Building gen by dactilardesign

Enjoy, I am really proud of this one!

* it's a bit slow, but could be worse
* FF2 has a bug wich won't render at 1024 or higher (at least in my computer)
* Next iteration may bring random wood and window texture but that may slow down a lot the filter (right now windows are clones).
* Not worth an Editor's Pick

Really nice!

In terms of practicality, I'd make each item like a component rather than having the render fully generate 1 entity.

Hello, I changed the Filter so I could generate Normal Maps and the other Maps.

Awesome little Filter Thank You

Mike

Oh ya TOTALLY awesome Filter..

Takes it awhile but the results are really worth it..

building gen in progress

it is really slowwwwwwwwwwww
but sooooooooo welllllllll wooorrtthhhhh it.


Thanks for the filter, after looking at the mass of all the dohickys you amassed to make this filter I just went wow..

I can not remember the artist i think its from Deviantart web site

I was trying to duplicate how he did it

I guess I will have to make it in Lightwave and create a few million pipes and greebles to reproduce it, would love to make differant variations of it

I really W I S H, Filterforge would go GPU using the cuda core tech, then it would rip these out really fast, have 4 760GTx cards with 4 gig ram each, 1000 times more powerful than my CPU's. I use Octane Render and its cuda supported...

Wishing they would get away from CPU and go GPU...... I am dreaming again..

I figured out a faster way of rendering out your filter, 1024x1024 renders fast
IF I go 1024x8192 then it takes a long time, I let it cook while I am at work..

Looks very noisy. How does it render?

Its a quick render
did not have all the parameters set like Diff and spec and reflection etc etc

the normal map looks noisy only did a 5 aa pass, normally I do 25aa pass

if you could update this filter it would be a A W E S O M E filter

3DCGMODELER:

Neat!

You should have a separate normal channel for the noise map given the level of noise it produces. AA at higher rates won't help given how it behaves. The quick brute-force remedy is to use median/blur to smooth the noise out, or otherwise reconstruct a portion of the filter's height generation with a more subtle and more suitable noise generator for bump creation.

Also, what I saw = probably work in progress or just a really rough draft but I'm kinda one of those people who just wanna say something anyway. So here's my thought: base level needs a separate window - room setting given those windows are pretty large... so that'd let sneaky people in. Simple thought: windows should probably stay above human height and for any windows below have secured windows.

Cheers.
