Organic Tangled Web Distortion by SpaceRay

Organic Tangled Web Distortion by SpaceRay
http://filterforge.com/filters/10533.html

And one more with another of the preset available

A this is a very simple example without any distortion applied to the source image and the blackness of the web at minimum and a web complexity scale of 77

And this example is distorting very slighty the source image and reducing the "size pixel" slider by half the original value and you get a smaller and more complex organic web pattern

SpaceRay ... Sorry it took me awhile to get to your filter .... I am on dial-up and usually only download once a week using the library's WiFi ... I missed this the last time, but got it today and I find it is quite good for making backgrounds. I find that I have to adjust the Color Balance and Saturation after I apply it. I like changing the web to a different color. This one I call "Guts" ....

Nice textures background you have done. This filter can transform very much the source and you can get curious and strange textures and backgrounds.

Oh, it´s not a problem, and do not to be sorry for this, the good is that you finally got it and that you like it and could be useful for you.

Oh yes, I have found the same problem with some images that do not get right after applying this filter, so I have made an update with more adjustment controls for this and have already uploaded it.

Here is a new example of a town through this filter

Also do not forget that can be seen even better when activating the seamless checkbox and then the texture will be seen bigger and better and could crop parts of it or rebuild parts so it is not so repeating.

SEAMLESS ACTIVATED

And the last one I have done

Very cool idea, SpaceRay!
(and is also very FAST!!!)
Congratulations!

Cool effect and fun to play with

I´ll try it out when it´s up

Sorry what is this ?

The new version I like it much better than the first one and now really you can get much more combinations and gives much better quaility and more beautiful webs and can now really customize much better all the design

And also the "next variant" also is better (although of course would be perfect IF you could have control locks and only randomize the settings that YOU WANT and NOT ALL of them as it happens now.

I like how you can get now a mix of white and black webs using the new Web Curve Editor as shown here AND now you can have control of both white and black lines



And also more complex webs with more quality and more parts and better effect



and with the new settings you can control the width and amount of the lines and webs and you are able to make things like this shown here that was not possible before



And the new Geometric web feature that if the size is not too small it can look good



and using the next variant with a good and right source image can give beautiful results with any of the above settings

Also I have to say that none of the examples shown here are really showing right the good things that you can get with OTHER DIFFERENT source images than the FF built in.

Will have to put some examples that show it better.

See at the end of this post and example I have made with colorful stripes as source and using the preset 4 that uses the difference blend mode.

I have made a new upd ate to this filter to make it better and make in some way more organic webs without unwanted results as it happened sometimes before with some se tting values combinations

This is done with the new checkbox "Smooth - Erase Holes"

Before sometimes there has happened that there were some holes in the web design and maybe you like them, but if you did not like them, there were no way to remove them, I have found a way to do it, is not perfect as it will also modify slightly the design, but it works in some way, try it and see how it works for you.

I have reorganized the presets and shown them better, and moved the examples shown in the previous post above here to the top and although I kept nearly all the presets, I have also optimized them. I have included also preset 9 showing the organic tangled web WITHOUT any source image with white background.

NOW YOU ARE ABLE TO PUT ANY SIZE RESOLUTION

Before the filter used ONLY the main image loading of sources and this way you CAN´T resize the result of the filter because it will always be the same resolution as the original source.

Now I have included the option to CHOOSE between Main image source and also color control, and so if you want to have the same source BUT want to change the resolution of the result you can do it when loading the source image through the color control instead of main

Thanks, SpaceRay. This is one of my favorite filters to play around with. I love the tangled web look and also the chunky ropey look it produces. Here it is applied to the default preset of the Autumn filter by Ramlyn with a couple of spiders thrown in.
