Gooey by TulipVorlax

HEY! I love this. I really love abstract filters. I've used your Organic filter a few times too.

Thanks, it's really appreciated.

This one is the best i'de done so far, using what i learned from the wiki. But it seems i will have to read it again because the filters that i worked on after this one arent doing so great.

Per exemple, i'm trying to do a texture that would be similar to one that was in Bryce 3D librairy some year ago. A texture i used in the following 3d render :

I want to reproduce that 3D scene in Blender using Cycles, but i want the cylinders to have more details, layers, instead of been so flat. I tried to use normal map from Filter Forge, but the simulation of the surface details is never that great, i might start looking into displacement map, or truly do the details on the mesh.

That cube you just made with this gooey texture, in what software was it done ?
Since i saw it earlier today, i want to try to "make a better one" or so, using most of the map Filter Forge can produce in the node editor of Blender. I will post my results here.

Yeah, that simulation 3D effect is really nice, but it only do spheres, if i understand this fully. And i dont have the ability to "adapt" it to another shape.

In the image i posted, i was only referring to the texture of the "cylinder", not their shape and position. If you want to know, there is only 6 cylinders that a quarter of each of them is inside a cube with a "fully reflective" material. The camera is also inside the cube with some lights sources.
I manage to reproduce the layout in Blender, but the texture i set on the cylinders was procedurally generated by Blender Cycles nodes. I even was able to make it emit some light. That opended up the door to some ideas...

Since then i tried to do a filter in FF that if done right, i could use one of the maps to tell Blender that a part of it emit light. I also searched the librairy and after trying many "techno" textures, i decided to try that one to see what it will look like :

About the gooey cube, i had to have some sleeping, but before that i saved a file of each map that wasn't a solid color. With Cycles, to get good results, it can take a lot of rendering time. Some of my recents tests renders have taken as much as 10 to 15 hours. So see you later.

EDIT : I forgot to say that i have Paint.Net installed, but i never used it much.
