Here's a somewhat simplified version of this method (tiles to circular gradient)....

BEAUTIFUL! I just submitted an update using that. How could I have forgotten about that considering my fiasco (http://www.filterforge.com/filters/518.html) with that earlier 
Also uber, thanks a million for that hexagon. I can't wait to check out what else you've got up your sleeve. |

I just found this trick in 'Radial Blur'. I used it to update my orb filter but did not realize it was a snippet so I didn't give credit - sorry uberzev. There is really no way to give you enough credit. Thanks for the snippet KGtheway2B. How do I look? You look ready... [Kill Bill] |

there's almost always more than one way to do things... this one uses my own routine for making circles and then borrows a bit from uber's to make it more spherical (depth) and the gradient is adjustable and invertable. i call it 'Sphere - fuzzy'.
by the way, nice job 
oh, and the title is a bit mis-leading... you do use a frame in yours.  Ya can't sell art to artists!

'sphere - fuzzy' isnt submitted, but you can see the base routine in 'perfect arc'. Ya can't sell art to artists!

I like plugging the circular arc curve into the profile of the tiles component, like this one has, but uberzev's uses a linear curve.
I just updated Angel Balls and the reflections were much prettier with the circular arc.
Ok, I will check it out. Thanks. How do I look? You look ready... [Kill Bill] |

Here is what I use quite a bit. I don't think it's very accurate but it sometimes it makes thing prettier than the accurate one. sp.ffxml How do I look? You look ready... [Kill Bill] |

I also like it because it give me that large curved surface that extends past the edges. I notice yours has that too. How do I look? You look ready... [Kill Bill] |

| KGtheway2B | The frame is for comparisons sake, or are you referring to the tiles component? | |||
