SpaceRay´s Lab and Forge - For tests, experiments and varied things

And what would happen if you use Kaleidoscope with the above image?

You get this shown here

And here is the last one using Kaleidoscope with the image shown in the first post of this page

Now I got an idea about dominoes made inside Filter forge

CUSTOMIZABLE DOMINO TILES WITH FF FOR ART CREATIONS


Please read the above link before knowing what this is about

And the the filter I have done with bomber is thanks to the great and well done snippet DIE by meyendlesss and then using my own 11 stripes filter and replacing the stripes with the domino pieces using frames.

Here is the basic design

And reducing the size of the dominoes with global slider and painting a White frame in the source I got this dominoes based frame

And a full multicolor dominoes collage

I love it. It looks like dice, though, and not dominos. In my opinion, that is a good thing, because you can be more flexible with the colors. A domino wouldn't be recognizable as a domino unless both halves of the domino had the same color.

Dice are nice!

Many nice works, SpaceRay.
You should upload more of your filters. I'm sure you have great ones in your FF.

Thanks Ramlyn, sorry for the late answer one year later, many things have changed much since I updated this thread since the last time, for example I my original computer is broken, and all the filters are in the internal hard drive, and I can´t take it out. I need to repair it but I have not been able to do it in all this time. Also there are more additional personal problems that makes me not able to continue making filters. When I can do it again I will put some others.

Thanks for your comment glad you like it, although there is no secret behind this, as it is a render from the filter and then used a multiply blend mode with the source image (that I do not remember what was) using Photoshop, although this can be done also inside FF if wanted.

Thanks also for bringing back this thread again

To be able to quote something, you have to first select the text you want to quote, and then while selected click on the quote button, and this way it will work. It will not quote the image, so you have do to do it manually, go over the image, copy image adress and then click on the "image" button on the post and put this link inside the quote

Here is an abstract color source

Here is detail of the above image, where can be seen better the match sticks and that I have used a soft shadow (maybe I should add more shadow) and also have used the Depth map in bomber with Perlin Noise

I wanted to change the colors of the head sticks but yet I have not found the way to do it and that it looks right, so for now they are all red, excepts some that have changed their color by error.

You have just witnessed the complications with the current bomber! The powerless component has trouble dealing with pre-colored input, forcing you to deal with colors after you pass through data. How painful!

Then the bomber+ happened. The magical beast can actually solve your problems ... but actually (and unfortunately) extremely slow (for extremely obvious reasons). But hey it works.

Below is just a sample. I just saw the filter and whipped the basic shape out, not necessarily to have it exact but close. I also don't know if shading can properly be applied to this kind of thing. [edit] just to explain why, the problem with it is that those matchsticks are overlapping each other, given that it's a tad bit more tricky to properly generate the necessary height channel since beveling will create weird bumps that overlap each other.. causing possible weird shading.

So that's not easy ... however... It's where things to get so weirdly complicated, but the solution can be as simple as "maybe it looks visually ok".

In general, I think as long as it looks "visually ok" then you're clear. It's just when you publish that filter on the library, you have to then start considering if the normal map comes out ok for use in 3D programs, or if the filter's optimized, or if the controls are interesting etc.

If you're interested in the filter, PM me. It's honestly awkward to post a filter when you haven't posted the filter yourself.

And here is the filter that makes this butterfly shown here that is a beta version that could have more thigns added

I tried to remove the background color from the free ellipse component and the result was not what I expected, but by accident I got this other result that looks cools.

As said above, thanks to Rachel Duim for making the original Circle Repeat 4 PROTO filter

Butterfly lines.ffxml

I have made also some simple sierpinski filter with 5 colors or 5 images that it is still in development

Apart from the Sierpinski filter I am also making as shown above that will be available when finished, I am preparing a huge Hyperbolic filter for FF 9 that will be available soon with many interesting features and options

It will have maybe around 300 presets.

Here is just a teaser image

After some time I have these fractal things here to show

This has been possible thanks to uberzev showing the way to do Fractal Tesselation Challenge and although the filter is not available he showed a screenshot of how should be done and I have modified it a little.

And you can remove the center and remove the edge

And you can offset much the shapes so they are bigger

Thanks Ghislaine, glad you like it, when I can put the presets I will upload it to the library.
