Hi Patrick, A couple of things come to mind:
1. this is sort of cool but doesn't answer your question and has nothing to do with filters. but it is a bit bubble-gummy: http://www.themaninblue.com/experiment/Blobular/ (I think I tried it in Opera and FF4 but it didn't work in ASV) (I just ran across it today) 2. Using displacement filters can do something like you're describing I think: see http://srufaculty.sru.edu/david.dailey/svg/later/displace2.svg or http://srufaculty.sru.edu/david.dailey/svg/later/displace4.svg or http://srufaculty.sru.edu/david.dailey/svg/newstuff/filterDisplacementMap4.svg The distortions I'm doing are based on either reflected gradients (that Opera doesn't handle so well in comparison with the others) or discrete gradients and hence the separation is either fractal or discrete and not as you wish, but it gives the basic idea. If one were to increase the displacement in this one, I think you'd get the basic effect: http://srufaculty.sru.edu/david.dailey/svg/eggcloning3.svg Hope this helps. cheers David ----- Original Message ----- From: patrickdengler To: svg-developers@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, February 20, 2011 4:03 PM Subject: [svg-developers] Filter Help I've been stuck on using filters for a very specific effect that I am hoping the experts here can help me with. Think of a image being strecthed in 2 like bubble gum. I've been playing with a lot of filter effects and clippaths (I have the clipaths down). Has anyone played with an effect like this? Essentially one image on left distorted strecthed and the other half on the right and stretched apart? Do I make sense? :) Patrick [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ ----- To unsubscribe send a message to: svg-developers-unsubscr...@yahoogroups.com -or- visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/svg-developers and click "edit my membership" ----Yahoo!
