Some great stuff ben and threedee...

With type as selection.

Wow these are really great, that water definately looks 3d ThreeDee

Not fair. Three Dee is cheating guys, just ignore him.

I realized I was making the normal-map-to-angle conversion all too complex. You can basically just extract Hue and you're done

i'm beginning to learn and thus appreciate bombers more. this is mostly due to 3D's excellent example filter above. i've also been modding that same filter with some interesting results (well, interesting to me ):

#3

#5

#7

Mean while, inspired by all this hype. I decided to try something ridiculously simple to achieve a similar effect.

how ridiculously simple?

HINTs:
Uses a total of 9 nodes.

Of those, the part which is used to determine the angles of the particles, is only 4 nodes.

Overall. Bloody simple and its fast.

So, who can figure this one out?

I had to join this mad circus of weird experiments, so I took my expressionist painting filter and gave it some bomber love.

Totte, it looks really good!

Kraellin, that texture is bloody realistic. Awesome job

Here are a few of my bomber experiments...

Here's an image filter using bomber

And an eyeball bomber...

meyendless: Very impressive tile filter. Care to share?

Totte: If you add some noise to your last one, it might look a little like a blanket or towel.

Thanks, Krae (i don't mind typing out your full name, but i'm not going to )

Totally agree on the folder issue.
I have so many filter folders that sometimes it's a pain having to shut down FF and change folders. It doesn't really take that long, but after doing it a hundred or so times in a day it gets annoying. Can't figure out why it hasn't been made easier, but I don't know how the program is coded so I can't say really.

I'd like to see it set up something like this...

Building
Misc
Organic
Stone
Techno
-----------
Creative
Distortions
Misc
-----------
Favourites
Search
My Filters_effects
My Filters_textures
My Filters_objects

There could be a master 'My Filters' folder where you'd put any filter folders you want to access through the program and they'd show up on the list. Seems simple enough, but there must be a reason something like that hasn't been done yet.

Small issues aside though, version 2 is looking great so far.
I'm really looking forward to seeing how things progress.

That's because the Bomber has to be totally overhauled to incorporate z-depth functionality!

Yessss, custom folders... please!
Here's a thought, why not use the native file system to organize filters?
