That's absolutely the type of filter I'd use for most situations, especially as part of another filter or part of a heightmap. This noise filter is more for using when combined with traditional texturing and you want a noise that surprises you (that's why the extract is great -- the instant black-to-white contrast). It's still sort of fast, but I think the tradeoff in irregularity for time can sometimes be worth it.

This is a specularity map I made using the default presets of mine and your faster version. (The original is on the left.) They're both pretty similar, but I think there's a little more of that natural decay to the slower version.

Hi Mike,

I wanted to thank you for the use of your cool snippet, I used it in my new Sci-Fi Stone Metal filter I posted 2-18-09. It works great. I used it in Selector 2.
Great work!

I will have to check out what Vladimir Golovin sent you, I did not see that.
So much to learn , so little time..

Thanks again. God bless you.

Ron

Really nice Mike.
