The Orange Head

Volumetric perlin noise. Just a proof of concept, but I hope to do more with this.

Made possible by z-perlin, implemented by the FF team in lua script (it's not a component).

Did you do ray-marching with Max blending?

Lava lamp! Good job Indigo

Earth is...large. Not just in size, but also in the complexity of forces that shape it and give it color. There is the familiar blue glow of the atmosphere that fades to red during a sunset. There is wind driving puffy clouds and deadly tempests, dumping rain on forests and jungles but rarely touching the deserts. There is oozing molten rock way down beneath us that slowly slide those jigsaw puzzle pieces we call tectonic plates, which form continents and vast oceans and mammoth mountains. Mountains guide the clouds, and lakes and rivers flow back to the sea (well, usually). It's difficult to imagine how an astronaut in space sees all of this together as a whole, as if it was so simple.

OK, I've learned a little more science than that, but anyway, pretty picture!
I'll try to organize this filter and post it here sometime.

With that Z Perlin, I wonder how long until we are at this level:



Z Perlin in heavy duty loop mode I imagine

Really would be possible to make something like this with this Z perlin?

Would be really good and lovely if it could be possible

WOW!!! WOW!! Thanks really very much for these links you have put about this artist that makes such an amazing, awesome and fantastic fluid ink creations, AND there is a full collection of them in this other websites, please take a look to it and see many more incredible artworks

Alberto Seveso - Collection of Fluid Ink Photography artworks

Also going to each one of the artworks you can see them bigger, and some enlarged parts of them to see the real thing how it looks! And if you want much more you can go to this Alberto Seveso Ink google images search!!!!

And going to burdu976.com gives a preview of all his works variety BUT if you really want to see a GREAT AMOUNT of all his works go to this Alberto Seveso Google Images search and see hundreds of them

Funny, my fluids final exam is tomorrow morning. Just want to say thanks Xirja, those pictures are out of this world! Anyway the FF team has made another script for "multi-octave perlin" (perlin with roughness/detail). The code is more complicated, I can't follow it (yet). I also wonder if doing the loop with LUA instead of the loop component would be possible/faster. Doesn't Betis have a fluid filter? I'm pretty sure FF is not the best program out there to do this stuff, but it is kinda fun.

Just curious, what does that mean in Italian, "the morning has the gold in its mouth"?

SWISH! Like the smudge component, but in all different directions!

Cool effect

I can, therefore I do. Wait, that's not how it went...

[the filter]

Ruled Surface- Hyperboloid.ffxml

Pattern inspired by Cat Paths and a particularly invigorating lecture.
Definitely not from a particular forum member, though.

More fooling around. This is, in spirit at least, a fusion of several existing library filters, and a little calculus and trig. Basically, it swirls one image around the bright and dark areas of a second image. But it does it iteratively, with tiny offsets compounded together.

In this picture, a rough colorful noise gets swirled around an electricity perlin noise. The electricity noise is highlighted so you can see more clearly what's going on.

The more you play around, the better it gets! Unfortunately, because it is iterative, it is either decently fast but rough and jagged, or it is smooth but very slow.

I like the result of your September 21, 2015 8:41 pm post, It has a look of depth and a nice flow.

New Seamless Order!

DELIVERED!

Hint: scripting

Shortcoming: the bottom of the image...

I've since overcame the shortcomings of my seamless landscape perspective and the smudge component (at the cost of speed), but ALAS FF 5!

Let me tell you, even in November, the grass grows very quickly here in [undisclosed address].

Oh!!!
Very beautiful and realistic!

Very cool Adam..

Feel free to use this frequently.

The struggle to achieve seamless tiling was real. I've prepared a snippet that isolates the technique. Check it out if you think you might be able to use it.

That's really cool :o
