Range Of Basic Shapes

I know it's already possible to make a range of interesting shapes but i think it should be easier than it currently is and we should have a range of default shapes available, this would go perfectly with the toolbox idea if you don't want to make lots of shape generators as you could have these as grouped modules made from combining various modules together ect. On the subject of the grouped modules they could show all controls on them and have a show controls on parent tick box so if ticked they show up on the main filters options and if not just when the grouped modules selected in the structure, this way you could have for example a star generator thats made up from something like curves and the kaliedoscope function, so just for this star generator you would be able to choose the amount of points and the curve of each section and that type of thing and you would have control values to modify them.

Yes, I agree -- a NGon/Star generator is a must.

Oh, I thought that was a screencap of your lastest filter, Zev! ("I've gone beyond making mere textures. My filters can now replicate Windows dialogs." )

Back on topic... n-gon would be very cool!

Many on the shapes on the screenshot can be generalized as simple shapes with curve/gradient inputs for radius etc.

Shapes are definitely on the list.
