'll fix that.

I see the alpha problem too - I'll see what I can do about it..might have to tweak radius = 4 * (1 / (radius * 2)^2).

About the instability issues: if a filter crashes, it is a problem with FF. However it is possible to construct the filter without script components (its just way more work), so I'll consider a script free version.

Sphinx., Sat, 05 Jan 2013 16:20:50 -0500
Update in queue.. fixes the FF4 and alpha problem :-)

Script free version will not be made atm. - I'll wait till grouping is introduced in FF4..

Betis, Mon, 07 Jan 2013 03:30:16 -0500
Awesome! It's perfect now :D

Although one question... MAGIC constant? seems to be just over 4...

Sphinx., Mon, 07 Jan 2013 14:07:18 -0500
Heh, well some of that "MAGIC" is simply a precalculation (4). The rest is compensation for the slightly off box blur result (it is so small an error that we don't care about it in normal blurring contexts).

If you take a white rectangle covering 0,0 .. 1,1 (the whole view) with black as outer color, blur that 100% using non gaussian blur (box blur), then you can inspect the values and see that they are slightly off the expected result..

That had an impact on the alpha and general brightness when used this way.

Zzz..

Well the only cookies filter that is realistic that I have seen looking for this is the one from Orteil or Totte

You could make a large rendering in high resolution and then cutout the borders to make it square and convert it to seamless outside of filter forge with a software like spiralgraphics Genetica or any of the alternative ways to make seamless texture from a photo

SpaceRay, Mon, 27 May 2013 13:22:10 -0400
Cool, interesting, weird and beautiful artistic effect you have done here, good idea and well done.

Curious effects can be done with selected images, for example here is a Zebra through this filter

1 - The Blobby effect using preset 4
2 - After this is put on a diet using preset 2 :D
3 - Or you can also give a fractal artistic diet using preset 5
4 - This is a curious and also interesting effect using custom settings and reducing iterations to 1

SpaceRay, Mon, 27 May 2013 17:48:46 -0400
Is curious how using a transparent background image versus using the same image with a white background changes the result :) (as it happens also in many other filters) that is not something wrong, just different effect.

SpaceRay, Mon, 27 May 2013 17:57:46 -0400
Although not always is the same as using the the preset 4 or 6 gives nearly the same result, probably because these are using the "invert" checkbox activated.

By the way I like how the filter is possible to simplify much the original source photo in the one with transparent background that has sharp and defined edges VS the white background one that have like some slightly glow edges

SpaceRay, Mon, 27 May 2013 18:03:29 -0400
And this can be good also in some way as a simplifier that could make a complex photo look much different and picking up just the essential shapes and colors

This is using preset 5 and you can see how it looks at the left the original source

SpaceRay, Mon, 27 May 2013 18:07:24 -0400
and the same as the above one here but using preset 2 with some hot volcano lava and like how the result looks

SpaceRay, Mon, 27 May 2013 18:15:58 -0400
And using the fractal like preset 4 and selecting a good photo you could also create in some way a fractal like style when the contrast of the colors are high and the are very different

For example, in this one is a red wall with splattered and cracked peeling white paint (seen a little at left) and you get something like a white fractal over red background

SpaceRay, Mon, 27 May 2013 18:21:24 -0400
And here is another peeling paint texture (seen at the left) and using preset 2 got this unusual organic effect that looks very good and is very different from the original source image

SpaceRay, Mon, 27 May 2013 18:29:22 -0400
and sometimes it looks like the photo is converted to something like a cotton texture

SpaceRay, Mon, 27 May 2013 18:36:32 -0400
And here is a conversion using custom settings to get this nice abstract result

SpaceRay, Mon, 27 May 2013 18:42:21 -0400
or this other custom settings abstract mostly green texture

SpaceRay, Mon, 27 May 2013 18:53:25 -0400
and this Red Gerbera Flower with Black and white background that looks like white cotton with black ink shades

Love the results of this one Skybase.. :)

Skybase, Thu, 30 May 2013 08:28:10 -0400
Fun tip: the structure of this filter is applicable for many different effects using the iterator. Since the structure basically averages numbers you can try different distortions on a per iteration basis. For example: try rotating the image per iteration (super simple). Also try: geometric means. Multiply result with the previous result for every iteration, then replace the divide node with the root node. Set the degree to the number of iterations (try experimenting with different values. It can result in pretty fun stuff.)

