This is my first filter and it is the result of my first string of experimentations with FF. Personally, I liked the seemingly enless variants of this filter and the random "unpredictability" of its effect on different images.

I am anxious to get some feedback (good or bad) on this filter.....

Just curious why you're using a Motion Blur in there, especially since it is hardwired to have very little 'direction'. A simple Blur would suffice, no?

Thanx Crappadilla, I will try that.... I try anything that works smile:) I've made several other modifications that I will update it with..... There's no end to what you can do here....and it has been quite a lesson in image properties....

This is a great start StevieJ..I was kinda playing with this filter and got some interesting looks using some direction with that blur. You could have another filter just from this.

Thank you, CFandM smile:) Funny you say that....I am working on a filter like that....with chroming options as well. I have been playing around with all types of filters like this and I was thinking of putting them all on switches in one filter....kinda like an abstract workshop. What do you think?

This is way too much fun....I think I'm hooked smile:D

Hi CFandM smile:) No, "StevieJ's AbstractWorx 1" is a new filter that I posted last night. I really like playing with this one....endless options, fine tuning, unpredictable effects....500 hp, four-on-the-floor, dual cams.... smile:D

I really like what you did above with the motion blur in my first filter (StevieJ's EyeCandy 1).....and I think that I am going to make a filter for that effect with the option of soft pastel to metallic. That was a great idea!!!! I'm going to have to name it "CFandM's Influence On StevieJ's Filters" smile:)

What and where are your filters??? I would like to check them out.....

you're kidding, right? smile:) between CF and voldemort, i think 50% of the filters in the library are theirs smile:)

ok, kidding aside, you can search the library by creator name smile:)

Hey Kraelin and CFandM smile:) I really have not been paying attention to who's done what....but I went back and took a look....and yeah, that was pretty stupid of me to say that without looking....

CFandM, you have my appologies....I just saw that my favorite filter is yours...."Langrangian Twist" smile:loveff: The other stupid thing is that I have been meaning to contact the author of that one....and I have already been talking to you.....

I really want to learn how to put filters like that together.....

Thats the other interesting part of FF, change just one setting and you get totally different results to a filter.

"CFandM's Influence On StevieJ's Filters" I think I like that name..smile:D smile;)

Hey CFandM smile:) , I tried to figure how you did your "Langrangian Twist", but it is well beyond my skill level....and made me realize that I have alot to learn before ever dreaming of going there. I'm starting small and simplified, experimenting with everything as I go, and taking it one step at a time so I know exactly what I need.....

Is there a way to send unfinished filters-in-progress to each other without submitting them???

hehehe, linked filters... now that could drive you nuts smile:)

actually, i had an idea a while back to take some filters that were all fairly similar and snip the best parts out and combine those parts into a new one. i'm actually somewhat surprised that the FF team isnt doing a bit of trimming in the library or something similar to what i'm saying. but i suppose that would somewhat kill the incentive to post them there.
