just some odd images here and there

......especially liking where the second to last one is going.....

I see you've been playing with channels and blends.....let me guess on the last one.....HSB with lighten blend on the original......or inverse color burn???

hi steve

well, channels yes, but no hsb. it's actually a nested channels, meaning using two different channel extracts and assembles. it gives me rgb control and light and saturation control, all re-mapped down not to get too wild and then some sharpness or blur if you want. fun little filter.

Sounds and looks like an effect generator......

well, the true hdri's are produced with bracketed shots on a camera and then processed in a certain way with an hdri program or feature in a program. however, there is a way to simulate is, somewhat, with just a single shot. it's rarely quite as good, but can enhance to near hdri quality. that's what i was trying to duplicate. those last two renditions were wild extremes of un-restricted component mapping

and no, no more monsters the current one still needs a ton of work.

and a teaser only because i'm waiting for the new Eula before submitting any more filters, texture or otherwise.

some of these from the new 'hellifiknow' remind me of old, dirty prints in need of a cleaning. i may pull the filter in that direction more.

#8

ok, one for steve. just a touch of glass here.

this one has a few good presets but otherwise pretty wild yet. this is one of the better ones.

#10

thanks, carl

you like 6? that's my least favorite, i suppose, though it does have some qualities i like. perhaps i'll split that filter off and work on the #6 look a bit more, since you like it. perhaps you can coach me, and it

thanks, steve! and yes, 9 is definitely one i'll be pursueing. it's got a definite thick paint look that i've been trying to achieve for a while. plus, i sort of like the faded paint look there.

i've been resurrecting quite a few of my old, unfinished filters lately. this last set have all been a result of that.

lol. yeah, i never know when to drop the 'e'

Hey great depth

missed that one, what it do in respect to the image you posted

vlad's original had six components including the result component. this one had 30. so, there's been some significant alterations

i like the way this one renders, also. it's clean and the results of randomization produce a pretty good render each time.

#5

no one likes my patterns? bah! you've all been corrupted by the evil, kaleidoscope-hating dilla!

therefore, i shall torture you with another!

#7

you are the one person who needs no excuses

and glad you like them

these really are quite fun. i've already got nearly 200 as presets

#8

and another done with the yellow flower. this one is really quite intricate.

#10

i presume you mean the #9, being the first using the flower pic. and yes, various noises, gradients and so on, all play a part in these. i like the intricacy yet clean look of these. i probably shld have posted a larger size so you could see more of the depth, as well.

and no, no more real monsters, i think. more of a backlog of creative output

hi carl welcome home

#9 ay? yeah, i like 9 too.

ok. i'm partial to #6 and 10, myself; 6 because of the optical illusion effect and 10 because of the clarity of the intracacy, though 9 does that too, which is somewhat hard to see here due to image size. and yeah, i thought about putting in a weave to some of these, but decided against it because of the 3d nature of most of these. if you take #8 into photoshop and zoom in, you'll see that it does have more of a 3d look that cant easily be seen here in the forums.

from ronvier's 'faded glory' filter:

LOL what the female body builder who took way too many steriods - brutally cool
The jessica one is lovely and much better filter than I was fiddling with so it in the bin - did you do something to it or is it just Rons

thanks, carl no, i think it was pretty much ron's filter alone, iirc.

and thanks, steve ah, hadnt even thought of the thing

ya know, i'm thinking i picked a really good test picture with her. that black background makes adding in other effects really easy. i'll bet the same filter applied to another color backgrounded image wouldnt work nearly as well.

Oooooo!!! I really like that one.....must be the colors.....

hehe, a page right out of your own book, steve

carl, it's a surface type. the waves/ripples werent intended. they are a result of the color shades and can, in most cases, be smoothed out if unwanted. and as i said, in most cases. some of the selector types use noise gradients and you can only truly control one color in those. so, some will be a bit tricky to smooth down. the height control will help.

i made this a surface type because i wanted to be able to use custom environments with this.
