Triangles Again by Rick Duim

Good, creative and artistic, I think that this can be good with the right settings and selected image source, will see how it works

Thanks

Thanks SpaceRay & Ramlyn. Sometimes the "tall triangles" give the images a sort of harlequin look.

I agree with you that the grainy lines are not always nice, I suposse you mean the lines on the edges of triangles, the good thing is that you can remove them easily:

REMOVE UNWANTED DIAGONAL LINES - GROUT

There are two ways

1 - Just go to Grout Color, click on it, and then go to A value and put it at 0, and so all the grout lines will be removed as shown here below on the screenshot

2 - Uncheck the Grout checkboxes you want so these lines are not shown, or leave only the ones you may like

MODIFY TRANSPARENCY OF DIAGONAL LINES - GROUT

you can also change how much transparency you want for these lines to be shown

Go to Grout Color, click on it, and then go to A value and modify it as you want, 0 full transparency, 100 full solid

I understand not liking the lines. Here is a variation of the filter allowing the grout texture (perlin noise) to be turned off. And as mentioned before, grout can be turned completely off on each level or the alpha color reduced. If there is an interest in this variation, I will release it as an update.

Also I believe the original intent of FF was to have filters with 10 controls or less. I broke the rule with 14... On top of that I used a different ordering than I usually do, I grouped the controls by "function", not by tile level. I think it's better that way, but takes getting used to.

Nice example Ray

The option for turning the Grout Texture on/off is now available in the filter as an update. For example:

Although I like very much this one and is well done, i wonder if there could be a way to make another filter similar to this one that would ONLY have triangles without making rombhus triangles, I mean that the triangles are always triangles, and can not be joined two of them with the same color

Something like this example but using the souce image color instead. This example is ONLY to show that the rhombus are made with two different colored triangles, and I do not mean that I want to have the same pattern, and is not what I want suggest

Also the triangles can be done either vertically as shown on the example or horizontally

Thanks for explaining it how you made it, and this is usually what many times happen, that you are experimenting with components and by accident you get something cool and nice and then want to continue to improve it until making a good filter of it as you have done very well

Of course that the above is just a suggestion, and not that you have to do it, is just an idea, and do not know if making the triangles all different could be hard to achieve or not
