CIRectangleGenerator + CIColorWheelGenerator

grapejuice's picture

These are both private patches which are extremely useful to my extremely basic compositions. The Rentangle has a variable 'Edge Blur' feature which I really love... is there a way (that's not too processor expensive) to make the color wheel have edge blur that functions in the same way?

Cheers

UPDATE: I sort of made a clunky version of this feature by masking the billboard destination with the CICircleGenerator which also has edge blur. I'm sure this is the programming equivalent of duct tape but it does the trick of making the circle look softer.

It's funny... I was going to suggest that! Saw your post earlier on my b berry, but was in the middle of something...

I don't think it's bad. If it works, it works! If there are no "spinning beachballs of doom", it's all good. I use that generator as well as the gaussian all the time.

Boy, it's been a busy week.

It wasn't until this early evening that I finally cottoned on to what you were asking after. Private Patches i thought to myself, why doesn't he post them up for us to look at?

Please find attached a purely Private Patch solution to a purely private patch problem •~

Hint - Axial Blur - shrinks from the edge to the centre, just like the Edge blur on the rectangle.

I wonder have you tried bundling these private patches into Quartz Builder applications ? Do they still work ?

Be neater all round if we had a good working core Apple based solution that was fully fledged and not dependent upon the caprice of Private Patches IMHO.

Whatever.

This works and no duct tape in sight :-)
