Just tried to do this, and was surprised that it doesn't work. I wanted to blur one noise with another noise. Am I missing something, or does this operation present mathematical armageddon which would melt the minds of mere mortals?

Or, maybe.... new feature. (said in my best seinfeld voice)

cheers.

PS> I read dilla's complete feature request diatribe and found naught a mention of my issue. Sorry if this has been mentioned elsewhere.

Please define what "Blurring a noise with another noise" would be? If your asking for a mask controlled blur, that's one of the existing feature requests.

The short answer is Yes smile:)

The variable-radius blur is very slow because we can't use optimizations we use for fixed-radius blurs, and the rendering time increases exponentially as the picture size grows.

so it wouldn't melt our minds... just our CPU.

of course if you could flatten to bitmap (non-seamless) one could use such a thing and the operation would only take place at that node.

I'm getting the impression that seamlessness though fabulous comes with a heavy price tag regarding flexiblity and rules out certain functions.
