blend tool on dotted lines?
- it blends 'cross-dimensionally... though? I was thinking some clever Guilloche generator, perhapsdetritus
- i was actually thinking something close to this. might have to copy it on top of itself and flip it.baseline_shift

generate a 3D wave model, texture with dots?

you guys are overthinking it.
make a fine wavy line pattern going in one direction. make the lines thicker at one end than at the other.
duplicate the layer and flop so they're going the other way (or at any opposing angle) so you get the moire look
flatten and blur slightly.
re-sharpen with contrast
- Then how do you explain the transition from light dots to black dots?detritus
- Sorry, that sounded twatty - twasn't meant to.detritus
- to animate, do this in after effects, but instead of flattening the two pattern layers just slide them aroundscarabin
- whatever spaces there are will be made into dots by the act of blurring and re-sharpening- it will round any cornersscarabin

if i were to attempt something similar, i'd start with a gradient from near white to near black - warped - halftone pattern applied.
i dunno.
- yeah, and then what? the gradient effect is the result of the wavy lines varying in thicknessscarabin

- it's on and unplugged. whoa.version3

just fill a document with a greyscale grad, convert to halftone, convert back to greyscale and start warping until it looks trippy.

Hmm, I probably just need to fiddle with something like this, eh?
http://www.vanderlee.com/plugins…- no, making a halftone gradient would not create that wavy effectscarabin
- the gradient is a side effect of using wavy lines that vary in thicknessscarabin
- <version3
- that plug in actually generates the waves though. Between this and inkpink's reco above, I think we're near.detritus
- no. you need to warp/wave the halftone pattern *after* its been generated...inkpink
- so that the dot size and shape gets tweaked with the warpinkpink

the only hard part is creating wavy lines like that that vary in thickness. then it's just a matter of overlaying them and rounding out the corners by blurring and resharpening

I got something a little closer definitely not there - but may be a direction worth pursuing.
new PS document - 11 x 17 @ 600dpi
gradient from near white to near black
twirl filter approx 70º
halftone pattern size: 5 contrast 32 (adjust however)
twirl fillter approx -130º

take a picture of a cheap screen door then apply halftone pattern in PS

make a halftone dot pattern to your size and then apply the distort > zig zag filter in photoshop.
