Crapadilla, you are the man! You may want to consider adding the option to more tightly fit the circles together, Like this:

Well, to be honest, the prospect of 'wowing' Vlad (and possibly the FF team) with something not yet seen on the filter library is always enough incentive for me. After all, we've got to keep them motivated to keep making this tool better and better, despite our constant barrage of FF criticism and ridiculous amounts of nightmare-inducing feature requests! Oh, and I bet Bella still doesn't have a comfy lounge area available, so there you go... one more reason! smile;)

And not to forget all the hordes of texture resellers I'll be making quite happy. Ah! Life is good! smile:D smile:D smile:D

Speaking of 'nightmare-inducing' feature requests... we need true radial pattern components!

smile:devil: smile:devil: smile:devil:

This filter show-cases some of the shortcomings of the spherical-transformation-approach to generating radial patterns:

  • Mortar lines of the tiles diverge from the center outwards. However, they should really run parallel to eachother.
  • Tile bevels becomes smoother and larger the further away from the pattern center they are. Bad! I've corrected this effect slightly inside this filter, but it still leaves much to be desired.
  • Tiles with rounded corners look increasingly stretched the further away from the pattern center they are.

    It might not be that particularly bad in this filter, but it's still a detail that bothers me.

    well the thing you considered ^^ aka RedCap being in your neck too about it smile;)

    Come on Crap, if someone can do it, you must be it! *Tickles*

    Seriously I am now finally to the point im getting the drill with the offset and the gradients, but this IS impossible right? unless you might consider this filter?

    http://www.filterforge.com/filters/5088.html

    at least that's the only thing I can think of getting it close, but then I seem to not be able to use the cicular stones. Or I haven't found a way to combine them...

    Maybe you can? ^^

    Almost anything is possible in FF, it's just a question of how big and slow your filter tree gets. smile;) smile:D

    True... though with the offset alone I am so NOT getting there... cause then it goes wanky with the parts that it needs to make invisible or need to be overlapping.

    So what about the technique used in that filter I mentioned? And if it were possible how would you go try it?

    Trying to learn here smile:D

    This is very cool looking, and definitely a great combining of your filters, but is it really a popular look ? I'm no tile expert ha-ha, but I have never really seen this style in real life before. Is it the must-have thing in like Italy or somewhere ?

    jffe These tiles are all over the place, like in the barrens in WOW.

    I've thought a couple of times I would have liked to make this filter in FF. Now I don't have to smile:) Great stuff as always Dilla.

    ----Oh, so it's really more of a videogame thing than a real life thing ? (That would explain why I haven't got a clue about it then ha-ha.)

    i believe it's actually an old spanish tiles thing, jffe... or maybe italian, but certainly mediteranean (though, it might be a touch different in the real tiles).

    hmmm, then again, it could be brazilian or argentinian or some other south american type, even incan or mayan or aztec if you want to go central american, too. of course, the chinese have been into tiles for a while, too... and then there's... oh well, maybe it's just straight dilla smile:)

    No clue about that, but I'd say it is more of a vintage design.

    I'll be using a more complex (golden spiral) version of this on a texturing project involving an ancient ruined bathhouse... smile:)

    It's really very common, and very lovely. I'm surprised you haven't seen it at all jffe, but I guess you could just live somewhere without lovely cobbled streets. Do a Google search for Fan Paving or Radial Paving.

    Ruined bathhouse sounds awesome.
