Op-art

This was the rage in my youth... My personal case is aggravated by working for several years in a building that was a permanent exhibit of one of the leaders of the genre (Yvaral), and currently living near another of his monumental works.

My great personal pride is that I didn't follow any tutorials for that, I just imagined a technique myself. Not that hard actually...

It pains my Eyes, You should make a script that does that if you Can

Very cool looking though Ofnuts

Already built into GIMP; believe it's called Engrave under Distorts menu.

That doesn't look like this... it looks like one of his old Sigs

yes, pretty close. But not that much tuning allowed...

Maybe you can lower the oppacity of the stripes.

So does that mean we get an Ofnuts Script for Op-Art

Here is one using the Engrave filter.

Who is that? I recognize that image.... Why.... That is weird... I hope it isn't your Hubby

(but in a good way, so I don't seem all creepy, no problems with looks, just seems like it might be a bit creepy for me to say I recognize your Hubby)

Just looks familiar, not that I know the guy or something, just familiar...

Please take this the best way possible as it may have come out wrong,
Willy

Color to alpha to remove the background white and a spiral gradient placed beneath.

I wrote a greyscale dithering script a while back that will work with any greyscale dither pattern and convert the image.

here are samples:

The script is grayed out in my list. I have a grayscale pattern beneath the picture I want to dither.

It requires the image to be RGB, so just convert the image mode.

Very similar results to my technique. Do you apply a vertical blur before the threshold?
