Hi all!
For those of you not familiar with Sinedots, it is a plugin for Windows that allows you to create some spectacular "netted" effects based on 360 degree sinewaves...
I'm experimenting with it, trying to unlock the secrets behind some beautiful mathematical designs, and would like to share some of my results...

If you are familiar with Sinedots, please share your creations here!
 
Aaa that's a great design MsOz.

I haven't reInstalled my plugins yet since my HD crash. I'll put SineDots back on though and see what i can create. :righton:

It's definately one of the more entertaining filters i've seen for awhile. [excited]
 
Thanks, guys!
The site for the plug-in is
http://www.philipp-spoeth.de/
Go to the menu on the right and click on SineDots II.

There really are no directions to using it, although there are a couple of links to tutorials that at least give you an idea of what you are doing...

Here's just a few examples of what you can create...
 
Wow!!!

Lindaw, that is truly lovely! I can imagine it printed as a sharp looking Valentine...

Thank you for the settings. I need to start saving those too instead of trying to write them all down. I keep forgetting to use that Prnt Scn key \:]

Isn't it a fun plug-in?
 
Yeah I love it! The possibilities are endless. I have a ton of these in a sinedots settings file, the .cfg file. I use it all the time. If you search the net for sinedots .cfg files you will find a ton out there so you don't have to write them all down. I have 4 cfg files with tons of patterns in them. Just pm me if you would like them. Just drop them into the sinedots folder in pshop and then open sinedots and browse to the cfg file you want to use.
 
Way to go Lily!!!!

:righton: %} :} :D 8}
Oh, THANK YOU! I've hunted and hunted, and didn't find this site! As soon as my PC is back on it's feet (Hopefully this weekend, the OS has been reloaded, now to load Photoshop and try to recover all my files...), I will have LOTS of stuff to play with.

Again, Thank you for sharing that link!
 
It appears that similar effects can be created in Illustrator using blends between various shapes and replacing spine of the blend with custom path. Scatter brushes can create something like that also and appearances in conjunction with transform effect and multiple copies can create this type of stuff. I suspect that Illustrator results can be controlled better and files can be rasterized in Photoshop at desired resolution. It also appears that by using spacing and coloring option in Photoshop brushes and stroking some interesting paths with those brushes can create similar results.

Well, you talk a good argument, there idrisi...let's see some of these similar effects that you say can be created and controlled! It's easy to visually deconstruct an effect. It's the ability to create what you've described that is the "proof of the pudding," as they say...

Until I see a faster, easier, more effective result (with raster resolutions and quickly created paths), I'll enjoy this little application, thank you.
