This program is literally aching for the addition of fractals, IMHO..... Would manual formula input be pushing it??? smile;)

yeah, fractals would be sweet smile:)

there is still a stage 3 to come out yet on the beta. any guesses what's going to be in it?

If wishes were horses... there'd be a whole lot of horse crap to clean up!

A stage 3? Sweet!

I'm going to wish for an L-System component.

It would be similar to the Bomber, in that it would take a bunch of different maps as 'particles' but instead of a grid guiding the bombing, symbols in the L-system rule would correspond to the different particles to use for a stroke.

Inputs:
- stroke maps * 5
- L-system axiom
- L-system rules * 5
- stroke length/width/opacity/chaos
- turn angle/chaos

Armed with something like that you could synthesise some really nice ferns, bushes, trees, and all sorts of trippy patterns.

That's not my guess for Stage 3, that's just a wish smile:-)

If you're interested in L-Systems, I highly recommend the book 'The Algorithmic Beauty of Plants".

Surprisingly, the last update had some "unnanounced" hints on what may be coming next. If you haven't seen it, you should check it out. I had tears streaming down my eyes because every problem I had in FilterForge were gone.
