Weird.. I guess we both made the same filter, only Quasimondo never submitted it. My idea was triggered by some Atari sounds I once recorded. I'm familiar with Quasimondo's work. I hope I didn't subconciously rip the idea, although I can't remember ever going through his flickr pages.

Because you don't give someone credit for ripping off someone else's idea
Well, I didn't though. If I had known Quasimondo had already done this I wouldn't have submitted it. Or I'd have at least asked his permission or credited him for the idea (he credits me).

I'm a bit unsure what to do with all this.

Interesting enough 3 people all stumbled upon non-euclidean geometry independent of one another roughly within the same time frame. That is HUGE, so it does happen. Sjeiti; EP or not this is an awesome filter!!! Way to keep the library fresh.

Great filter, Sjeiti!

Are we talking about the idea or the actual filter construction here? The 'space invaders' idea is obviously so pop culture that it cannot be attributed to either Sjeiti or Quasimondo. That leaves the filter construction, and unless it is an exact copy of Quasi's filter (quite unlikely!), I think it is clear who the author is.

Also, Sjeiti actually submitted this to the Filter Library, Quasi didn't. How can we compare filters in the Filter Library with those outside of the Filter Library (i.e. those in private libraries)? We can't! So, in my book, for the purpose of rewarding innovation and excellence among the filters of the Filter Library - Quasi's version obviously does not count.

Well, I could of course always still submit it - but feel free to take full credit for yours - I'm sure it's pure coincidence. Though I showed mine already on several conferences in the past years, so for the record I'm probably the first to come up with the idea, I hope you can live with that.

Excellent I'd go even further -- it would be great to convince Quasi to share his version of the filter (he could just post it right here in this thread), so Sjeiti could incorporate its tricks/techniques and credit Quasi for that

http://www.filterforge.com/filters/6685.html - Ha, EP ! Justice is done.

congrats, sjeiti

he's saving them up to buy bella a couch, sjeiti

I know from my own experience that even though you may build a filter first, if you don't submit it to public scrutiny it doesn't really exist. So, though I've had a few "doh, I did that filter a year ago!" moments when I see someone else's work online, I always follow it up with. "well, perhaps you should have posted yours you dope"



Both filters are glorious and everyone should share a big filter forge group hug.
