Dilla Challenge!!! :)

Can he cheat and just use the letter O?

poor Dilla.. what you're asking is comparable to cleaning up after a big party.. not hard and then again..very very hard

Zephos did numbers if Dilla can't do it maybe Zephos could

That is a good place to start!!!

Uber's pipes might be a good place to start too......

I was just thinking that 'type' filters could come in handy for all types of things beyond 'Alphabet Soup'......like signs, buttons, banners, logos, etc.....

I haven't seen Zephos here for quite some time.....

Is FF going to do this??? ......with user type input, different fonts, etc???

I agree with Crapadilla --I could produce this filter as an excersize in FF's current capabilities but BOY what a monster it would be

different colors different shapes different depths lighting and so much more --none of the mechanics are really that great a hurdle

Ive actually got 75 filters that do nothing but create letters, numbers and shapes --example 1 filter just to produce a's another for b's

to combine them all adn do all the random components while not really that difficult would be imensly time consumeing and talk a bout a huge filter --the filter it self would probably have a larger file size then your end photo--can I do this yes but do to slow render times I bet it isnt accepted into the library

If you guys really want I will go ahead and produce an alphabet soup one but Im betting right now you will have to download it from the forum and not the library since its render time will probably SUCK

Especially so if a filter like this was only two components in FF 2.0: a text and a bomber.

Yup.....and hopefully more

What do you guys think of the of text component suggestions that I posted.....

OMG I want bombers NOW.

That would fix a whole BUNCH of my issues. Gah. Want. Now.

folks, there's a fairly simple wayt to do an alphabet filter and it doesnt have to be a complet monster even. if you did a block lettering, it shld be fairly easy. first, import the any angle rotate into your filter. then simply use profile gradients to create not letters, but the legs and curves of letters. take those and rotate with the any angle rotate and combine as needed for the letters.

a B is nothing more than a straight line and two, truncated, masked circles. a C is nothing more than a masked circle. an A is just three rotated lines and so on and so forth. it shldnt be that hard or even that slow.

you simply make the parts and then rotate as needed and combine.

unfortunatly then it dosnt look very alphabet soup or serial looking

even then it will still involve alot of components --I did exaclty that for my alphabets filter but it takes quite a few components sometimes --offsets gradients etc

Wow how to shut down a thread - I'll have to get the filter so I can turn the other cheek

Exactly. Besides, I'd rather do toast or bacon instead!

Or we could scrap all that healthy stuff and go with junkfood.



(I have a filter in progress call 'The Homer'. This is a preview. )

+2 Yeah, glazed doughnuts are my favorite

You could call this one "Police Headquarters"....."Policeman's Ball".....or "Police Feast" LOL....

Oh, now I get it.....I don't watch the simpson's.....but I know plenty of people who mimic the "d'oh!!!" thing...... LOL....

I guess that I'm a little behind in modern pop-culture.....

LOL..... No, I thought "rokily dokily" was from 'Scoobie Doo'.....which is why I responded with "ranks raggy"..... ..... LOL.....

I'm a little slow, but I'm willing to learn..... LOL....

oooo! Spinkels.....

Great looking filter there Mousewrites...
