I was also wondering how this would look with the patterns in relief....rounded on a flat background.....with different textures like metal, chrome, pourus, sponge-like, etc......

Sjeiti sock puppet Posts: 722 Filters: 71	Relief is difficult... I tried of course. But I didn't want to resolve to using blurs so I kept it a simple filter. Maybe I'll try a 2nd version with relief.

StevieJ Designer/Artist Posts: 11264 Filters: 163	I was thinking that just using gradient profiles would do it without the blurs.....like in the bar/cage filters..... Don't get me wrong.....what you have here is really cool.....I'm just always curious to what else can be done with different concepts Steve "Buzzards gotta eat...same as worms..." - Clint :)

Sjeiti sock puppet Posts: 722 Filters: 71	Well I tried (without blur) and I couldn't get satisfied. Thing is the branches are made up from even patches, hard to use as height input. I'll try some more...

StevieJ Designer/Artist Posts: 11264 Filters: 163	If you are really interested in pursuing this.....try using the gradient profiles with the separation method that Ronviers uses in his "Orb" filters......should work nicely This filter really sparks some creative thoughts.....like I was also thinking of a metallic thorn scape..... Okay, okay......I'll stop LOL.... Great filter!!! Steve "Buzzards gotta eat...same as worms..." - Clint :)

Kraellin Kraellin Posts: 12749 Filters: 99	always interesting what attracts. i like this one, too. but, i'd keep the current default. it has good contrast and good definition to an interesting pattern. If wishes were horses... there'd be a whole lot of horse crap to clean up! Craig

Sjeiti sock puppet Posts: 722 Filters: 71	presets are switched and pending... Ojeah... Stevie... the other reason I didn't make it a surface is because the stones component only has two formulas. That might seem as irrelevant since this filter uses only cells. But as some of you might have noticed: a flat, solid fill cell component matches contours with the flat stone component (you can also make stones out of two cells). That stone could of course be perfect for height but you'd lose half the possibilities because of the formulas.

StevieJ Designer/Artist Posts: 11264 Filters: 163	Yeah, maybe combined with Uber's "Cracked" approach might help to acheive it with profiles.....if he would post it up..... http://www.filterforge.com/forum/read...4&TID=4385 Steve "Buzzards gotta eat...same as worms..." - Clint :)

StevieJ Designer/Artist Posts: 11264 Filters: 163	Nice!!! Kinda the same suggestion on that last one..... .....maybe use relief to make the crack edges look like they are peeling up......with maybe a grout texture in the cracks like you used in your "Delfts blauw" filter......
