Lovely Artistic effect found. Could this be done with Filter Forge ?

I have found this image below and it seems that he made a artistic way to have lots of cubes to be blended very well and mixing colors



It is form this website here

YES, I have had the same idea After a while thinking how could this be done, I was thinking how to do this with bomber, and then it came to my mind that the Paint chips filter is the closest thing to this and there should be a way to modify it.

Very nice done your own modification and looks very good.

But you are not the only one that have done it, I now I am learning how to do it to, I do not how you have your own version, But here is my own version, adding controls to the 6 opacity layers of the multiblend component, and the result is seen below.

This a rough and simply version, and surely can be done better, I will experiment and try more.

Please, let me think, .... have I seen this filter before ??? Well I think I have seen it once but do not remember well, Oh, yes I know now

I have a new version made with 5 blend modes replacing the multiblend and other parts and having 5 opacity controls, one on each blend mode.

And this is the result below

Here is at the real size close up high resolution

Look at the image I attached. I highlighted several colored squares from 2 of the examples above and you can see one side is almost opaque, while the other side is almost transparent.

Here you can see what I have done with the Free Rectangle control of the original filter.
All I did was add a black to white gradient, and put it as a new alpha for the free rectangle (or any other shape you use).

The gradient I used makes the effect look more like the third image you posted at the beginning of this thread. You can spread the gradient differently to have a result more similar to the other images.

Well I have already done it and it now looks really much better, BUT I have seen that I also like the plain version without the gradient, so I have put an option to desactivate the gradient if you want and need (I learnt how to do this too thanks to you) and so I have now the components as are shown below

And now WITHOUT the gradient applied, which also I like too (I have changed more things since my last post with this)

And here is the result with the gradient applied to MAX (so it converts it to small rectangles)
