I've been racking my brain tring to figure out how to properly separate parts/levels of an image from the effect in my "HeavyMetal" filter. For example below, I would like to separate the rose so that I can run the effect just up to the outside edge of it and be able to control the amount of "growth" that I run through it. Jffe's "Metal Melt" does what I am looking to do with the threshold, but I'm having difficulty applying it to this filter.
Any help would be greatly appreciated 
Here is the filter and the example pic..... http://www.filterforge.com/filters/2467.html  Steve

Thanks Uber
As you can probably tell, I'm just starting to learn how to use multiple branches.....

You guys are totally awesome!!! .....from the left aorta.....the one that pumps love
 LOL.....
Funny how it works with me.....I can quickly find a simple solution to CF's leafs.....but then I get dumbfounded with threshold and set alfa.....don't figure.... One last itsy-bitsy question.....is there a way to get rid of those pesky height ridges.....or do you have to live with them?  Steve

Although I think that they do add atistic character, I was thinking that a totally "clean" and smooth metal surface may be used for more 'professional' applications.....
I believe that they are a result of the height being set to max.....so I don't know if this is possible..... Steve

----Hmm, I dunno. I've had luck with angelboi's 100 Reflectivity - 33.33 Reflection Blur - 100 Metallic settings, but those are somewhat height dependant, and always seem to introduce height curves in the image. Maybe experiment with using inputs for those 3 settings, the metallic part goes *soft* a bit, but maybe increasing the lighting Brightness/Sat settings with the right HDRI map selected could work. jffe Filter Forger |

Ah, I didn't think of that.....a 1 frequency bounce or impulse just might work.....and maybe the light might be it too.....since it is the byproduct of it with height. I going to check that out right now.....
Thanx jffe, I really appreciate it Steve
