just some odd images here and there

cool

i broke a number of my own 'rules' to get this one

I really like the one that you broke a number of your rules on.....proving that rules are meant to be broken.....

.....and users seem to like "mad experimentations".....and it gives me ideas as well.....

Well, I'm proud to say that I've "borrowed" only two concepts from other author victims.....you were the first one with a part of "Glass Menagerie".....and CF was the second with part of his "Mystic Blur" filter used in my "DreamScape" series.....other than that, I'm innocent I tell you!!! LOL.....

.....or it was Carl!!! LOL.....

mmmmm LOL

its often lazyness [ time ] using snippets [ about 20% of my filters use snippets ] - I'd rather focus on the idea I'm working on - for example using a modified version of Dilla's scratches snippet saved me a couple of hours of fiddling allowing the time to be used to perfect " 12 Grunge FX " effects - you bastard, you made me defend myself


or


Snippet sole purpose in life is to be included - so I'm doing them a favour



or




I'm to thick to work out some of the clever snippets and I admirer uuk the way he can steal total filters get HU's and sleep at night - my next filter is "Rainbow Glass Monster Waterfalls"



or




Stop picking on me you bastards or I'm telling

hehe

and this is another...

There is something about that second one, could be base for several direction, interesting to see where you take it 3rd could be a nioce water wave thingy

hadnt thought about water waves much, but yes. there's also some similar to that that are definitely glassine.

Glass curtain with metallic embossings.....

#7

I like that rock one

LOL..... Dilla really hates the use of kaleidoscope, eh???

LOL.... Looks like you are getting pretty close to a naturalized use of it in your last sample....

Dilla will track you down, run, run now

ok, i had said i was re-visiting the waterfalls filter. well, here is the madness behind the master plan. you know i submitted the 'perfect arc' filter and that that led to the 'rainbow' filter, but what you may not have known was that all of that was inspired by the waterfall filter. i wanted to add a rainbow to it. when looking at the rainbow filters in the library, none really did the trick. so, i began doing one myself, but i couldnt get a good arc by conventional methods and i couldnt alter that arc and that led to the perfect arc filter. so, coming full circle here, i've now got my rainbow in the waterfall filter and i've added one of my rock filters for the background

now, this still isnt totally finished. i'm still debating surface or simple. i would LOVE to get the rock part as a surface for the depth and grain possible there, but doing that tends to mess up the water parts of this filter. i've made all sorts of adjustments to try to do that but it just isnt very workable, which is why i kept asking vlad to make us a depth component like in the results component. but, he seems to not like that idea because of the lighting environments. so, oh well, back to the drawing board.

when i make this a surface type, i pretty much lose all the depth to the rock because i have to tone things down drastically with that so as not to screw up the water. so, there's actually very little depth at all on this and i may have to just turn it back into a simple and lose the lighting stuff. not sure yet.

anyways, here's the most recent version image:

It add a nice touch the rainbow

could you use a threshold and use it as a mask to feed into the height to only give the rock texture

No, I like the waterfall and the addition of the rainbow.....but I was just thinking that you could use the rainbow concept seperately from the waterfall.....

steve, have you seen this filter? http://www.filterforge.com/filters/5080.html .

thanks, carl you wouldnt believe how many iterations of that 'splash' there are. finally settled on that one.

I like the design and prof grad effects in it.....

Yeah, it reminded me of glass possibilities as well.....
