Hexagonal Lab Blur by Sphinxmorpher

I like this, really clever use of angles on the *Motion Blur*, it reminds me of something volde would do, only a little tamer, but just as cool. I would range-limit the *radius* of the blur amount possible, so hitting random didn't just make a smeary blob sometimes, but other than that it works great, and is pretty fast too. Oh, and more shapes would be a cool bonus, gimme 3-4 shapes, and I'd definitely be using this one a bit just for fun if nothing else.

That was my initial thought too, but then I came to think of the nature of this filter.. its a rather simple filter you want to tweak for each purpose - not much idea in hitting random here.. Ideally I'd like to remap the radius using a non linear response so that e.g. the first third of the control range is around 0..1 in radius, but atm we can only do that with map inputs.

There's a limit to what shapes can be done this way.. but I'll see what I can figure out.. its really not a true hexagonal kernel blur.. it just looks like something "hexagonal".. hehe

Kind words, but not true... some of those tile stunts you pull off are quite clever
