Additional examples of the plug-in effects in use

Nightmare

CircusDaze plug-in in its basic form is to create nightmarish and surreal imagery, taking any image and create a transformed / rotated / sheared world view of the image mixed with twists and turns, where nothing is what it seems.

Gradients

CircusDaze Plug-in surreal / paint effect now combines with an additional gradient (radial / pyramid / linear / star / beam and more), creating 100s of additional color settings to blend into the original image and effect. 30+ blending modes for the gradient and more

Warping and distortion

CircusDaze Plugin comes with a large range of warping / distortion options and settings, to convert any imagery into a shattered / radial / fragmented / distorted masterpiece.

Paint

CircusDaze Plugin to create painted imagery, smeared oil brushed paintings, and more.

Randomization

CircusDaze Plugin is packed with a huge range of randomization features such as randomizing colors + randomization of settings + randomization of warps + randomization of coordinate systems used

Easy to use

CircusDaze plugin is split over multiple dialogs to make it easier to select only the required features: daze / color / warp / grain / grad. The color section offers additional manipulation of color. Warp offers warping and post warping options to create stunning distorted imagery. Grain panel adds additional grain to each of the color channels. Grad adds an additional 'layer' of gradient color across color channels

8 Bit

The plugin is designed for 8 bit RGB color mode but the plugin also works in CMYK, LAB etc color modes as well as 16 bit and can be used in those channels to create even more truly wow color designs.

Extreme graphics

Plugin can be used to create extreme backgrounds, extreme overlays, subtle imagery, designs for book covers, textures, patterns, record covers, music advertising, packaging, source files for 3D effects, for use in Poser and much more.

Andrew's Filters

The plugin is a variant of a plugin I created about 10 years ago, asked to create a version that didn't require additional dlls, I have extended the original Andrew's Filter in 100s of ways. The plugin now is only remotely like the original basic filter. The original filter can still be found on various websites such as Steve's Desktop Photography run by Steve Fisher

Abstract

Use the plugin to create truly abstract designs. Even a basic image can be repeatedly modified, twisted and distorted, stretched and crunched in 100s of ways, to create a near infinite range of abstract designs.

Tiling

Use the tiling features in the output modes to create stunning tiling / patterns / designs for 100s of different uses. The tiling feature comes with 3 additional variant tiling modes. The tiling can then be re-tiled and more to create truly unusual pattern designs and abstract tiles.

Output modes

Other output features such as linear1 and overlay allow for the combination of the image and the effect, leaving subtle hints of the original image within surreal or nightmarish imagery. There are 100 output modes and much more, use them to combine, repeat apply, tweak and more to create wow.
