Nice one!!! I see that you got the concentric arcs worked out.....

Cool, another simple idea that got overlooked for a long time huh. I bet this one goes HU in no time with 8,000,000 bucktoothed grandkids inserted standing under the rainbow eh.

lol, jffe. thanks

and thanks, carl

ok, the update is up now.

ah, good suggestions. dont know about the diffuse, fading ends. i can see the need but not the way to do it right off hand. maybe a prof grad or two with an impulse curve. good idea, though.

i'll have to have a look at your particle diffuser.

yeah, i debated the left right control. i left it in on purpose for a few odd applications. on randomizing it can be a pain, but i tend to grant that users are smarter than some give them credit for and can figure out things like this themselves.

solid backgrounds is ok, but hardly necessary given photoshop layers. in fact, i believe it better to leave it transparent so that one can quickly change backgrounds in photoshop without having to re-render in FF. so, probably wont add that one, though, probably wouldnt hurt either.

and no, i wont break it up into two filters. you can simply turn down the opacity for the semi-solids and turn it up for solids. to do two filters just to separate those out would diffuse use on both.

the distortion control you're mostly right about. dont see a need that often for soemthing like that in a rainbow. i put it there for high refractive looks, like in my waterfall filter, where water or other media would affect the light transmission. granted, it's not very realisitic as is, so i might take that one out or modify it, or maybe just put some re-mapping on it to limit it more. i'll definitely look at it again, though.

thanks, steve. comments like this are always helpful!

yes sir, right away, sir, kiss my a**, sir

ok, i've just revised this again, though not submitted yet. i stripped out all the previous masking. it's not needed with the added any angle rotate and zooom. i've also stripped out some other redundancies and streamlined the entire thing. AND, i've added fading ends and control of the length of the overall! the only limit with the fading ends is that both ends have to fade out and not just one or the other, but that might be do-able also. i am leaving the distortion in. it's aleady re-mapped to keep it from going nuts, but i do find it useful, especially for reflections and such. so, that stays. but, i did take out the left-right control. easy enough to add back later if needed and didnt really seem necessary here. i also renamed a number of controls for better understanding.

let me try it as a .png here...

ok, just re-submitted to the library

good improvement to control angle, excellent filter this will go Hu quick

here we go. i cut the diffuser down quite a bit, steve, mostly for speed and because some of the effects had very little impact on the rainbow. so, i just simplified it a bit. worked pretty well, though

thanks, carl

this more what you had in mind, steve?

it has a little blur on it, though, yes, the particle count was set high.

and re the direction, i'm sidelining the whole thing for now due to other factors going on right now. why dont you pick it up and have a go at it?

Wow, I really like the clouds & rainbow picture. Totally awesome.

One small suggestion on that; perhaps setting it to 'overlay' or 'screen' would give the 'light bouncing' look, rather than the painted rainbow look.

Gonna make me beg, eh??? LOL....

PS..... Your filter is scripting out and won't let me download for some reason....

Right click on the link and select "save target as" ("save link as" in firefox).Then double-click the saved file and it should automatically be copied to your FF library.
