very nice, photo-realistic slate! i like your use of the elevation gradient in the end, good idea.
while you have the switch in there, it would be cool to have some more 'traditional' pavement types as well, for instance square tiles or even one big hunk of stone. of course you could do that as another filter, mapping the texture to the bevel and mortar width to get some nice tile effects 
good one! |

slate and other stone has come into high fashion these days in the building industry, mostly for counter tops and that sort of thing. thus, i'd love to see a smooth, polished version of this. Ya can't sell art to artists!

yes, steve. slate can have all sorts of colors and 'veins'. it's also not uncommon to leave it slightly unpolished. that rough look works well on outdoor planter types and stone fencing tops/caps. Ya can't sell art to artists!

Exactly......I've only used this filter for outdoor walks, patios, and fireplaces.....the textures are perfect......but too rough for indoor floors......which is what i think you want..... Steve

Another update is incoming. I fixed a minor problem and radically changed the default and all other presets.

The new default preset, which I think is more interesting and representative of this filter... coming tomorrow, I guess! --- Crapadilla says: "Damn you, stupid Mac beta!" |

Dilla, the filter looks amazing, I especially like this one.
However, the update keeps blocking our rendering queue -- it takes too long to render. Is there a way to speed it up? |

Yup, I've already requested for the update to be removed. I'll submit a much faster version once it's gone from the queue.
The slow rendering speed is due to a fix I had to introduce for the 'De La Robia Weave' bond type to look good. I didn't expect that this modification would increase rendering time that drastically. In the next update, I'll have to deactivate the 'De La Robia Weave'. Edit: I've found a way to speed it up drastically while still maintaining 90% of the original detail. Expect an update soon! --- Crapadilla says: "Damn you, stupid Mac beta!" |
