Other Interesting Ideas

Hi Ronjonnie,

I guess that Water Splash filter will never give me peace unless I rebuild it...

In the meanwhile, working on an alternate "Surface" shading system which is made as a Simple filter.

Lights, shadows, reflection are all from gradients, refractions, blast shadows, etc.

Probably some ambient occlusion and highlight flare needed as well. (None of those are implemented yeat)

The input is a simple Blocks noise. No other map inputs yet.

This is very interesting and useful to have so the filter could be faster and better, and like very much the examples you have put and are very well done, specially for the color mapping of the FF built-in images, congratulations!!

That "fake" surface filter doesn't look so fake to me! I'm really wondering how you did the reflections.

The Sierpinski Prism filter was the inspiration for this Bomber Component based fractal image.

Actually I need to incorporate the image quality improvements Sphinx worked out for the Smudge 3D. Then this can be rendered at a much better quality. A few things in the works at the same time...

Seamless Perspective

Concept for seamlessly (horizontally) tiling perspective filters.

Nice 3d. Now get that working with noise.

Very nice.

Is there still hope for this ?

I am asking this as in the end of page 3 is this

Theedee wrote at teh end of page 3 of this thread: Cubic mapping one step closer. Displacement didn't work out yet, but at least got a 3D cube that you can turn about 45 degrees on the y axis (as far left and right as you can still see three sides).

So I wanted to know if this has been possible, or not, and if this has been a personal and private work or would be possible to see more of this.

Thanks

From the X-files.

WOW!! ThreeDee this shredder is really SUPER AWESOME!!!!! and I agree totally with Ronjonnie

I have since long time ago wished to have a shredder filter as the one already available is not very good and gives not a realistic result, BUT this is really excellent and well done.

But is this lost as the X-Files or will be able to have it?

Hello and good morning too

ronjonnie The name of this New Filter, is it going to be; Super Awesome Shredder, Super Shredder, or maybe Shreadder Max, or....?

I know perhaps others names,

Secret Images Destroyer
Secrets Keeper
Privacy Mantainer
Most Realistic virtual Shredder
Image gone into tiny stripes (showing very realistic stripes movements)
Mega Awesome Shredder machine

I'll likely make the filter available, once I have shredded all of the evidence on how I made it.

WOW!! Thanks really very much if you are going to have this gem and lovely filter available as is really well done and realistic and so I understand that you want to erase the evidences of how you made it

just one suggestion, as the FF filter does not need to follow the real and natural gravity forces of real shredder machines, I want to suggest that would be possible to make it available not only downward, but also sidways or upward, or at least, be able to rotate the source image according to the side of the image you want it to be shredded, but as said this is just a suggestion, and if this would involve much more work, and/or make the filter more complex, do not do it.

Hi and Good morning everyone,

That's GREAT news ThreeDee; we are all waiting for this one!
I do hope you can upload it very soon, I predict this as an Editor's Pick, HU Filter tor sure!

Thanks again & have a great weekend!

Ron

Very cool!!

Another wonder ! Love it

BTW, I finally managed to submit the shredder filter.

Cool and weird the Spaghetti waves

Thanks very much for uploading the Awesome and amazing Top Secret filter and good name you have choosen

Glad you reminded me of it. Here's what it looks like now.

With the Fast Cast Shadows method.

The filter is a Simple filter and has been optimized so that it renders fast, some 7.3 secs for the above image on my (fast) laptop.
