Glasstic Patterns by CFandM

Beautiful effect, CF. Now I shall promptly rip you off, I mean study the mechanics of your filter for my own edification.
Seriously though, very, very nice effect.

reminds me of that vinyl plastic used to make inflatables. but, i can also see 'glass' in there.

great colors, patterns and definition!

Wow... I didn't know at first, but it seems that Glasstic actually is in fact a real life material (And for some unknown reason, a lot of Japanese sites pop up when I search for it on Google). I really like this filter, it makes some very colorful shiny patterns that I could see as being excellent for character concept backgrounds in my illustrations ^_^

with some greens it makes a lovely alien lizard skin And with lots of tweaking there are some great tessellations

Yep a real life material..Its just one of those things that sounds made-up...Oddly enough one real world use is the eyeballs of dolls...Yep the eyeballs of dolls are made of this plastic type material thats known as glasstic..

This is one of many articles about this find
it seems kryptonite is real after all

I guess you can call a Klingon a material...Pronounced Cling-On or velcro..

Yeah I they have expanded the scope of transparent metals recently so there are quite a few now but I still havnt seen any in use in production

the flexible cheap displays are the ones Im worried about
great now when I go to get groceries Every single product is going to be streaming some crazy commercial or add at me
just what I need

I am curious where that will lead
but so many inventions neversee the light of day

this one

has more potential the people realize if one shape can represent 1million different combinations of 0's and 1's then yeah you could compress massive gigabytes of information this way
used as a compression agent you could take 25 gigs and compress it to a few mb
I even emailed the inventor to lay out how to expand the technique and to encourage him to patent it--havnt heard any thing else about it but imagine being able to stream an entire move
25gigs in a few minutes on dial up

volde, yup. we havent even scratched the surface yet on this sort of thing.
