Filter Forge - Harlequin... combination of tile and checked in a 2:1

Active Topics Search

Koh Koh Posts: 76 Filters: 8	Any of you know how to trick this pattern? it's like all the loungy puffy seatcushions but then combined with a checked pattern... is there anyways a way to do this in Filterforge? The closest i come is one where the repeat will only work on the uneven numbers but not on the even numbers. And I'm sure it can be done or am I wrong?

Koh Koh Posts: 76 Filters: 8	Hi 3D, I admire your energy, thanks for trying to help out! I attached a picture of Cezanne the man on the right shows of the harlequin pattern i am trying to achieve though a little bit more complex as on the picture. I think your seamless rotation and repeat might do the trick, though then still the ammount 2 height against 1 width (sorry dutch, I can't remember the word in english)might give a problem. So maybe there are more easy ways to do it? As a base for the filter I now used a combination of frame sphere's, tiles and the checker with the idea to turn all in the end of the filter.

It will only tile seamlesslessy in certain stretched increments, and for a 2:1 ratio most likely only even numbers will work without using a more complex method that my 30 second way. jffe Filter Forger

Koh Koh Posts: 76 Filters: 8	ahhha so i wasnt crazy at all! wow, i'm getting to be amazed by myself here! But now the question is is it totally impossible? or can we make a non breaking filter with one of the other options?

Koh Koh Posts: 76 Filters: 8	yes, that one I found quickly, the problem is its just not only that pattern in the filter, there is also ropes and buttons in it so ropes on the side of the 'inclined squares' and buttons in between them. Is there a way to get them all to move fluently with eachother?

Crapadilla lvl 52 Filter Weaver and Official "Filter Forge Seer" Posts: 4365 Filters: 65	Hehe, you're welcome! The only case when different patterns don't scale in perfect sync with eachother is when a filter author tries to scale them via a custom control. This can be problematic since some components (like the noises) don't scale in a linear fashion while others (patterns/gradients) do. Consequently, the trick is to always use 'Size, pixels' for any scaling. --- Crapadilla says: "Damn you, stupid redundant feature requests!" ;)

jffe Posts: 2869 Filters: 90	Of course Crapa is right about the scaling and the 'best' way to do it. But it should also be said that it is often times a steeper learning curve, and there's umm, usually more than "one way to filter a cat", so to speak. jffe Filter Forger

Koh Koh Posts: 76 Filters: 8	Yes, though in this case I prefer Crap's method above loosing ALL of my hair And believe me after submitting my first filter I haven't really stood still as far as it goes for filterforge... It's way too addictive (think they should put a sticker on the website and product pictures giving a fair warning!) I'm slowly starting to see how things work that I didnt have a clue about when I first got FF. And that's i guess the best part. There aren't so many nodes, but the end of the learning curve is sure not within sight yet! now those damn knots

Koh Koh Posts: 76 Filters: 8	uhuh uhuh nods something like that would fit well, and I think would be a good ol'marketing stunt as promoting it as a game Sound like the good old math teacher formula.... Math!? No, we puzzle!

Koh Koh Posts: 76 Filters: 8	Yus, but still with the ropes and buttons, it ain't working out together... I now fix it in photoshop but its still distorted then... heh, and offcourse i deleted the one that had the 'break on the even repeats'. I want version control and folders in my filters...
