Can't let go of controls, want another pattern, just a little different than the last one...

Oh nice this is one of those neat little filters that are just fun to play with.

Honest opinion: this is probably one of your best looking filters. It's frankly colorful, playful, and it's output design is interesting. The color choices are nicely kept, and judging by the examples, there's potential here. To me, a good portion of your filters kinda fall too abstract and a bit too over the top in terms of output design. Hence they kinda end up being in their own inner-circle which results in filters that are limited in terms of usage. You know... stuff that gets too wavy or too noisy. This filter, however, is gorgeous. The output is clean, it draws interesting fun shapes, and frankly, I quite like this!! smile:) Keep it cool, that was just an opinion.

I finally had some little time to test this that I wanted and really think is amazing and gives and awesome gradient quality effect that is very high quality and very smooth and lovely, impressive.

The colors are vey well and there shapes creates are really cool, and you get unusual ones using the randomizer as for example this one
shown here

Above is the positive comments, and now the negative part

MISSING SCALE

As you can see in the example above, the triangle is not complete inside the square, and as far as I know there is no way to make it fit, and is really a great pity that such a beautiful thing can´t be made to fit, so I tried to use the Size, Pixels setting with some curious and unusual effects smile;) smile:D

From the two above posts I do not mean that you should fix it in any way, because this is SIze Pixels fault that happens in many other filters, and not your fault

ADD SCALE COMPONENT TO FIX IT

Then I thought what would happen if I add a simple Scale component just before the result component and add a value control with value 1 and then I was able to adjust the size of the result very easily and as I wanted and fits all the triangle inside the visible part

So if you want I would suggest to add a simple scale component at the end to make it even better than already is and be able to customize the result more.

And the Scale component can also be used as a ZOOM as this shapes has a LOT OF AWESOME DETAIL that sometimes are too little to be seen, or you want to make it bigger, so using the Scale with positive values it makes it explore the inside parts of the shape

This below is the same triangle as above with a +1.9 scale value so you go inside the triangle and fit it to the square

and to really show that this is like a fractal and go even deeper in the design above, I have used here a Scale value 4 and got this

I said that this is like a fractal, so now I increase the scale to value 10 and get then much more deeper

Now I put Scale value 25 and find these two "eyes" and great design that is impossible to see it when you look at the first post

Really love the impressive and lovely gradients that this filter makes

RADIUS SETTING = SLOW SCALE

I have just discovered and see that the radius setting works like a scale and is made for this purpose, sorry that I did not see it before, as I thought that radius was really the radius of the effect and could not know that this was really in reference to the RADIUS SCALE

Sorry that above I have put that there was missing the scale and it was not true, as it really is included with the radius setting, but I have also discovered that this is a slow way to do it

SCALE COMPONENT = VERY FAST SCALE

Although I have confused it, I have discovered something interesting, using the radius setting is very slow to update compared to the scale component that is much faster and can let you precisely and easily adjust the size and fine tune, something that may be difficult using the radius setting as it takes much more time to update.

Thanks to you, DJI, for this awesome beauty, and really I have only one suggestion, and is to add the scale component as it is much faster rendering in the preview than using the radius setting

Although I could have a further suggestion and that is that as this is like a fractal, you may be able to also want to be able to MOVE the design to find the best part of the design once you zoom in or out, so it could have also an offset component, but Is only a possible suggestion, and do not know if it could work right or not
