Ramlyn has already made this filter The Gear Paper by Ramlyn

Well, I may have an idea to make Steampunk Backgrounds made with all these hundreds of different cogwheels in FF using bomber+ to make randomly created and have lots of different variations Here are some possible examples I have found I think that this one here with the white outline edges looks very cool and nice done and with some shadows to separate the different cogwheels  |

Here is another one that is very complex one with really high amount of cogwheels of different shapes and sizes
 |

This example below here is double size bigger than the one above with much more detail
And the beauty of Filter forge is that you can change the variations and get another totally different combination as shown here below And could also optionally change the colors if wanted I think that to be able to get this well done distribution with little overlapping would be needed to use the Many circles by Rachel Duim  |

|
And another excellent and beautiful thing FF can do very well is to Position the objects in shape based things like this one for example
 |

|
or have Half of the background filled instead of fully
 |
|||||
| Posted: August 4, 2021 2:10 pm | ||||||
|
SpaceRay
|
and it could be artistic created background wheels with rusty overlay
 |
|||||

SpaceRay
|
Another thing that Filter Forge is able to do easily and well is to give different colors to the objects randomly situated so the cogwheels can be different tones to simulate different metals like copper, silver or gold
 |
|||||

SpaceRay
|
but can also have multiple plain colors applied to the cogwheells
 |
|||||
| Posted: August 4, 2021 2:17 pm | ||||||
|
SpaceRay
|
The color could be also as a tint overlay used as a band over the original one
Horizontal  |
|||||
| Posted: August 4, 2021 2:19 pm | ||||||
|
SpaceRay
|
vertical stripe
 |
|||||
| Posted: August 4, 2021 2:20 pm | ||||||
|
SpaceRay
|
or use multiple color stripes over the same source background
 |
|||||
| Posted: August 4, 2021 2:21 pm | ||||||
|
SpaceRay
|
And as said before it does not need to fill all the background as FF allows to do it
 |
|||||
| Posted: August 4, 2021 2:23 pm | ||||||
|
SpaceRay
|
Or have them only on the edges as possible frames
 |
|||||

below
 |
|||||
| Posted: August 4, 2021 2:26 pm | ||||||
|
SpaceRay
|
both of them
 |
|||||
| Posted: August 4, 2021 2:27 pm | ||||||
|
SpaceRay
|
one side
 |
|||||
| Posted: August 4, 2021 2:28 pm | ||||||
|
SpaceRay
|
in one side BUT NOT filling all the side and leaving the top free and the cogwheels fully inside without cropping
 |
|||||
| Posted: August 4, 2021 2:30 pm | ||||||
|
SpaceRay
|
with gradient glow tint and a floor below to simulate that the cogwheels are attached to a wall
 |
|||||
| Posted: August 4, 2021 2:32 pm | ||||||
|
SpaceRay
|
also the distribution of the cogwheels could be more simple with simple individual ones
 |
|||||
| Posted: August 4, 2021 2:35 pm | ||||||
|
SpaceRay
|
Or filling a selected shape
 |
|||||
| Posted: August 4, 2021 2:36 pm | ||||||
|
SpaceRay
|
another version of the map above more complex
 |
|||||
| Posted: August 4, 2021 2:37 pm | ||||||
|
SpaceRay
|
or other shapes with different color cogwheels
 |
|||||
| Posted: August 4, 2021 2:39 pm | ||||||
|
SpaceRay
|
Something similar to the first one
 |
|||||
| Posted: August 4, 2021 2:41 pm | ||||||
|
SpaceRay
|
dark mood with different cogwheels distribution that is the beauty of FF
 |
|||||
| Posted: August 4, 2021 2:42 pm | ||||||
|
SpaceRay
|
another one in golden style
 |
|||||
| Posted: August 4, 2021 2:43 pm | ||||||
|
SpaceRay
|
and the above ones could have also a metallic frame over the cogwheels
 |
|||||
| Posted: August 4, 2021 2:48 pm | ||||||
|
SpaceRay
|
or the frame could be around the edges
 |
|||||
| Posted: August 4, 2021 2:49 pm | ||||||
|
SpaceRay
|
or like this in a banner
 |
|||||
| Posted: August 4, 2021 2:51 pm | ||||||
|
SpaceRay
|
also could be added text to the edges to the cogwheels
 |
|||||
| Posted: August 4, 2021 2:53 pm | ||||||
|
SpaceRay
|
another thing that FF is able to do well and very easy is the Kaleidoscope effect
 |
|||||
| Posted: August 4, 2021 2:55 pm | ||||||
|
SpaceRay
|
What is NOT FF 10.0 ABLE TO DO is to do NON OVERLAPPING cogwheels distribution as it has been tried by many expert FF users and it was not possible to be done
 |
|||||
| Posted: August 4, 2021 2:58 pm | ||||||
|
SpaceRay
|
Here is a frame surrounded by cogwheels
 |
|||||
| Posted: August 4, 2021 3:05 pm | ||||||
|
SpaceRay
|
another artistic cogwheels textured background
 |
|||||
| Posted: August 4, 2021 3:06 pm | ||||||
|
SpaceRay
|
another examples of the above one using text
 |
|||||
| Posted: August 4, 2021 3:10 pm | ||||||
|
SpaceRay
|
another artistic art using cogwheels
 |
|||||
| Posted: August 4, 2021 3:11 pm | ||||||
|
SpaceRay
|
All the above ones are as far as I see it using 2D cogwheels with some kind of shadows or some using PBR light to simulate that they may be 3D but they are not, just the illusion of the 3D as it happens in FF with the surface filters
Here is another example of the colorful plain colors  |
|||||
| Posted: August 4, 2021 3:15 pm | ||||||
|
SpaceRay
|
And an even more complex combination of colorful cogwheels in great style
 |
|||||
| Posted: August 4, 2021 5:31 pm | ||||||
|
SpaceRay
|
the ones above are using plain colors but thanks to FF it could be also added some color textures to the cogwheels and make them like these ones
 |
|||||
| Posted: August 4, 2021 5:35 pm | ||||||
|
SpaceRay
|
and some other similar ones
 |
|||||
| Posted: August 4, 2021 5:46 pm | ||||||
|
SpaceRay
|
and some colorful cogwheels gears along a diagonal path
 |
|||||
| Posted: August 4, 2021 5:47 pm | ||||||
|
SpaceRay
|
or vertical
 |
|||||
| Posted: August 4, 2021 5:49 pm | ||||||
|
SpaceRay
|
Now after colorful, go to monochrome with a big cogwhell gear filled with other many smaller gears inside to simulate a clock
 |
|||||
| Posted: August 4, 2021 5:57 pm | ||||||
|
SpaceRay
|
and more monochrome totally flatten composition
 |
|||||
| Posted: August 4, 2021 6:01 pm | ||||||
|
SpaceRay
|
and one complex composition nearly monochrome
 |
|||||
| Posted: August 4, 2021 6:08 pm | ||||||
|
SpaceRay
|
As said FF would let you add colors to gears in different ways as in this artistic head
