only thing i can help with here is organizing things a bit. i cleaned out the loose threads and re-ordered things a bit. might make it easier to think with.

for an actual fix, this looks to be something more along uber's or byro's math lines.

If wishes were horses... there'd be a whole lot of horse crap to clean up!

well I figured it out finnaly after all this time since I started with FF
My wife took the kids to stay at grandmas since I had a migraine even though I wanted them to stay

but it did give me the opportunity to take some medicine and upon wakeing up I figured it out

For someone that prides himself on thinking outside the box and not confining my thinking --I had really gotten in a rut on this one and not truly looked at it from all angles

angles is the key
I kept primarily foccusing on the horizontal when the true key was altering the vertical only worked like a charm even the dividions are properly scaled

its a complete wreck in its current state about 50 dead ends that I had been exploreing

Ill clean it up and set aside an example section within the filter tommorow morning

sorry to have bugged you guys and

Okay quick update I was cleaning it up when I noticed some artifacts on closer scrutiny
because I use the number 33.3 is my assumption since we cant use fractions 1/3
I can use the same basis to get it to work but it will no longer be a simple filter --the inner mechanics will be quite bulky and in essense just a cheat using masks--but it will work and should render really fanst anyhow ---Ill get to work on the revised edition a little later and submitt it tomorrow --im a little disheartend by the discovery of those artifacts...
Ill probably release both versions
one officially the other in this post later incase someone wants to look at the guts of the orriginal

Sorry just about screamed out loud when I saw those artifacts --just dont have the heart yet to work on it so Im finishing up a few others

Ill make sure its submitted by tommorow morning --but it may originally be only a snippet since for now Im only implimenting one direction instead of all 4
Ill later submitt a full filter that allows all 4 directions

and like I said Ill submitt the original in this post even though its flawed

I know the feeling.....I usually discover the flaws in mine after they have been submitted smile;) smile:)

Working on this one was quite a lesson on things I didn't know.....curious to see where I was going wrong.....and how the story ends smile:)
