Nevermind, I feel silly. Bitmap components don't work with any looping functions. How can I forget?

High Pass should work with Bomber+, and I get a bunch of randomly sized circles in your example.
What is your Size Chaos value? Highpassed Bomber Plus.ffxml |

I disabled the size chaos value, but that's just an example. I wanted to randomize a couple patches of noise via offset per particle. The offseted noise then gets fed into highpass, which is where the issue happens.
So yes, the highpass does work, but not in the way that I'm using. I can post some examples of this if anything. |

How do they say, a picture is worth thousands of words? Please post a filter if you want our testers to look into it.

Here's the example filter with two networks inside. A simple order change seems to fix it but it seems kinda counter-intuitive?

I had to ask Vladimir because it's highly counter-intuitive
![]() First, you were correct in saying Bomber+ doesn't work with High Pass - in the sense that High Pass (like all other bitmap components) strips all meta-data from the slave subtree. The filter will render correctly but Bomber+ won't receive the randomization meta-data from its slaves. However if High Pass doesn't receive any meta-data it has nothing to strip. In your example High Pass only processes Perlin Noise, and the randomization meta-data are injected after High Pass and thus are preserved. Hope this explains! |

That makes sense! Thanks. I basically ran into the problem while constructing my random country map generator. I figured something to do with the order was doing interesting things. As a result of this, I managed to make the image I've attached here.
I also realize there's a brief mention of this in the documentation. Either way, it works. ![]() |
