New filter 'Patterns / Pack shape'

That's beautiful Lyle.
I'm actually planning to rewrite almost all 'from scratch', to allow more flexibility for future filters.
But don't be afraid, I won't destroy the current version until the new one is working perfectly

I trust you David; you did keep Blend/Shape Average for me. lolol

Just wish I didn't have to resort to cheating in order to get a presentable result, but I'm good at cheating. Also, appreciate the feedback too Rod.

Luv-it-Lyle, one of my faves by you.

Thanks Molly; enjoyed figuring this one out. David made it easy since he really enforces mask rules. Might even experiement with using blends of Voronoi stippler with either Pack shape or Shapeism since I know I can use the gaps left by Voronoi stippler as a real mask.

Another cool feature is creating seamless textures. Just run the preset until packed, then offset 50,50, and run again to feel the seams. Click image below for it's deviant.

David is it possible to add multiple shapes with rotation to get a kind of shattered effect?
Say squares and triangles? Or even a way to use a shape mask layer?

Thanks for the comments folks. Rod, you beat me too it. Since David allows the all command, I was going to ask him if we can have a separate brush in each layer above the mask layer and have the preset strategically place the brushes either randomly or sequencially as well as size of course. Also was going to request an angle range option (not applicable for circle objects of course). Hopefully it can be easily done. Do I asketh for too much or what? lololol

@Ronounours

This new filter "Pack sprites" is not announced

and renderings are better

Ronounours · **Joined:** Jan 03, 2011 **Posts:** 1656

Samj : I'm not completely ready with this filter, I've some ideas to improve it a little bit.
So maybe then, I'll do an announce, but I'm not sure, as it is basically only slightly better than the (already announced) 'pack shape' filter.

Here's one I made using this method...

I'm still hoping for a rotational angle range option (neg to pos degrees; example, -30 to plus 40; -180 to +180 or, of course default to no rotation) as well as multiple objects to pack, but, I do asketh for too much. lol

Like the smiley filled star samj and the paisley shirt to Wallace:)
