Very nice!!! .....and just in time for the holidays

The only thing I would suggest is to add a Background color toggle and a background color picker.....but can be used fine as is.....

Excellent work!!!

I didn't know, but now I do I mentioned it because I liked your sample on the blue/grey background......and thought the flakes would look good on just about any color

Multi-flakes got rejected because the render time was to long. It's really difficult to cut down the rendertime and still get the same effect.

I'm just gonna have one more go at it. If I don't succeed I'll post it here.
I did just submit a filter 'hardcore quilting' that uses the same technique. It's really easy basicly:
- you just take a portion of a noise and put it in a quadrant
- flip it horizontally and blend it with the original
- flip it vertically and blend it with the original
- rotate that sixty degrees and flip it
- then use a lightness blend twice to squash the last three images together

Ok... just rip the insides out of this one then.

Whoohoooo...
HU nr5 !!!


party tonight at my place (bring your filters)

well deserved

had our first snow over the weekend. not much and didnt last long, but nice to see once in a while

and what the heck is an elfsten...whatever. sounds like a weapon an elf would use... elf sten

You can have the snow and ice......we just got 2 feet over the past few days......and would prefer to leave the snowblower and shovel untouched in the garage.....

Don't get me wrong......I love a white Christmas.....with highs in the mid 80's the next day...... ......

NW (U.S.) here, not that anyone asked, but since we're talking weather ha-ha. It's snowed like 5 times this year, but there's only about 2 inches left on the lawns, and only on side streets now. It keeps warming up to 35*-38* a few days after each snowfall, then of course, 80%+ of it melts away. It's 36* right now and melting, but it's supposed to snow an inch or two tonight. Very different from my childhood here, when it would snow in late October or early November, and not go away for 4 or so solid months. There'd be piles of snow 12-15 feets tall at the malls, in the far corners of the parking lot, where they pushed it all up to get it out of the main areas by the stores. Usually by March the streets would be clearing up, and people would have a foot or so left in their yard til the middle of March. I have no real opinion of snow either way, although I prefer it not be on the streets really.

That makes perfect sense to me. Awesome. Only part i'm unsure on is how to put it in a quadrant.

Cool filter
