Make Yourself a Stage 3 Teaser

* Spinning my electric ball of infinite wisdom*
The answer is: 17

I'll go for 10

Or maybe the answer is 42? That would be tricky though

42 new (i.e. never-seen-before) components... that's including the mysterious new 'Smile' component!

Hey Crapadilla,

Welcome back! I have not seen a post from you in quite awhile. I figured you were mad at someone? You are a true master & I, for 1, missed hearing from you! Of course, I might have missed a post here & there, as I still work a full time job... LOL..& don't read em' all.

GOSH, I'm looking forward to retirement!! Sorry,, I got a bit carried away..

Anyway, I second the motion for: "42 new".

Have a good evening.

Ron

it's either 11 or zero.

Stand back, hosers.....I've got this!!! LOL.....

The answer is "1" ..... Fractal Input Component.....fed from FFs' new "FFractal Workshop".....

You can put the FF fruitbasket on my account.....

Hmmm... I'm going for 7:

Comment node
Math node
Improved Offset (by XY)
Directional Blur
Sobel (Find Edges)
Derive Slope of some sort
Simple Scale Rotate

CorvusCroax: Whats the diference between "Directional Blur" and "Motion Blur"??

But Slope and Orientation/Angle would be cool!!!
And im all for Comment node!

To tell ya the truth, I don't care about any of those other things.....Fractals alone would be more than huge.....it would bust the creative ability of this program wide open, IMO.....well, I'll restate that.....if user defined formulas can be inputted.....

So true.....simplifying patterns that currently take multitudes of components to create.....creating "fast" noise patterns without the current slow noise components.....every possible noise pattern under the sun and beyond could be created.....compound patterns.....the possibilities go on and on.....

Vlad previously stated that they were having problems making them tilable.....so I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that they have remedied that problem.....hopefully for any an all types of formula input.....truly making the sky the limit with this program.....

We have indeed found a solution for this problem, but it's different from what you'd expect. You'll see today.

Ah, quite a bit actually. Directional blur (AKA wind blur) is 1 direction only, not 2.

Ahhhh, THAT directional blur!! Im all for this one too! That would be thruly awesome..

I count to 36 new components - woow cool awesome!!
The winner is: angelboiii (first answer)!

think its only 32 (some had changed icons), but I still think angelboiii wins
And yes, logic modules, time to make something really cool now

yep! FF should have popped up an "Update Available" message, so go get it!

Thanks. And no, I am not (and was not) mad at anyone. Rather, I was swamped with work and also took a vacation.

Honestly, I just can't remember when we introduced those

Also, Stage 3 includes unannounced ninja-updates to Assemble HSB, HSY and RGB components -- they have been HDRized.

hmmm.. strange.. the FLASHING RED STYLE does nothing.. go figure.. i was expecting huge vegas style blinking red lightbulbs forming the text "The Filter Forge Seer"..
strange!!

hooooly crap

I've got a lot of learning to do.
This FF update, by far is the most heady of them all. Part of me is sad that so many of the innovative FF1 tricks are no longer needed and will fall by the wayside, but mostly I'm very pleased that I won't have to deal with them!
