Other Interesting Ideas

i've ben trying to make a filter that can at least approximate these shapes.

Hmm... doesn't look like a fire, but the shape's close. I'd say it needs some modification with the noise texture if you wanna get it really close.

Here's something else i've been working on.

Here's my second stab at this fire filter. Still can't seem to get the flames stretched out or the botton smooth. But try,try again.

Here's something I put together this morning. 9:00 AM 9/11/2015 PST.

Here's the file. Alien Skin Maybe?

3D Reflective Mottled Texture Snippet Alien Skin.ffxml

Here's the file.

Web-Mycelium (Snippet).ffxml

here's the default preset.

Oh nice! Those textural details are starting to come out!!
I would suggest adding wear and tear to the edges so you can have a cool slider that goes from NEW to OLD or something like that.

Well,here's the first upd ate. The controls are starting to pile up and the render is just a bit slower. Here's the default prese t with new aging option.

Here's another possibility. Old honest Abe.

Oh hey, I think the suggestion worked out.

On the Abe image, I would suggest filtering the image with a median node to remove some of the overkill grain detail observed when filtered. You also don't wanna over do the median filter and murder the details out as well. Pretty nice overall. Good start.

And here's the result.

Thanx Ramlyn! Here's a test. Above Skybase suggested I put a Median component in the filter. So check it out. The image on the left has no Median applied the image on the right has Median set @ 0.5%. I think it would depend on the preset your using just how good it came out.

And here's the source file.

Exterior Building Decorations(With Aging)(And Cracks) #1.ffxml

DJI, is there a reason why the filter's output (For the last one you posted) is very noisy compared to the first couple you uploaded? I'd argue it'd affect the overall output when used in 3D programs. Normals would look very grainy and hard to use. But eh. It's your stuff lol.

Right now I'm working on a cracks filter that blends 2 photo together. See what you think. Here's the background image.

And the result.

Here's the foreground.

Cool and great cracks filter, there was already something similar before but do not know if it was on the library or only on the forum

One idea that came to my mind is to have a photo of a wall inside a room, as foreground, and then the background showing through the cracks may be a space image with nebulas, or a warp tunnel, or something not possible to be there usually

Hi folks. There's something odd going on with this cracks filter I'm working on. I tried to put an ellipse component in the background to see how it would look but when I dragged it out it automatically separated into 4 spheres and I can't find a way to combine them back into 1 sphere. and what's even stranger is that when I copied and pasted the whole filter into a new work area the three-dimensionality of the cracks disappeared. What am I missing here? Here's a screen shot.

Then when you copied and pasted into a new work area the size/pixels defaulted back to original biggest size and not the preset size....So that could make everything look odd if the preset was a custom size....

DJI you are the only one that have had this unusual problem with the elipse or polygon component, it happened exactly the same to me, when I had a filter I made and to get the right main preset I modified the size/pixels, then I copied and pasted a part into another filter and it looked wrong in the same way you have showed and did not know and understand what was happening, until I discovered in the forum that the problem was what CFAndM has told very well here

So I learned then that when you want to copy components from another filter the Size/pixels must be the same in both filters, source and destination

Yes, exactly
