I have a request for ThreeDee.
If I remember well, somewhere in the forum, you wrote that you have some filter with a very large number of settings or composed of many smaller filters combined together.

I like your filters very much and I would be very interested to see any filters that you didn't upload. No matter if they are messy or very complex, I would like to try them. smile;)
It would be interesting also for the other filters makers, I think.

Hi Ramlyn,

Well, that doesn't really narrow it down very much... I can think of about 25 filters that might fit into that category.

Wild guess: Image Montage?

I guess I could put a random filter trick here on this thread.

Particle depth tricks: fake cast shadows

Since actual cast shadows are hopelessly slow, you can use fake shadows to add depth to Bomber particles when the particles "float in space."

Actually, a couple of different things have been used here to add depth:

1) Depth sorting with a perlin noise input
2) Scaling with same perlin run through a tone curve for better distribution (if you use the perlin as is, you get too many large particles)
3) Making "shadow" particles and compositing them between other particles.

A bit more complex version:

It's pretty subtle, but you can see the difference when there are no shadows:

Very interesting! And the difference between the two previous is very clear. Without shadows, all the spheres appear just as a copy of the same one. Instead, adding the shadows, they get deepness and 3D feeling.
Thank you for sharing the "Bomber depth". I'll surely use it.
