My first attempt building a filter with loops.



This one from the same filter, just different settings.

Sun texture?

Dilate?

I like that Dilate puffy fish..
You are not alone in posting Skybase Been a little busy and I got stuck in fractal mode still....

Then another one from the same filter....

For example:

Some circles in a loop gives a nice start to patterns..

So... I totally don't need to use the iterator to do this but I did anyway. I just iteratively rotated some noise patterns haha.

Heres the fractal filter I am using for the image above....

Circle Fractal.ffxml

Generating random noise - comparing to the source image - merging parts that match within a threshold.

This Circle Fractal filter by CFandM made me remember about the Bomber Fractal by ThreeDee and using his own collection of shaded shapes can be added to this filter and get complex results

Hello everyone !

I was very busy to built a couple of websites that is why I was a long time out.
If you like 3d animâted screensavers, go and pick up my free stuff : a beautiful Sunset and an underwater scene at : http://3dscreensaver.t15.org and you go to the free download page.

Here my first try with loop component. A sun...

An image of the playing with circles

This one too

Thanks SR !

These 2 filters are not completed, you have just to add controls or what you want. As said, I was playing...I'll try something else today and will share it, even if it is not finished. So you will be free to continue the next filters.

Hello my dear friend !

I missed you too ! Thanks !

Here another try as a button maker... could be useful for web designers

Another button

Hello! Glad to see you! In your case these button designs don't really need a loop component. Basically loop isn't doing anything because its set at the first iteration. The gradient is already being generated so you can effectively remove it out of the loop and have no issues at all.

I recommend adding some more detail work! I think it can use some highlights, shading, and a further hint of embossing, maybe some subtle texture work! Glass effect works very well, very simple to implement in FilterForge, plus you can make it work with any shape. Would make this button designer extremely powerful!

I remember the days when MacOSX featured jelly bean buttons... man they were so cute!

[Edit] Also might be interesting having a parameter to change materials. Like metal and otherwise.

Hi guys !

Yes, I'm back but I still very busy with my babies.

Thanks for the infos Skybase.

YES! I am also glad to see Ghislaine back, the queen of the spirography and good and useful creative ideas.

Now that the Iterator that was requested (when she was making all those awesome spirograph filters she made) is available, what wonderful things could she think of? New spirograph generation? any other cool and great ideas?

Welcome back, even if you are busy, is good to see you here at least some time.

Congratulations and wish you and your babies the best.

and here is with 5 iterations

Another variant. Same principles, different input.

What I mildly get bothered by with this filter is the render time... it's just not at an acceptable speed. I mean to me 1 minute and 30 seconds per 600x600 isn't that great performance. It's probably at it's best but yeah... Hey, the results aren't so bad haha.
