This effect was generated in Filter Forge, a Photoshop plugin that allows you to create your own filters.
Another in my infinte series of stained-glass windows, this filter creates "alien" windows for your Reijunian spaceships, M'w'ah cities, or Piffriti palaces. The user can control glass colour, leading colour, distortion, and hue, sat, and luminosity variation. You can make the glass more or less opaque, either adding an imported image behind the window or not. You can even add a frame and choose the bevel! Heavens – the choices!
Controls of note:
"Pattern Seed 1" and "Pattern Seed 2" are two stages of pattern choice. Patterm Seed 1 selects a bond type for bricks, which is the basis for the colour, saturation, and pattern. Pattern Seed 2 adds kaleidoscope transformations
Note:
"Pattern Complexity" only has an effect if "Pattern Seed 2" is NOT set to 1.
Have fun! =^_
