Inspirational ideas with images and videos for creating filters in FF

(If it was addressed to me)
Rachel, as me understand this task (based on image link i quoted above) - speech was about simple rotation of cloned circle by using offset about axis, and with radius changes.
This is a rough explanation, but I don't understand where (for what ?) 70+ components could come from here.
Yes, i can say even did not opens editor in FF, so perhaps just can't understand something. (why need to complicate everything so much, perhaps such the arrangement of the nodes\principle in this program, i dont know).
But again, I logically represent this solution using one primitive (circle), its simple cloning, and one rotation algorithm using snapping to certain axes. Actually - this algorithm is perhaps the most difficult thing that can be in this task. But I suppose this algorithm should look like only one node (component).
So, generally, it's something about 3-4 components.
Perhaps i'm idiot.

I think that maybe there has been a confusion, and maybe Rachel maybe thought that it was in reference to her filter ( 74 components) and I think that did not understand that it was related to what you asked of the almond curved lines and not in reference to the Sierpinski that she made, and maybe is because you only showed a link and not the image in the post

I have to say that I have tried to do it, but I have seen that I do not know how to make thin curved lines in FF that could be similar to the example (or examples) you have shown, I thought it would be easy, but for me is not, from what I have seen, It could be done maybe to replicate the drawing but there would not be any setting to modify it

I have tried to find if there is anything similar in FF library but there is not, the only one by ThreeDee that is variable is made with scripting and I do not know nothing about scripting, sorry

Here is the second part

Well yes I have the same feeling. Confusion likely.

This.
I think the key to making will actually placed here.
Although, it's a pity if there are no ready-made basic nodes (functions) of the binding / distribution. If so, this is really strange, for such a seemingly powerful program.

Ooops. So sorry, i did misunderstand. I apologize.

I looked at the image. It is all circles, the almond shapes are created from 2 circles with centers on the edge of the main circle.

Having said that, I will put together a quick prototype of groups of circles and see if I get anywhere and report back.

UPDATE: Just did a couple of levels to see if this is what you had in mind.

Here is further progress. Tried to do thicker lines on outside, thin on inside. What do you think? After this I'm moving the circles over to Chaos Fields... this place is for new ideas, development (yay) begins.

It is both. In a sense to start you have to manually place the first circle. There is some recursion. Take a look over in Chaos Fields to watch my progress. I am probably going to re-write it now that I understand the structure a little better. The main idea is create something that looks "correct". This is not your typical linear type of c/c++/c# kind of thinking, so sometimes "static" objects are faster than trying to program it in FF. Blah, blah, blah, yes it is possible.

Love how you have been to find a way to do it, sorry that I could not be able to guess and find out it was made with circles and not curved lines, is really incredible that you made it even better

Is amazing how you have been able to replicate and make an even better and more detailed version of the example I have put, I did not know that this could be done using just circles, great and well done

Please, could you be so kind to upload the filter as it is without any further modifications?

I would love to see how you have been able to create it, even if this is just a still image and possibly not customizable.

Thanks very much for making it and congratulations

Better shown

Even more amount with more shapes

And could combine them with different color backgrounds

And now after the above 7 posts I have something that I still do not know how to make but think that maybe should be possible in FF and is this big circles rings compositions filled with colors and with white edges made by the artist Sarah Morris as shown here in this link

And in color

Thanks, glad you like it, and I am working on it, but not in a procedural way, using already created previously shapes

If you go to the behance link, you will see that this was done by the artist using Houdini software that is a procedural self generated software that works from coding and algorythms, so it seems that what you suggests is exactly how it was originally created by the author. Although I know about Houdini, I have never used it myself

It would be really cool and interesting to self generate shapes in FF by scripting

I also I am testing to make outline fonts filled with colors inside FF similar in some way to these ones here

Well ok thanks, will be interesting to see what happens anyway.

Oh damn, Houdini, heard about it, but i definitely pass, 3dmax only. But good to know.

Yes exactly. BTW, what kind of scripting used in ff ? (There is good manual for this language ?)

here is another inspiration I have found called Matchstick by Melody Johnson

here is the artist reference

I have found this image that shows an artist that makes spirograph art and I think that maybe this could be done in FF in some way as you can use bomber to fill the shapes of a source image as for example in Armored picture by Ramlyn

What I do not know yet is how to make bomber plus randomizer make lots of different spirograph variations but can try

And another one made in a circle shape

With zoom to see more detail of this 16 triangles

And zoom closer of 32 triangles

And distorted Sierpinski triangles made to link together

And a triangle filled with fractal circles
