Ideas for green Components

Ideas for green Components...

a) REPEAT/EDIT: Sometimes I have the need of repeating a whole subtree but with some different values in some controls. So, here goes a new Component suggestion:

• How would It looks like?
The green 'Repeat/Edit' component would have thumbnail, an output, one green 'Input' called 'Subtree' and one* gray 'Input' called 'Edit 1'*.

• What does it sand for?
You would repeat any subtree without needing to repeat all components and with the advantage of getting to exchange some controls values.

• How It works?
Let's suppose you need to use 2 identical subtrees but with some different values in some controls. So, you would connect your subtree into the green 'Repeat/Edit' component through the 'Subtree' green input. Now let's suppose you want that the repeated subtree has a different color**, than you get the output in the Color Control from the original subtree and connect It too into the gray 'Edit 1'*. Now you would edit this Control with a new value. The 'Repeat/Edit' thumbnail will show the modifications and the output will be as the thumbnail. Something like that.

* These would have more than one.
** Any Control would be edited.

b) (Coming soon).

Thanks FF team.

b) Tiles Component (update): I'm not sure if it is possible, but FF team would make a "little" update in Tiles Component. It would have an option to act as Hexagonal. I mean, In the Tiles Component if you make corners 100 / repeat 3 and look at the vertical spaces between circles and horizontal spaces, they are different from each other. They don't have the same distances. Look into Uber filter to see how hexagonal superpose the lines.

Lucato, the Combine for curves you suggested above is impossible to implement -- it treats curves as 2D images, but curves aren't images, curves are function graphs, and you can't have a butterfly-shaped function graph.

As for Add/Subtract for Map components, we'll be adding them (and some more) in the next or a subsequent update.

I see, as I'm a lay in the subject, for me they were just planar images. Actually I was trying to use those combinations to get a final image like using 'Curves to shape' by Quasimondo. It will be great to have as a green component (Map Components) in the next version or subsequent as you've mentioned. Thanks. My votes to be on next.

Thanks for the info.

d) Lighting: It would be very cool if we could have a Lighting green component as the lighting tab where we would control things trhough slider even the orientation. Besides that we would have an option to make the tab Lighting on/off for the filter. I mean, let's supposse I've created a filter that I want users control lighting only through sliders I've created instead off through the tab, so I would hide the tab (off). The component would be something like that:

f) Result END/CONTINUE: I'm not sure if it would be possible, but I'd like to have an option in the Result component where I would inform it if it is the END or not. If I mark as END, it will show the FILTER CONTROLS, if not marked as END it would add an output to continue adding other components. Several times I needed to continue a filter from the results and didn't get the same result without passing trough the result component if you know what I mean.
