Filter Forge - Could anyone advise me on how to create radiating lines?

Tako Yakida Posts: 7	Hello people! I've been using Filter Forge for about a week, and I am loving it. Today I started a project making hair for 3D models. I can make wavy strands no problem using a noise gradient, profile gradient and noise distortion, but I'm having trouble with the scalp area, where the hair radiates out. Anyone have any ideas about how to make it radiate? Thanks in advance!

Leaf By Design Part of this filter comes from Un-Spherify Then here is the part that does the distortion only..... Radiant.ffxml Stupid things happen to computers for stupid reasons at stupid times!

Even quicker you can eliminate the tone curve in the filter I posted above.....I forgot there is no need for that tone curve.. Stupid things happen to computers for stupid reasons at stupid times!