Other tips: values for distortions need to be relatively small. The method I'm using doesn't use the position node to create values that equally distribute between each other. (This method honestly is faster as iteration counts go up. It simply doesn't need additional calculations.)

I take it these kinda sound technical... but they're just... simple modifications!

Indigo Ray, Thu, 30 May 2013 11:58:39 -0400
Wow, we independently made almost the same filter. Although mine was by accident. ;)

OH Yes! I understand it all very well, super simple and super easy, ;) :D

BUT really this is easy to understand for skilled, experienced and with good knowledge of filter forge as a lot of you already are and can understand it very easily, but not like me that I still have to learn a lot of FF and is still struggling to get something done.

This remembers me in some way what happens in the Big Bang Theory TV series when Sheldon try to explain things to Penny as they are very easy to understand for him and also for his other physics friends but not for Penny or any other not involved with complex physics.

Or also like when I try to explain something about using Windows to my mother, and for me is something super simple, basic and easy, but not for her that have a basic knowledge of how windows works,

Indigo Ray: haha... darn... I definitely knew about it but I didn't realize the methods were similar! I think as I was experimenting in a similar fashion.... This filter actually derives from the swirly sun texture filter I made also in the same beta thread. Just that I swapped out the noise distortion in favor of the reflection node.

The default preset of this filter is my mind: 88,31,65,80,and 8 (openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and extraversion, respectively), along with Azure as a favorite color.

Simply take the test here to get your own scores.

You can also make up your own minds (high openness, high conscientiousness, low extraversion, low agreeableness, and high neuroticism may be psychopath serial killer!)

Well, you would not want to know, at least my mind , it is a very complex and problematic one and is not like others that are more "standard" ones

Oh yes Crapadilla! Congratulations on Old Parchment becoming the #1 most popular filter on Filter Forge! I remember watching the race between it and AngelBoiii's Wall Distress Section 01 since I first came to the website and have been keeping track ever since. It was an epic battle between two incredible grand master level filters, but I'm happy to see Old Parchment taking the lead now ^_^ I'm also impressed that even with it being at it's current level, you are still always improving it as evident with the update ^_^

I agree with jffe, this is interesting stuff and makes beautifull abstract geometric shapes, this is really showing what the new loop component was made for, well at least one of the many possible uses.

Well done and good idea.

CFandM, Mon, 27 May 2013 14:39:53 -0400
Thanks jffe and SR.. :)

SpaceRay, Mon, 27 May 2013 16:43:31 -0400
Changing the colors to red and black I got this nice result, and think that a idea would be to render many different square results and then joint them together to make a bigger artwork.

For some reason, the download keeps indicating that I must have a newer version of Filter Forge to download this filter. I downloaded and installed the newest (3.014), and it will still not download this filter. The error message keeps coming up that I need the newest. Any idea what's going on? :(

CFandM, Mon, 27 May 2013 10:24:42 -0400
On the page of this filter and most all filters there is a number in the upper left corner of the main image preset...This indicates what version of FF this was made with...This was created with the newest FF4 beta.. :)
Also under the button to download this and all filters there is a note of which FF version you need for that filter.. :)
Thanks for looking thou :D :)

SpaceRay, Mon, 27 May 2013 13:10:23 -0400
WOW!! I love this texture using the sierpinski fractal and make it look like a futuristic geometrical city that looks so good and beautifully done

Great idea and concept and something that makes owning FF worthy.

