Decomposite.

2 1/2 hours bored & sober later. This one may have to be dedicated to our old filter-making-machine buddy volde, haven't seen him around lately, but he was always a mutated tiling mastermind.

Thanks, I blame too much sobriety & free time.

jffe

Thanks Zeph, something I stumbled upon last night, which has probably been done to death in the archives, but I'll try and put a slight twist on it if I can.

Looks cool thou...

----I doubled up a couple of the internals. There's still not a ton of control in a way, but it's looking pretty twisted, so maybe I better stop adding to it. 25% quality renders of that same rose pic from the glass grid filter examples.

jffe

Naw, it still has the glassy looking quality, ya just can't tell very well with the dark flower background is all. About all I added besides doubling up some internals for more mayhem, is a *Mix Mode* control, that flips between the two nearly indentical sets of controls, so you can get more angled, or more squared, psycho tiles. That, and adjusted the offset modules wiring some.

jffe

----Well, square-circle bars would be easy enough I guess, and the thickness of the bars could be added. No idea about triangular bars, I forget if there's a kaleidescope in it, if so then maybe other shapes could be done, if not, then triangles are beyond me. I'll see if I can add the square-circle controls, and bar width controls though. If that works out, I'll get it submitted tonight or tomorrow.
----I changed the Decomposite filter. I took out some stuff, but, I was able to get a control for horizontal-vertical tiling going on, so in a way it's changed the look a bit, but it has more control now, and I'll always take control over random lucky-ness eh.

jffe

----O.k., I couldn't seem to get very far on the Metal Grid Melt filter really, (without risking changing it's overall look dramatically, which I already did with the Decomposite one, in trade for more control). I added some more details to adjust, but it's pretty subtle overall really, which goes both ways. The original presets are not changed much, but you can have finer control over some parts, just nothing radical is all. You may have to pop'er open and make any further modifications you want for personal use, I'm probably done with this one after this minor update, unless I learn some new threshold/metallic techniques in the future sometime.
----The "good news" is, as seen below, even though it's practically the same thing only 2-D, (very few internal changes really), I'ma go ahead and submit filter as seen below also, "Ghost Grid", along with the metal Grid Melt filter update.

----Well, the threshold is what's keeping it from going out to the edges, and also why it melts through in different areas. You might try expanding on the threshold stuff, I've been meaning to explore other ways of getting more mileage out of the threshold component myself. I just haven't had time to yet, too busy using it for what I have learned so far eh.

Metal Grid Melter (v2) and Ghost Grid, have both been submitted. I'm aiming to get the other 2 done and submitted by this time tomorrow. Thanks for the interest everyone.

jffe

*Mesh* is a good word to describe the look when the grid detail is set to 40-50 and above. I put in seperate blurs with controls, and more layering internally. It should be done and submitted tonight or tomorrow. Thanks for looking.

Decomposite has been submitted (04-26-2007). It has been changed slightly from the example images shown, so that you have control over whether you want horizontal, or vertical distorted frames. And you can lighten/darken the output image now, to better balance the colors back to their normal values.
