Mirror/Tile option in Translate/Rotate Modules
Mirror/Tile option in Translate/Rotate Modules
Would be a great help, thank you!
Re: Mirror/Tile option in Translate/Rotate Modules
For mirror try Kaleidoscope. For tile try array. For reasons as to why it's not a particularly great idea to have them included in the transform modules themselves, consider the order of transforms (e.g rotate before or after a mirror/tile). They're different and both useful.
For many more tile/mirror options look at the IFS modules included. You could edit all of these to include transforms but would you want to?

Thanks for the reply! Kaleidoscope and Array don't accomplish the effect that is desired. I should have been more specific about the feature.Sadler wrote:For mirror try Kaleidoscope.

Basically, I'm trying to find a way to have the full resolution input tiled in a mirror or repeating pattern with the ability to rotate and shift x or y infinitely.
The module Quad Tile is very close to accomplishing this except that it crops the input into a square and lowers the resolution of the input.
I've been trying to find a way to fix that in the shader but my knowledge of shaders has far to go.

Re: Mirror/Tile option in Translate/Rotate Modules
Perhaps you could make a mock-up image of what you're after?
Re: Mirror/Tile option in Translate/Rotate Modules
Hehehe, thanks for the reply but I'm not sure if a shot of a tile of images would help convey the idea.
All I'm saying is that it'd be nice to have a module that could tile, mirror tile, shift, zoom, and rotate at full resolution.
I'm new to the forums so I apologize if the way I made the request was crappy in any way.

Yeah, words fail sometimes so it is useful to be able to post video in the forum - that's often the best way to demonstrate what you want to achieve.
