Inspirational ideas with images and videos for creating filters in FF

Thanks Ramlyn, glad that you like it

Here is the new full version with 8 size levels, although still not finished, as I had to take away the edges as they were wrong, so I need to fix it

This is using Half size cubes (each fractal cube is half from the previous)

This is not exactly the same as the original design as seen in next post (or previous page end), because the original design is NOT a half cube, it seems to be a proportional 40% and still I am trying to do it as the example below.

I did some test too.

Cool and well done, interesting and good idea. I wonder how you have done it and how it works

My way is slow to render for all the 8 layers I have put, I do not know if it is because I am using loops after layer 4 or because there are 511 squares to be shown in total

The edges are still in work in progress as I need to change them

Here is the filter to show how I have done it

On the Example above I have used a source image from Tile-O-Matic from Rachel Duim

Triangle rotated fractal.ffxml

The above filter I have put of Triangle Rotated fractal after doing a test I think that maybe has a performance problem in the filter as with default FF values

making a simple 2500x2500 of Preset 7 takes 5 hours and 11 minutes

so I think this may be because of using the loops 12 times to position the squares or maybe is another reason, I do not know, I should test to do it without loops.

here is shown below the test

and really there are lots of possible ways to combine triangle string art in different ways

You could combine 3 triangles together and get this

or a different string triangle with 4 tiling in half hexagon

And the triangles in the edges of the square could be done in a recursive way towards inside duplicating the amount of triangles and reducing the size each time

I have thought of Rollstar filter by Ramlyn, and have replaced the included shapes with lines and here is something made with strings although are not triangles, but circles

RollStar made with loops and LINES.ffxml

There is an app on Android about Kaleidoscope tiling with different kind of triangular tiles available. Rachel Duim have already made the Tile-o-matic filter that includes different tiles but it could be done more like in this video

worlds Kaleid app demo

I have found this cool Circle divided with many squares and triangles filled with different colors that are rotating and I know that this surely could be done in FF

As far as I see it it would only need to make the squares in stripes and the triangles in the center stripe, and then apply a polar distortion to make it a circle as for example this but without polar mirroring.

I still do not know if it would be possible to make the rings or stripes inside rotate individually, (as seen in the beginning of the video) have to see if it would be possible someway

And it additionally have the awesome and amazing music of New Order - Blue Monday

Nice. It is a good idea, I think. You should create a filter from it and upload it.

Oh, yes!! this looks really awesome and amazing that you have been able to make so well the strings art idea, I tried myself but only could make one open triangle that looks close to it but not as good and great as you have done it

Congratulations on making it, I will see your filter and test it, thanks really very much for making it and using the idea shown here.

What I got instead right and well is this other example (that can complement what you have done)



(Please go up to the original version that you can see it in full size when click on it)

As this is easier to make as it is just a line rotating in a square using loops with 42 iterations, I will will show the result later when I finish it and send it to the FF Library

here is another example

The above ones are with square blocks of geometric shapes tiled randomly

And there is another interesting idea to make in FF and is is to have geometric shapes that could overlap and use the difference blend mode to create inverted areas and be able to color them as you may want

Each shape would have optionally the line edges in another color if wanted

Here is an example inspiration to show what I mean

Make a chromatic aberration filter with offset that you can manually choose how much you want to separate the RGB channels

Also be able to use bomber with custom chances for letters shapes

Here I have found this image that is made with Swirls that are randomly positioned and the important thing here is that color of each one of the swirl seems to be taken from the source image

And I think that this may be possible in FF in some way

Here is another

And also this kind of letters

And also you could combine the letters with other geometric shapes in the background and make different compositions squares using bomber

Please, to know all about why I put all these letters examples here, read the post explaining it, 5 posts above.

And one more example of the above post here

And here is the last one made totally with geometric shapes

Please go to this post here to start from the beginning of all these geometric letters topic and know what is about.
