Description
Like peanut butter but suck at math? "what does math have to do w-" Well now you can render all the peanut butter, Nutella (Tm), and Aperture Science (Tm) gels " um, what is th-" you'll ever need, WITHOUT that algebraic hassle!!!*–This lucky find is based on a technique for generating the 2-dimensional gradient of an elevation map. I include both my method and Sphinx's (another FF user). Open the filter editor to see the annotated steps, as well as a depiction of the gradient vector field. If this math-related information does not interest you and you were drawn to this filter purely by the salivating image of peanut butter, please ignore this paragraph. Thank you.–*We are not responsible for any allergic or suspected allergic reaction, tongue swelling, synesthesia, fustration, damage to computer screens, damage to stomach from ingesting computer screens, death, confusion, euphoria, or non-Newtonian physics that this product may induce.***No seamless tiling. :(