Although I like much the black and white and many shades of gray and look beautifull, I can suggest that you could make another filter that you could apply colors in layers to each one of the shapes

CFandM, Mon, 27 May 2013 14:42:53 -0400
Thanks SR....Well I could make the color blocks but that would ruin the effect of the greyscale....Looking at the image a different way you can see the city upside down....Or if you render out an image and flip it around you can see another side of the city.. ;) :)

SpaceRay, Mon, 27 May 2013 18:59:47 -0400
I have been using your filter and I now I like it much more, is clever and well done and like how it works, and the only possible negative thing is that you can´t use the size slider as it destroys the squares effect and adds grain.

Quote
CFandM Well I could make the color blocks but that would ruin the effect of the greyscale.

Of course that it would ruin the beautiful and well done grayscale effect and also the upside down city style, and this is why I have suggested to make another different filter and not to modify this one. Sorry if it was not explained well.

CFandM, Wed, 29 May 2013 14:59:40 -0400
I'll play around with a color version to see what I can come up with. :)

SpaceRay, Tue, 25 Sep 2012 14:48:56 -0400
WOW!!! Love and like very much this filter!!! This is a GEM and a jewel :)

It gives a great and beautiful effect and is different to other things, and the little thumbnails is totally misleading

Like much how you have done this and the effects you can get, is very artistic and well done and with good options and setting to customize this

Also like much that you have added different shapes configuration in a easy way and you can have different effects changing the shapes.

Thanks very much for making this and congratulations for the good effect, this is really where FF shines and is worth to have, making things that no other software can make.

By the way I have been already making last week, something that is possibly similar, well is different from this and far, but in some way similar.

The only negative point I can put is that the presets does not show at all the real power and great potential and what this beauty really can do.

For me only the above and this one below are really showing something

Why not show the different shapes, and different sizes and different combinations that are possible?

Well I will not tell you what to do and is only a possible suggestion, but this great and well done is missing the last part of showing what can be done through the presets.

Here is one example of possible preset

SpaceRay, Tue, 25 Sep 2012 15:15:45 -0400
one more

SpaceRay, Tue, 25 Sep 2012 15:18:10 -0400

SpaceRay, Tue, 25 Sep 2012 16:46:29 -0400
8)

SpaceRay, Tue, 25 Sep 2012 16:49:56 -0400
and I like that you can customize and change the shapes and get different results changing the settings and variations

SpaceRay, Tue, 25 Sep 2012 16:53:09 -0400
And reducing the density and repeat you can get some cool abstract designs

Also have rised the brightness to get a more transparency feeling and less saturation of colors

SpaceRay, Tue, 25 Sep 2012 16:57:19 -0400
and now a colorful squares design

SpaceRay, Tue, 25 Sep 2012 17:00:24 -0400
with triangles

SpaceRay, Tue, 25 Sep 2012 17:06:10 -0400
and with a different source photo, also another idea is this with density at the maximum 5 BUT with repeat at only 2 with vale 1 on sides (triangles)

SpaceRay, Tue, 25 Sep 2012 17:08:03 -0400
and sides value 2

Bocote, Wed, 26 Sep 2012 01:41:34 -0400
Glad you are finding it fun and useful SpaceRay. When I submitted it I think I only had 4 or 5 of the presets done and the others were auto added.

I'll post a link to an animation I made using this filter later on.

SpaceRay, Wed, 26 Sep 2012 01:44:57 -0400
And what I like is the complex mix of shapes it makes if you want

For this is important to rise the details sliders to get much more complex design

Here is a enlarged version of the top left part of the above example with triangles (the next up from this) so you can see in more details the complex look

Well you really have made 6 presets yourself because are the ones available on the filter, none of the auto made by the submit wizard will be available when downloading the filter.

And I have suggested to make some new presets because this great and awesome filters deserves much to have some good presets and is easy to do them, and is a pity that this great filter has poor presets.

Above I have put some exaples, but of course this is only a suggestion and you are the one who can decide what to do and if you want or not.

