you've got six perlins and two stones in there. that's slowing things down significantly. you've also got redundant blends and dont need the hue/sats at all. the perlins and stones arent necessarily bad or worthless, but if you can cut those back, maybe combine some of the effects from two perlins into one, that would help. the hue/sats arent needed because just before those instances you have perlins with color controls, so why make a hue/sat right after that when you can already control the color with the perlin color controls? losing all of that shld still keep your filter fairly well the same as it is now. if you want more, you could lose the switching of effects and put one switched side into a new filter.

attached is a revision of the filter without actually revising it. sounds weird, doesnt it smile;) just look at the main body of the filter and then at the components i've moved way above or way below the main body. those components are the ones that shld be possible to remove without any detrimental effects. the perlins and stones i didnt touch in this revision, but that's somethign that could be worked on.

you're welcome, but i dont guarantee anything. those proposed changes were not actually tested by me; it was just something that seemed to be right. so, take it with a big grain of salt smile:)

To be honest yours loaded faster, but I had a very hard time seeing what you did because you moved it all around, mine was in perfect order! But i did however make note of all the things you removed and did so myself, did you add anyhthing? Or was that it just a few removes? Anyhow Ill submit an update soon, thanks for the BIG help!

huh? how could mine load faster? i didnt add or remove anything. lol. surely, just rearranging the components wouldnt have serious speed effect?

well, whatever it was, you're welcome smile:)
