I want to give credit, thanks and congratulations to Kochubey for the great Heart shape he has made in his Layers of My Heart filter. Thanks

What about changing the square chips into little arrows ?

Oh yes !! You have seen something I did not. It´s true that all the stars are being clipped at the botton

I have just made some NEW render and see if this happened again and makes the same effect or it was just once. Well it repeats the clipping effect!

And after making some renders and testing what happened, I have found the problem, and is because the original filter have in the beginning small shapes, and when you put a big shape it gets clipped, I have reduced the size of the 24 side star and the problem is gone.

Thanks Morgantao, Please see the details about it in this thread here

Could you put one avatar yourself ?

Here I put my latest test of shape making for this wonderful and lovely filter. I had already square and circles, but no triangles, so here it is

PLEASE, LOOK FOR MANY MORE EXAMPLES OF SHAPE CHANGING IN PAGE 2 HERE

Until now I have used only ONE shape, but as there is 5 bomber components and they act separately, you can ALSO MIX shapes as you can see below

Here I have used 3 shapes, triangular frames, original square one, and arrows

And now I have mixed 5 different shapes: squares, hearts, circles, triangles and stars

As said before, if you like these, there is many more in page 2 of this thread

Using the kingfisher built-in preview with the 5 shapes of the last post above

And this is exactly the same as above in bigger detail close up

By the way the shapes are NOT sharp because I have applied a blur on the borders so this is hy are not looking sharp, of course that you can switch off this blur and have it perfectly sharp.

What is bad and I feel is not good, is that ALL the high usage I have made on this filter is TOTALLY LOST and will not be sent to the FF server because I have made slightly changes to the filter and so is considered a new one and looses the author usage reward

here is another test I have done with other image using the 5 shapes as before

And her is the same circle only image in close up greater detail

I have found a very big problem and one that CAN´T be solved

On page 2 I suggested to add control sliders to the Free rectangle component to be able to control it from OUTSIDE of Filter editor and simply changing the values in the filters setting tab in FF

Well this is true that can be done and it works well, BUT very big problem (at least for me and from my own point of view) is that you DO NOT have a preview of the shape that you are creating modifying the sliders values as it happens very well in the filter editor.

AS you can see here, in the filter editor there is a realtime preview of the shape you are building using the settings from the component



BUT when you close the filter editor and go to the FF library in the normal settings tab there is NO WAY to have a preview of that shape you are building with the sliders.

You can see here below that when changing the sliders setting there is no way to know what is happening UNTIL the preview effect is rendered and you can see what happened



SO I think that the ONLY possible solution is to have FIXED shapes sizes already configured and available to the user because is very difficult to make them yourself from the settings tab if you do not have a preview to make the shapes.

Yes I too think it so, and agree that with 5 FIXED shapes will be enough, but my idea was that you could CHANGE and customize those 5 shapes BUT is very difficult without a preview, and this is ONLY available in the filter editor.

SO I think is better to TAKE OUT the configuration controls I have suggested and only leave the original control and only put new controls for choosing the fixed shapes.

SpaceRay, look in the library, there are several filters that have text or numbers in them. You can look inside them to see how to make the letters from basic shapes.
There are even filters that use a script to create letters.
You may wanna look at Pool Balls by Truman, or Terrain Generator by Orteil.

Hello, thanks for the comment and I am glad you like the examples. You are right this is an awesome filter.

One word of warning, I want to say that you do not get confused, and that ALL the examples on this page are NOT included in the filter. This is a filter that I am developing now and hope to be released soon, although not sure when.
