There are a lot of creative work arounds to get interesting effects in Filter Forge, but one thing I have yet to be able to do is generate a triangle frame shape (Or just a big triangle in the middle of the screen is fine) Has anyone every been able to achieve this effect? Any advice is much appreciated, thank you ^_^

This is the first way it came to mind to me. There's probably a more ways to go about this, though.
I basically used uberzev's "Curve to Shape" snippet filter. If you play around with the parameters in the curves components you can change the triangle's size and shape.

Awesome! Thank you ssamm! Oh yes, of course my gratitude also goes to uberzev for creating the Curve to Shape snippet. I believe that this is exactly what I was looking for! ^_-

Ah, the filter that used the triangle snippet is now done!

It's called:

Warning Signs!

Thanks again for helping me out with the triangle ssamm and recommending uberzev's Curve to Shape snippet!

Curve to Shape!

Errr... I think that's the one, but it got updated later on I'm assuming to uberEdition v1.1

I also used Uberzev and byRo's "Any Angle Rotate" for the cross out on this filter... gee, this must of have been the third... nope, fourth time I used that Snippet on one of my submitted filters (I used it twice on Celestia)! Thanks again for the tip ssamm, I doubt I could have finalized this filter without it and of course special thanks to uberzev and byRo's wonderful Snippets ^_-

Yeah, that "Any Angle Rotate" is another filter I'm a fan of...

Cool stuff, Zephos! I've been browsing through your filters and am very impressed. (I just looked through "Binary Universe", "Sniper" and "Stick it Notes" -- wow, very clever work!) smile:)
