Bomber+ Offset Clipping

Tell me there is a way to emulate HV Chaos via offset in the Bomber+ chain and then I'll be impressed.

BomberPlusHVChaos.ffxml

Those are two different requests.

HDR Offset for the bomber could, if set up a certain way, result in an infinite number of particles in the render area. Think about it. Use a loop if you want HDR offset (because the loop, by definition, is finite!).

Emulating H/V Chaos was/is already possible with the standard bomber. Plug in noise into Offset H/V (different seeds for each direction, of course). It is still possible with Bomber+ with the same method.

As for emulating it within the slave chain, you can do it, but it's a little trickier. What I did was double the density while halving the repeat, and also scaling the particle down by 50% (in the slave chain, NOT the bomber+ parameter). Then, just use the Offset component with two randomizer slaves.
(in the attached filter I modified the random distribution)

Here's an example of what I want to do with the Bomber+, else 5 seconds for 25 particles with the loop, I don't have that kind of time man!

Bomber Plus Do This.ffxml

Wow I just tried it and it doesn't work???

Okay that's something I think should be made a little clearer. Similar to how HDR inputs are signified with a yellow border, slaves should have one too (HDR one is pretty hard to see though too)

Oh, its early Monday, but, but, but...

Referencing beyond the image bounds HDR is a problem, I see what you mean, but having only a finite set of particles within the image bounds and operating on those, well...

If 0<n<1 then

I'm still voting for 'actual' particles to be larger than their particle bounds AND to be able to be moved around the entire image space.

zzzzzz

The only slave-accepting input in Bomber Plus is Particle. In future releases we'll add some UI aids to indicate that.
