I was tweaking the kalediscope component while connected to something else I don't remember that part, but it gave me the cool FF exclaimation
point. This gave me different shapes Diamonds and Hearts to be exact. Then I thought how about a playing cards filter. Where all cards can be rendered and the users image can be used for either the back or the front. I am still working on the basic shapes. I still need to tweak the heart and the Spade a bit. Here is a screen.  Stupid things happen to computers for stupid reasons at stupid times! |

Yes I am going to do a whole deck. Except for the joker and the rules card. haha. The only problem I see with this one is how to make it so the user can change numbers. I could use switches for this so that will be interesting to work out. I will have to kinda plan it out on paper from this point before I just start connecting stuff. Otherwise I might confuse myself with all the connections. The one I won't do is a Jack, Queen and King face. I will MAYBE have that one in version 2 or 3. Depending on how slow this one renders when done. chuck  Stupid things happen to computers for stupid reasons at stupid times! |

hehe, i hadnt even thought about the face cards and joker. those could be a real trick
but, if you do tackle them, i'd suggest donna's pic for the queen

Here is the FF file thus far. A warning thou it is big even for this point. At least the most connections that I have made. It renders slow but still is surprisingly quick.

Thanks James, hopefully I can get it finished without to much slowing of the final render.
The cool part also is there are other methods of doing things in this filter also. Such as the text and numbers which have curves. Have to make those as seperate filters so just those methods can be used and studied.
If anyone is interested. Not only busy but having lots of fun with FF.

Well took a break from the cards for a day or so to make Advanced Text.
The same method I am using for the cards. Here is a pict.  Stupid things happen to computers for stupid reasons at stupid times! |

If this method is used it does increase render times. However text and numbers can be made but use them sparingly. This method is based on the very cool Hello World from byRo and Ken. Find that thread here

That text is sweet. FF should have a truetype/opentype font export option.

Although I am still far from done on this filter. I thought I would post a picture so far. I still have to size and position the numbers as you can see from the three at the bottom of the card. But here is a basic pict.

CF, ya know, that life preserver would probably make a good back of the deck

A basic card pattern can be used for the back with the red or blue. If the image is not used for front a basic white or texture of some type can be used. But this is only the first version so I am sure there will be more added later.  hehe still like this one.Stupid things happen to computers for stupid reasons at stupid times! |

Ok Ok one more post with picts and I am done posting about these. At least the next one will mean I am finished with it. The numbers and suits are now aligned and sized. Here is a pict.
Now I need to work on the patterns for the back of the card and sizing of the card. At least the hard stuff is done.   Stupid things happen to computers for stupid reasons at stupid times! |

Almost done also. Another day or two. 
The stuff in the background, if you remember the rose in the first FF gallery. http://www.filterforge.com/forum/read...&PAGEN_1=1 I took that and ran it through one of the other filters I made Runny Water Abstract. http://www.filterforge.com/filters/697.html I thought it would be neat to see what it would look like. I saved the resulting image and loaded it into the Playing Cards filter for the background. So any image could be used for the cards. Back or front.
