CorvusCroax's Junkyard

test 009
The trick w/ getting these things to interlock is they have to be split at the corners, not in the middle. Not quite working here.

WOOOW !!! CorvusCroax, it absolutely AWESOME how you have changed the Band of Runes filter, and all the many possible variations you have made that look soooo beautifull !!! Great ideas.

Love them ! The Rustizer one, is really great effect and very interesting and the effect is seems to me like very old inscriptions sculpted on stone, or could fit also very well for Steampunk graphics themes. Very good to change the writings inside and changes the shapes size of circular ribbons, and also the idea of add triangles and rectangles !!

Great! Please, Are you going to share the filter for this when you finish making it ?

Thanks for the encouragement! Glad you all like 'em.

Sure, I'll post it here as I'm working on it and you guys can kick the tires. The controls are ... well, there are a lot of controls and they don't all make elegant sense. Getting the ribbons to interlock is a bit tricky, for instance. I'll submit it when it's all 'done'.

You know, I was actually thinking that one could go steampunk with it: alot of the shapes could be replaced by little gears and it could very easily look like in innards of a clock or something. The text in particular could be made to be gear teeth since it's set up to size adjust as needed.

Sort of like this, but with more gears etc:
(this is part of the Prague astronomical clock tower.)

This is really cool! I love it!

So, what do you all think? Should I submit the Rune Circle to the library? Or are the controls etc too confusing?

As far as design wise this is absolutely beautiful..I can think of many things to use this for...Even incorporate some tech circles with this..
Thou I would check the spelling..."Strokes Ammount"

As far as controls wise you have included a good amount of those..Its a hard one to call..Some may not use it because there are too many controls and it is confusing....But having that many controls means more control over the design....

I see once in a while when I hit the next variant button it gives me some of the most epic RuneCircles that are ultra hard to decipher so... it can probably use some limits on some of the controls.

Yeah, that's sort of why it needs a lot of controls: because of the variability, some of the things need little 'tweaks' to look good or line up w/ something else. I'll post the updated version and you can see how it works.

Yep, fixed that and completely renamed all the controls to be more user-friendly. Everything is now named consistently.

I'll post the updated version later tonight.

I visit the forums seldom, but whenever I do, I make sure to visit this thread in order to see with what awesomeness you have come up this time

Aw, shucks! Thanks!

well, that sucks.

As I have said before this is really an awesome, fantastic, beautiful and wonderful filter and is really very artistic and special, and I hope to see it published in the filter forge library and that it gets much downloads and lot of popularity because I think it deserves it.

It does not matter if it has many controls, I think that this is a good thing and not a bad thing, because this way it is more customizable, and gives more possible alternatives and variables and can choose to make more changes. What would be bad is to only have a few controls in a stunning filter like this.

Congrtaulations on V5 version and hope that I can this new version, as seems to be even better than the previous one, and I hope that you can upload it here by compressing it (Please, do not strip it out, post it fully although is bigger) in some way.

I know that sometimes you can double compress a file that is NOT a image, I mean that you compress it once, and then the resulting file is compressed again.

Also ZIP is not the only compressor and there more that sometimes give you higher compression rate.

And if not possible to post it here, just upload to the FF library and then after this if you want to change something you can upload an update.

Thanks really very much for all your work, your ideas and expert skills for making this filter.

it's the seamless tiling thing on the website. it wants to make all presets seamless, if you didnt make up nine presets. it will fill in up to nine presets on the website.

This one uses Fracilicious:

Here's another version with some more moody lighting:
Just put a blurred scruffy metal image on overlay to get the darkening, then added the light streaks.

...I'm speechless...

that last one is very good, corvus!

Overlayed them both and used alpha masks to make one or the other come forward. Then took little FF jewel bits and sphere bits and placed them around. Took an other Rune Circle output, hit it with 'burninate', and overlayed it. Looks pretty good, imho. I think all the parts are FF, actually.

As said by Indigo Ray, I am also speechless and impressed with your artwork, but past the first impact I want to tell you my opinion.

WOW this looks really beautiful and love it very much, I really love the look it has with the metallic look and the lighting and very well composed, you are a great artist that really know how to combine different FF filters to get that great artwork.

Looking at your lovely example, it has inspired me to really experiment and try different filters and mix them with a Run Circle image base.

AND ALSO you can of course use any of the MANY PHOTO EFFECTS plugin filters available for photoshop to even take the manipulation further and make it more complex. Also could be used mixing the FF result with different photoshop blendmodes.

ALSO CAN BE ADDED ADDITIONAL TEXTURES

I have also thought that you can add an aditional background texture of stone, rust, copper, worn and aged metal, concrete, silver or any other material(you can find lots in www.cgtextures.com or many other websites) and then also use FF filters and mix all toghether in photoshop.

Here's another one:
Using Stoned and Lichen it, Derelict by Carl, Bronzerizer, a custom pipe thing i whipped up. The lightning and the glowy rune bits are textures I bought somewhere.

Not as good as the one above (it needs more lighting IMHO), but fun anyway. Used the same process: hit the same input image with different filters and then brush between them to mix them.

Looks amazing Corvus! I hope you release more of this stuff!

What happened to this thread?

Are you not making any other awesome and beautiful things to show here?

I like very much your works and would be good to see some more of what you may be doing.

Thanks for your answer, glad to see that you have some ideas for more things.

This all the very beautiful, awesome, wonderful and great things that Corvus Croax have put in this thread that I like much

There is available the SpaceHulk filter preview in this page 7 to be able to make beautiful things like this one below



Well this is all for now, I will put the other half (the other 7 pages) later.

Congratulations for all this works and admire what you have done.

Thanks also much for sharing this with us.

And about my question?

CorvusCroax It's like a Corvus Croax retrospective exhibit. Thanks Spaceray!

Thanks to you for making this

Morgantao Just a question, can you dubmit or upload here your cartoon filter from pages 8-9? It's looking SO good!

Quote
Morgantao And about my question?

I think you will have to use another similar filter already available on the FF Library.

ys75 CC, any plans on releasing the update space hulk? I really love the page 4-5 images!

There is already one Space Hulk filter available in his filter page here but I do not know if this is what you want, and perhaps these ones are not included as presets and you will have to find out how to make them with this filter.
