Looping Patterns by angelize

This is a simple kaleidoscope filter with looping. By looping the kaleidoscope it produces some very intricate patterns.

lol such a Spaceray thing.

In the example above you can see that I have said and you also may know already that using image in the gradients does not work, but you can blend the noise distortion pattern using a multiply blend mode and connect it to the kaleidoscope and have a switch so you can choose to use the 3 colors or an image

I have seen that with only colors is somewhat limited to the 3 colors patterns, and does not give much variation, BUT when I have used the image source, I have seen that it will give you a thousands more possible variations when changing the settings and it much better from my point of view

Another Third possible alternative is to ALSO connect the 3 color gradient to the blend component and have it with images too, I have not tried this myself but surely it could work, but I think that is better to use only the above one, as it will easily identify the color controls, ones with solid colors and one with image source.

Of course that this is your own filter, and is up to you to modify it or not, this is only a suggestion

I upload again the suggestion as before I had the grid opacity to high and could not be seen very well

Skybase I would suggest you to feed something other than images into the elevation gradient. It often leaves extensively noisy / messy output and it's also very difficult to control. Plus you'd also need to think about feeding a variety of image ratios.

Sorry if this was confusing, I DO NOT SUGGEST at all to activate the images inside the 3 color gradients because it is really useless using the elevation gradient, I ONLY have put it in the screenshot to show how the elevation gradient destroys the image source data

I am updating my suggestion to show it right and how it should be in the filter

It's a bit of a hiccup thing. The thing you wanna recognize with iterators is that it gets increasingly complicated over a couple iterations. So designing with iterators is like thinking about what the source image should be and how the program will process that source.

I think your suggestion's great, it just needs the technical thought as well.

Sorry, but I would NOT have suggested this above IF I had not tried it before and see that for me it works right and there is no problem with iterations or the result images, but maybe I am missing something and the result I see on the filter with images is NOT what was supossed to be even if it looks good.
