You have made an amazing and awesome work with this Metatron´s cube and you are veryu clever and expert in doing this kind of things

Please see my comment in your Metatron´s Cube filter page

Updating Metatron soon with tetrahedron. Here's an example using FRACTINT and GIMP.

These are really awesome and amazing and never thought that this could be possible in a 2D software like FF but you have done it very well and admire your skills to do it

Please can you be so kind to tell if you have used only Metatron's Cube and Dodecahedron filters for these 5 3D solids? Thanks very much

Very well done and perfect tiling of all the parts in this 3D shape, amazing.

Thanks Ramlyn Here's some fractal stuff...

This is very good and well done, and like much the effect. Would be cool to have multiple of this squircles in a grid and each with a different texture.

As I have already told you in the filter library page of your filter here is really awesome and amazing what you have done so well and clever

I like much this one as I personally love tangled and complex abstract compositions, and this is very well done and balanced and great with the variation of the lines width from thick to thinner

You are the queen of creating virtual flowers with tiling in such artistic way and is very good the noise gradients you used

Thanks Space Ray, yes I've gone nuts with flowers

A rotating message board, in progress. This is a 16 color animated gif:

More progress, 8x8 grid, numerical font, 40 color dithered gif. Higher quality version in Fans of Filter Forge.

One more test, this one with faux bold text:

Working on adding punctuation and symbols to Globes 9x9. Update later this week.

Maybe you could simply increase the number of symbols without adding more globes to show all characters in one time. It would be anyway very nice, I think.

Thank you!
I downloaded it!

Playing around with animation

Well, this is awkward...
Here is a more refined look at animating phase (Z plane in FF14) in Perlin Noise. I may release this as a snippet, it needs a few more options. Is much smaller in .webm and better looking, but I can't post .webm here. Webp would be nice too.

The Lava Lamp Planet using Sky Phase.

I can answer some of your questions, but life is super busy, so I'll write more in the coming days. Playing with animation is a a filter in progress, not far enough along to show. The basis: a radial gradient into the scale input of Scale. The animation is done by offsetting the image with Normalized Time.

Lava Lamp Planet is done using the Sky Phase filter. I've attached a screenshot of the settings to get a similar look.

Making small GIFs is tricky. I use GIMP. I output the animation to separate images in .png in small sizes for the web (between 400x400 and 500x500). I will write how this is done in another post. A quick summary. Open as Layers (all animation images). Change images to Indexed Mode (16, 32, 64 or 128 colors). Then Animation/Optimize for GiF. Export as an animated GIF.

webm is an option built in to FF14.

Next I will look at Swirling Dervish. It probably is not animation ready for animation looping. I will look to see if that is possible.
