You can safely get rid of the 2nd flip component and use just 1. (Being resourceful!)

Yes,this was helpful.

In regard to the height input, I explained this in a video I made for one of your filters that a height map is always black and white. Therefore, I'm really trying to say here is why not take control of your height map black and white for the sake of artistic control. After making the image black and white, you can always use other means such as levels, curves, and thresholds to give some atheistic control over how the height would look in the end.

You can actually get very very interesting results with height maps. I figure I can try doing some demo with it when I have some more time.

I was also wondering why you weren't using the surface height parameter as often despite it being part of your filter. Out of the 15 presets you got 2 of them where surface height was tweaked. The problem here isn't about how it looks, more about render time. Currently, your first preset takes about 56 seconds to render, where if I make this filter a regular (non surface) filter, the render times go down to less than 4 seconds with minimal difference in output. Since this is a publicly available filter, I think you just need to make the decision on whether to use or not use it.

Buuut that's basically about it!

And Gorbacev without.

Skybase. I have taken your suggestion and updated this filter minus one flip component. And I tryed your trick with the refraction and high pass. That is not what I have in mind for this filter at all. But thanx for the advice.

Hey! Thanx everyone that made this a high rank filter.

Thanx Man!
