Suggest a new filter.

BLOOD CELLS!

That is really cool!!! You could add some translucency and flourescence like in Vlad's "Bacteria".....oh, and you could also add hairs/feelers/legs around the outside with different transparent bodies to create single-celled micro-organisms floating around under a microscope.....

That definitely looks "achievable" in FF.....thinking of Uber's un-submitted "Stones" filter.....

is this last one genetica also, or FF?

Wow,they certainly are!!!
The blood cells are fantastic
I see so many possibilities in that one alone, the lighting and the depth you captured in that... no way will I ever come close to discovering how to do that in FF. I'm glad you are sharing these with us, Dilla... yes, very inspiring, even if all I can do is drool over them, hehe.

You are the FF Master (next to Vlad, of course)

Oh... ok. Thanks for the link and the correction

Oooh... planets. I'll never get any work done if I keep reading posts like this . Still have to find a way to create the perfect spherical texture map.

I meant more like this. Already put up a
request (fingers crossed).

Spherical mapping is rather easy to do in FF - Isn't Sjeiti talking about rendering a texture in "reverse spherical mapping" mode so that it maps correctly on a sphere later on?

Oh is that reverse?.. then I believe so too.

It's software rendering. I've tried the mapping here with this filter. I couldn't figure out a good way of creating a filter for this without getting a vertical seam.

You cant see it here. I faked it by using multiple noises and blending them. High-scale noises at the poles, and lower scales near the equator. If you just take one perlin noise and apply an offset to make it equirectangular it will break the seamlessness.
(maybe it's better to continue this discussion in a different thread, this is getting a bit ot)

How abut a spaceship hull filter?

My idea isn't one I'd myself probably use too much, but there's been some recent discussion about using text/type in FF...

My suggestion here, is to have filters be made intentionally for being used for text/type effects, where the intent would be that the user creates some text (in e.g. Photoshop) and selects that text-area before trying to apply the filter. (And then, here the filter may use the Selection component...)

Off the top of my head, perhaps some text/type filters could be for:
Make the letters look like they had dripping paint.
Make the letters look like they were smoke rings/fumes.
Make the letters look like they had some alien/ghost kind of glow/motion blur(s).
Make the bottom of the letters look more grungy/bloody than the top.
Etc...


Some of FF library's filters are probably already good for stuff like this, but I don't think too many filters were expressly meant for such purposes yet (so there might be something more interesting to explore here?).

Long staggered wooden planks, with rivets at corners, like those found on old decks, ships and piers.

I haven't seen that particular combination yet. (and I just went through every single filter here, took about 2.5 hours)

oohoo, wonderful!!!
I managed to pull something together too, after beating my head for couple days now somthing finally sunk in. I didn't submit it, I never think they're good enough.
I like the grout on yours a whole lot!
Patially based on angelboii's wooden planks.

Am I going crasy or have I not seen any herringbone laid brick?
(I suspect former is more likely)

Edit: Never mind, I found it!

Hmm, not that Crapa couldn't make a filter that looked that good, but it just doesn't quite look like FF, and it's not X by X square. The color separation is too good, and the lighting isn't FF looking. $5 says it's not an FF filter, and it need not be submitted to prove it if it is, a blurred out screen shot of it in editor mode would suffice.
