Slider for multi blend

What I am after is to be able to use a multi-blend with a normal slider. So by using the slider it moves through the different layers [ the same as the single blend component where you add a slider ]. Tried just changing the interslider in the script to a slider, didn't think it would be that simple LOL ...... but surely this is something simple to change? Any help appreciated

no ..... how dare you even suggest it

Very cleverly worked out, I had been stuffing around with a series of blends for a while now and nothing worked, not even close Don't know how you managed to think it out but certainly glad you did.

Thankyou Betis, this opens up lots of possibilities

I'm sorry, but can you explain to me what exactly are you trying to achieve?
I didn't really understand your question on the first post, and the 2 snippets didn't make it any cleasrer to me

Oh, and please try not to use too many big words

lol its preeeetyyy simple.

What you see here is a blend between multiple images accessed via 1 slider. Unlike the typical blend component which accepts
only 2 images at a time, this blend allows to blend through multiple images at a time. The key is to be able to access all those images while blending each one at a time, through 1 slider instead of using multiple.

Betis' example's pretty perplexing. hehe

There's been really no way to do this by default in FilterForge alone.

individual blends with mode slider....

I dunno if depth is any better label than blendywoos. I suppose if you think of multiblend as being a stack of layers on top of each other then it could kind of be the depth.

It's more like 'serial opacity', as the first seventh of the slide is the opacity of the first layer, then the second seventh is the opacity of the second layer, etc..

I still think blendywoos is the best name for it.

I just remembered this thread. I wanted a slider controlled multiblend for ages aswell. Now with the new group features I decided to make one and thought I add it here in case someone wants it. There are actually 2 groups.

The first one is simply a multiblend where you can turn on the layers one after the other and control opacity individually. The second one additionally has blendmodes.

Shar ... I have a bit of a question .... I have always wanted a true multiblend and really appreciate your contribution ... I cannot check it out because I don't do beta .... But what I was wondering is, does combining blends together slow the whole filter down? I use lots of blends in my filters and I have found that at a certain point the filters starts to slow down in rendering ... Please forgive me for hating slow filters and I love your Dab and Swattle (I spelled that wrong) filter but I have only used it a couple of time because I'm old and I fear I will die before it renders ... Sorry that is poor humor .... It seems to me that it would better if FF came up with a good multi blend node. I may be missing something with the new FF4 features, but I have trouble understanding how grouping a bunch of nodes cannot lead to poor overall performance .... Sorry for what might be a very dumb question ...

Sounds interesting will have to try it when i can install the beta 4

Carl, the one above your post is a 3.0 version. so if you still can´t install the beta you can try that one out. It´s the same, just not so conveniently packed in a group
