Lots of tiny Cubes filled with your own images like Inujima´s cubes

I have seen that the inujima´s filter is based on hexagon shapes to make the cubes, and is only using just textured color cubes because it uses a way that only uses solid color, then after I have seen that Skybase/Yuya made the awesome and very well done Hexagon Parade that creates hexagons filled with images

So I have tried to mix the Inujima´s Cubes filter with the Skybase´s Hexagon Parade, BUT have found that Inujima makes the cubes in a different way than how Skybase has created the hexagons so they do not match together as they are different hexagons.

So I have to find the way to create the hexagons in the Skybase filter in the same way or similar to the Inujima´s filter, but I still do not know how to use right the Lookup component that seems to be the key and essential for this, and it needs to have some flat gradient hexagons to work, something that the Inujima´s filter do not have.

Here below is the filter I have done until now that shows the images filling the sides of each cubes, BUT the problem is that they are displaced and not filling exactly the sides of each cube because the filter is using two different ways to make the hexagons and the cubes, and so obviusly it will not work this way.

I think I know how it should be done, but as said, I do not have yet enough information and knowledge to use the lookup component and to create the needed image based hexagons

I have seen that the problem is that the hexagons from the Skybase part do not match exactly the Inujima´s cubes so I have tried to offset the hexagons or rotate them to fill and match them, but I have not been able yet to make it work right

The problem shown in the above post is because both filters are using different hexagons as shown here below

I have tried to rotate and resize the hexagons but it does not work, at least in the way I have done it

So if anyone knows could know a way or have some tips or hints on how this could be done the elevation gradient to be similar to the hexagons made by Inujima, it would be appreciated and helpful

Thanks very much

Here above I have put that I should match the Inujima´s hexagons, so I tried to rotate the hexagons from the skybase way and also rotate the elevation gradient to be similar to the one from Inujima, BUT this does not fixes the problem as the cubes are still half textured.

This is more difficult than it seems and will need more understanding of how the filter works as it gets broken easily and must match all the different parts the cubes and images go through all the way to the end

EDITED: Sorry that I wrote it wrong the first time on the second part, now is edited right

Yuya SpaceRay, I sent you email regarding the last couple statements

OH, thanks, sorry that I have not seen it before, I have already answered you about it.

Yuya I personally think you're embarking on something a bit too high level for yourself. Will leave you a bit more advice for you later!

Yes I agree that with this idea I was thinking I could just replace the original hexagons with your own hexagons from Hexagon Parade, and this would be easy to do, but then after trying I discovered that as Inujima have built the hexagons in a different way than your own way, and so you CAN´T mix both, because it will most probably not work, although I may have been able to solve this first problem, to reach to the end result is a complex thing, and does not work as expected, so after there is something I am missing that breaks the tiling and will not work right.

I now have seen that really to be able to modify this filter you must know well HOW IT WORKS and how all the flow of the components work together to achieve the final result and is not as easy as I thought.

I think this maybe too complex to make for me as I really do not understand well HOW is the workflow of the cubes creations and applying the mapping, because when I fix one thing, it breaks fr om another part.

Oh no it's not "maybe too complex" it's "very sophisticated" for yourself! haha. Look man, I personally don't understand half of what Inujima does myself. This guy's filters are way above your average "I made something, here it is" filter. It's solid principle, quite a ton of math, and magic.

I swear man, you're seriously doing something wayyyyyy above your own level.

So at least pat yourself on the back for trying.
