Shark Tank! by Crapadilla

The depth submerged in water is perfect!!! Excellent work!!!

I can't wait for the day that I'm able to create anything I can envision like you....

You definitely have achieved world.....errr.....filter library domination LOL....

"It's good to be the king" eh???

Sweet its finally here

Love the fitler----> Grapping a copy now~

Beautiful work Crapadilla!!~

Liquidy! OMG, another smash hit from the most antithetical name ever, "Crapadilla". I've gotta apply this to some Second Life pictures and see what transpires.

Rawn, that looks so freaky, like outta some kinda horror freakshow!

It's out! It's out! Happy, happy! *Downloads!* ^_^ Glad to see Shark Tank finally released in it's gone gold glory and it looks absolutely breath taking -- more less literally, ahahaha ^_~! You've outdone yourself on this filter along with Cartography Crapadilla! Outstanding work!

The only thing I could think of adding would be in tank air bubbles (You know, like from stuff drowning) -- well, that or actual sharks, ahahah, although definitely not necessary as doing something like that would be enough to cover it's own filter ^_-

Yup, thought about that, but to this end my experiments with the refraction component have been unsatisfactory so far.

To faithfully reproduce air bubbles underwater you'd actually have to use 2 refraction components, as the ray gets bent twice while passing the water/air and air/water boundaries. The problem is the first refraction where the ray passes from water into air: The refraction component doesn't allow for this case, where a ray passes from a material with a higher IOR to a material with a lower IOR (there is no negative range on the refraction slider).

Maybe this can be faked with offsets though, I'm not sure.

I am sorry to say this, but I have to say this filter is awful. It is too creative, too useful for different applications, too original, to ... well good. You make all my filters look like garbage.

Stop producing so many good filters.

^_^ I'd imagine it stands for Index of Refraction -- accidentally picked that up when I wrote the description about Shoujo Strands (Something about anime girl hair having a refractive index of three billion or something ^_^)... well, that or Irregular Orange Rotisserie, ahaha. Actually, it's pretty remarkable that you consider all that when creating your filters Crapadilla, quite amazing I must say!

Oh yes! Now the fun part:

I should warn you, my internet sarcasm detector malfunctions every now and then.

Did I type anything?

dilla,

wouldnt there be no negative index possible since that would require that light actually speed up again?

ah, ok. you're talking about re-directing. ok. that works for me.

Absolutely fantastic. Definitely an Editor's Pick.
(I wish we could include the screaming face on the preview page )

Good point. Update coming soon...



Edit: Just did a speed comparison on the default preset

Old version (2 Refraction components): 1m 25s
New version (1 Refraction component): 1m 24s

hmmmm...

This is the edited version...

Shark Tank!.ffxml

Congrats Dilla!!!

This might be due to the fact that the large refraction values increase the sample spread, which in turn causes more Blur blocks to be rendered, thus increasing the rendering time.

My new numbers (Dual-Core P4)

Library version: 1m 19s
Vlad's modification*: 1m 23s
Dilla's modification: 1m 25s

* but with Refraction value set to 25 as in the other versions! This is important for the look of the condensation.

Here's the filter:

Shark Tank Seamless.ffxml

I just finished an underwater filter. Before I submitted it I decided to check the FF library to see how redundant it would be. I never check the library in advance because it takes the wind out of my sails. Anyway, that’s when I found your ‘Shark Tank!’ filter. Man is it unbelievable, after just finishing a water filter I am in a position to appreciate how nice it is. It makes mine look awful. I submitted mine anyway but I am sure glad I did not find yours before I started.

Nice job

I just finished mine minutes ago and I feel like a zombie. The amount of concentration these things require is amazing.

I feel quite the opposite about this: It's an incentive to surpass! Wink

Loners and leaders...

The important thing is that I realize that you have set the bar very high and have inspired me to surpass myself.

Alright, we all saw this coming but Shark Tank has reached HU! Yeahh!!!! Congratulations on yet another great filter.

oh my god, crapadilla, this is over the top so simple and yet sooooooo unusually live and warm is there some kind of invisible "emotion" node you are connecting to your filters? just wow

Just a profile gradient and two color controls.
