Planned and partially started long time ago, but in the center of my attention only now.

Not a "lamellar", actually. It's "scale armour". "Lamellar" filter temporary is in progress and will be inserted in this one or as standalone filter very soon - just need to fix and check final renders.

Have also a lot of modifications. After they be more stable I'll update the filter with new mods.

Idea for this type of filters is wide and simple - all armours types.

So, everyone interested - take a notice or/and take a part!


Modifications:

Scale Armour. Layers & Dots


Scale Armour. Skin Scales



Thanks, Dilla!

I've seen the links (thanks for them, they're useful). Yes. Such types of armours, forms, materials, patterns and other attributes like on those images are possible and planned.

Here's a work preview of the Lamellar i'm working now ("side to side" if i've understood You properly):

Planned "Snake Scales" as a part of the filter...

apparently, i never answered you, constantin. dont know how i missed this. those are EXCELLENT pics! and to answer, i think i meant on the side to side, having one on top, one on bottom, next on top again, then bottom and an so on. but, the one you posted works, too

D'U mean real animal or fantasy creatures? Anyway, I think, that "Snake Scales" and "Scale Armour's" update will be enough functional to create both variants. Have also small "Frog Skins" collection
