Pattern Lab

byRo's filter shld be included into this thread. i'll have to look it up later... forgotten the name.

and cool, dilla

The first two have been done with gradients only. I'll see whether I can come up with a solution that uses 'tile' components, offsets and gradient masks like the last two.

Hmmm... maybe I should do a snippet that collects all these tilings (and more)... or I'll make one snippet per tiling...

Yup, but the devil is in the details!

oh, now how can you leave out kaledioscopes. that wouldnt be any fun

I've been giving myself headaches by reading and trying to understand this stuff... http://www.ics.uci.edu/~eppstein/junkyard/sym.html
So far, my headaches have gotten worse.
but maybe someone else, with more patience and less ADD, can find it useful - if you guys aren't familiar with it already.

and let's do a few of these...

these were all from pavement components. at first, when playing around, i had a kaleidoscope in there, as well. but, in the spirit of your lab, i took it out before i saved any images for here. so, this is pavements, offsets, profile gradients, blends and possibly some other stuff, but no kaleids

Guys,
Theese are looking very cool!

Actually, I view these 'labs' as open to everyone, and anyone is welcome to comment and/or contribute in any way they feel appropriate. As we have seen with the 'noise lab' thread, the 'labs' may at times take on characteristics of either 'user gallery'-like displays or tips & tricks on filter creation.

As for comments, I will reserve for myself the privilege to remain silent at times, since I may not always have an opinion on everything. Remember, we're experimenting here, and hence judging prematurely must be avoided. It is my intention to explore what is possible, and to see what others may come up with.

ok, well, that's the kind of commenting i wanted

as for the herringbone, cool... a stairs curve. dont see that used much. nice.

Nice link, Connie. Much appreciated!

I have the distinct feeling that the stairs curve will be of great importance in our explorations!

I never noticed this one until now...

It might not be the most beautiful filter, but it sure does suggest a direction for Pattern Lab research: painstakingly hand-crafted patterns. Have a look into the guts of this filter!

And if the author had used gradients instead of frame components, the filter would also work with 'size,pixels'...

I like that last one..... .....which I think would also look pretty cool as raised color floor tiles set in grout.....

You know, I've been thinking about releasing all these new 'bond types' as a snippet, but then I though that making a usable filter out of these would be better, which is where raised floor tiles and realistic grout come into play. I'm thinking of something like Mike Blackney's 'Classic Floor Tile'. Stay tuned!

Exactly! Gotta catch up with Vlad and his 40+ HU!
