Circular Reasoning by Rachel Duim

WOW!! Finally this is available and ready, you have an awesome and amazing work creating this that is really very well done and lovely.

Like much the way that you have combined the circles to make this artistic designs

Thanks very much for all the work you have done on this and for making it in such very complex way and and have the options to configure it with colors and reducing or increasing the amount of circles, and have the dense packing option.

This is an example of creative creation using FF that would not be possible in other software I may know.

From your prototype version I have modified it and by accident got this that looks like a butterfly



and to see how it is done here is the filter modified

Using Preset 1, I have replaced the 5 color controls with custom spectrum components with different values and I got this as first test, as it can be done better

And here is the most complex one that is thanks to the extension created by Rachel that she made it possible to do this

Is the same settings as the above one here but with the dense packing active

This is preset 1 with line width 75 and 5 rings

1 - Red
2,3,4 and 5 - white

without seamless tiling

so seeing this the main circles that make the main shapes are the number 1 and that there is an outline color for the main shapes as the white is also covering most of the red shapes that looks very good and great

This is preset 1 with line width 75 and 5 rings

1 white
2 blue
3 white
4 yellow
5 blue

without seamless tiling

And furthermore there is another interesting option to crop the result into a whole circle and cutout all the surroundings so you get a perfect circle filled with a very complex design

This is using Preset 9 (this by default has 5 rings and dense packing and also crop result activated )

Rings
1 blue
2 white
3 yellow
4 green
5 red

here is the filter with the polygon option and with images activated

Thanks really very much to you that made this possible

You have done a good work with giving 5 colors for each ring, but I have thought that also it would be good and great if there could be the option to paint the whole design with the colors of any custom image

Now something different using the original filter with this result shown already above (the link so show it bigger does not work, go above if needed)

I have loaded this result into Neon Electric by CFandM using Preset 7 and got this

Using the same source image original from previous post (not the neon one) I have loaded it into the artistic Scratchy Painting by Philzo

Using the same source image original from previous post (not the neon one) I have loaded it into a bronze bath to make it 3D style with the lovely Bronzerizer by CorvusCroax using Preset 2 and some slighty modified settings

Again, as usual in the 6 posts above, the same source image result that is loaded into Blueprint Drawing by CorvusCroax with custom preset

another cool effect using the same source image result into StevieJ's NeonFluorescence using preset 1

And some examples...

Yes, I Have thought that this could be used in different ways and show it, glad that you love it

Thanks very much for the updated version, it looks very good

I still love very much this awesome filter that is so well done and clever built and even more with the polygonal version that allows to have other geometric shapes instead of only circles as for example this one

I have just found this video and it reminds me much about this filter when it reaches 0:17 or 0:40

Fractal Geometry Journey - Hyperbolic Flower of Life

And I have though that now that we have FF 12 with animation video export it could be possible to make something like this with scale, rotation and offset using the original faster circular version

will see how it may work and what can be done