Bocote, Wed, 26 Sep 2012 03:15:46 -0400
I'm comfortable with the presets. I'll let ones imagination take the submission wherever they like; it's a very simple filter with a tremendous amount of easily edited input.

SpaceRay, Fri, 22 Feb 2013 18:41:02 -0500
if the above one is with squares, this one is with triangles

Like very much how the filter is able to mix all the colors and triangles shapes and have the black outlines mixed in that special way, and the beautiful transparencies that is made

SpaceRay, Mon, 27 May 2013 13:27:07 -0400
Here below I have another example made with this great and awesome filter that I like very much how it makes such beautiful results with all these transparencies and shapes drawings

I think that probably now with the new Loops component in FF 4.0 some more things similar and like this one here could be done to make artistic effects nowhere else available than in FF.

SpaceRay, Mon, 27 May 2013 17:16:25 -0400
Here is another example below with the same source image as the one above but more simpler settings

The settings on this filter really give a great amount of variety and can get a lot of different results combining the different settings

SpaceRay, Mon, 27 May 2013 17:22:53 -0400
The two examples I have just put above are abstract so now, here is a gem blocked Zebra with fine detail to see it more realistic in some way using a high repeat size and high density

SpaceRay, Mon, 27 May 2013 17:29:55 -0400
And now the same zebra with more artistic and abstract effect, and using triangles instead of squares

iFredQC Except gold doesn't rust ;)

I agree and is true that gold does not rust as said here and also here too but this is for 100% pure gold.

Did PrincessToxico said that his texture is made of 100% pure gold? ;) :D

If you make a search in Google images for Gold rust there are many images that could be like this texture because probably they are not 100% gold

I mean that maybe there could be alternatives and is not wrong IF:

1 - these gold would be mixed with some kind of iron or any other oxidating metal

2 - or perhaps is 100% gold but the surface of the gold is covered with iron dust that is rusted

3 - or it could be the opposite as this texture is mostly rusted, it could be that is an iron surface that was painted with gold and now the gold has worn out and now is showing the original material below that is rusted

or other possible combinations that could lead to this final result shown by the texture ;) :D

Thanks, this is one I actually made just for a hl2 mod I was making, so there's a lot of weird setting that otherwise don't appear useful. I added some additional customization before I uploaded it though!

Kraellin, Thu, 01 Nov 2007 15:22:29 -0400
looks good. the only thing i dont like about it is the little black dot at the middle.

Qender, Thu, 01 Nov 2007 21:11:36 -0400
Hmm, I think for a while I had a "mortar corner size" option, I guess I should have put that back in for the upload! I'de update it but my trial ran out ("Nooooo!")

Anyway, here's some screenshots of the mod I'm working on that uses a ton of FF textures, mostly the colored plastic tiles one here. Note that the black tiles were just recolored versions of the white ones! You'll also notice one of them has a modified version of angelboiii's DoomPannel 01, which is the best filter ever!

I should add that there are normal maps on the colored plastic tiles that are NOT part of my filter, which considerably improve their look, especially in the third screenshot. Also, the above are a work in progress. and the finished scenes should look considerably less sparse.

Ok, it's been updated so that the corner size is now adjustable, which should allow you to get rid of/increase the black dot in the middle!

Yeah see this stuff alone is pretty neat. :) I really think you've established yourself a useful tool.

Found a bug, the image automatically takes size of default FF preset, i.e 600x600.
Manually load new image (blank) with 4 time dimension of ur images.

The best option for these sets of filters would have been to make it just one instead of three. I mean I'd get the point making three of these separate but I think it'd be nicer to have them in one package since if you update, you only have to submit one :) I like the idea though, kinda specific usage but cool.

Sorry to ask, but for what is this useful ? :?:

SR, check out this wikipedia link that explains about fluorescence microscopy:

Check out the gallery in the link for cool examples of what this filter can do if you feed it the right images.

Thanks for the link, I will see it, so I know what is this about as I have no idea.

Manually load new image (blank) with same dimension as ur images are.
