Why the faked gray checker background? Just make it transparent. smile:?:

Well, as far as "marketing" goes, I think the lamp might get lost against the default life preserver -- it might not catch the eye as well as when it's isolated, as written. But you're right, I ought to make transparency an option. Instead of the coloured background, maybe? smile:?:

The lifesaver won't show up when you submit the filter.

you can do it three ways, kat. put in your own background, the life preserver or a transparency. just put all three options on a switch with a control.

Good idea, Craig!!! smile:)

Okay, which one of you guys is going to use ThreeDee's "Lathe" to create stone and marble columns/ballistrades??? As demonstrated, you can mod the "Lathe" filter to get exact shapes (I prefer the curve method best smile;) )..... smile:devil:

B'uh...*smacks forehead* Wow, I haven't submitted a filter with a significant alpha channel for a while. I thought the lifesaver would show up as default. Okay. Time to go fix this... ^_^;

I started a stone lathe filter, actually -- free-form like the wooden one -- but it took so bloody long to render, and besides, I got side-tracked by the lava lamp. smile;)

You know, StevieJ, I started the lava lamp filter using curves, but couldn't get the flare at the base quite right, so I just skipped it and went straight to the gradient. Voilà! smile:D

I'm not denying that it looks good!!! smile;) smile:D ..... smile8)

If you ever go back to do further work with it.....try creating the lathe edge profile with just curve work.....then difference blend a single prof grad onto the edges.....it will clear up those longitudinal "striations" and give it a more continuous reflective (plastic/glass) look..... smile8)
