Looking good Red, particularly like the look on the second one

i like that first one best, red. if you could get that pattern into a marble look, as the veins in the marble, i think that would be cool, too.

these always amaze me that they came primarily from noise components:

thanks, steve yeah, i like this too. i like how the gritty area blends into the glass/smooth area.

interesting that you see this as water. i was trying to, but couldnt quite make it fit in my head that way. so, i kept seeing glass. lol. happens every time, doesnt it; you say potaato, i say potahto actually, you water idea is very good. you shld try a 'waves' filter, something along the lines of big surf in hawaii or something. those waves out there can be large and very colorful.

oh, re the clouds... didnt i tell you? i dont finish anything any more. i just start things. lol.

hehe, what fun would it be if i couldnt get you to pester me! makes me feel wanted

now, if we could just get the raw, paying public to 'pester us'... somehow, i think we've been 'giving away the milk for free' here, steve. might be time to shore up the fences. nothing like displaying one's wares but refusing to publish that might make buyers pay more attention.

lol. well, since i'm purposely withholding filter submissions, it would be somewhat weird to let you in on this and then have to snuff not only my own works, but yours too.

Clouds are something I haven't tried yet, but I'm in the middle of too many other things to really go for them currently. Kraellin's example renders looked like the best FF clouds I've seen though.

StevieJ, I really like those last three cloud examples -- especially that last one.

I'd love to see the filters' internals -- but if they never get posted/submitted I understand the "giving away the milk for free" problem Kraellin pointed out...
(For me, my art projects have never developed into anything more than just a fun hobby. ...It's kind of too bad we all have to live in a material world...)

By the way, if nothing else, people posting "teaser images" (without posting the filters) helps inspire me to think up my own ideas/solutions -- so maybe there is something creative-inducing (for us, others) in not fully disclosing all the info...

----It's only a hobby until you decide it's more serious than that. Well, then it really is "work" cause ya gotta find out where you fit into the market, but it can be done over time.

----I would agree, Reaktor is like Genetica compared to FF (ie = not anywhere near as user friendly overall). I would suggest you look into SynthEdit, and/or Synthmaker, especially if it's just for your own use, and not for later retail, as none of those, Reaktor/SE/SM, are very good as far as selling your creations goes. SM is probably the closest to FF from what I've seen, although I have not used it, it *looked* a bit closer and friendler like icon/graphic stylewise. To be perfectly honest with ya, at this point in time, there isn't much that hasn't been hand coded as far as normal sounding stuff in the audio realm. If you are looking for a good synth or effect of a certain already defined type then message me, I can probably point you toward several to try the demos of. In the end, commercial "hand-coded" stuff is superior is most ways (if only speed/cpu-wise, even FF freely admits that individually coded filters are considerabley faster than the FF equivalent, and same for Reakor/SE/SM created audio synths and effects).

Do I detect a hint of "cheekiness" in that last comment..... .....

i only use one prof grad on the clouds themselves. i use 2 more in the zoom function, though. i've now got three different types going, the thinner ones, the fluffies and a new one i've been testing which puts the horizen in the middle, a la' steve's images.

I ran out of tangent subject matter, so I was forced to talk about filters..... ..... LOL....

Craig, I'm using at least three to emulate sun/point source lighting for each different layer and cloud type.....all set in the same direction to emulate that light is hitting everything from the same source.....
