03 looking better - got most of the components in place. haven't tried controls for mixing them. steel 'material' still needs some work.

04 AO render. Using similar settings as above. Just changing the steel color and making the rust go up instead of down. Getting some clipping of the basic shape in th rusted areas.

06 different test pattern.
blurring the steel makes it look a bit too much like a layer of tin foil. Should probably stop doing that and add som micro texture instead. Like how the rust collects in the corners of the surface. Note how the rust is on the bottom side of the shape - using derivative for this.

08 cleaned up the material transitions a bit: had originally had bump, spec, metallic, etc. all lining up exactly the same way. Now they are offset from on another. Steel material needs some love. It's too clean and perfect. Thinking that might want to have a slider for shiny steel vs dirty steel.

Might be nice to have an overall control for some dents and scratches.

The skull textures on your first two samples look really good!!! smile8)

I can see the problem on the "B" in the first sample and the "D"s in the first two samples....gradient not taking in those areas to map texture.....don't know how you have the filter set up, but suggest that maybe some kind of lite pre-gradient be aplied over entire image to create the differenciation so the texture maps in those areas.....

Nice work!!! smile8)

Messing around w/ pipes a bit. Learned something about the 'roughness' part of noise nodes: normally, i add a tone curve to noise. However, this doesn't work the same way if you are using roughness/details.... which is nice to know. Gives very different results.

Messing around w/ Cutline Filter (v12!) Trying a very different approach. Still not happy with it yet. Still too fussy and doesn't look enough like a true cutline. But using some clever curve stuff to make it better...

More Cutline (v13) ...
Spent some time looking really closely at some old victorian images.

Using totally different (different) approach based on the transform nodes. Think this is a better direction. Need to add crosshatch.

Hi CorvusCroax,

Always liked a crosshatch type filter.
Looks good so far. smile;)

I used to work with a man for many years, who did the
inking on a lot of the Spider Man Comic books.

Have a GREAT day! smile:)

So, was watching TV and noticed a couple places where the show had blueprints. Came up with a blueprint filter. Check it out:

It has nice controls. The borders all snap to the edges and can be easily shrunk and expanded. It has a grid which fills in where - ever there is a nice featureless area. Blueprint4:

I'll post it later. It probably needs someone else to test it, so I'd appreciate some feedback. (think it has too many controls as the moment.)

I'd like to also see if my horizontal / vertical line detector could be used to make the nice line extensions at the corners. (Those little areas where lines that cross extend past the interesection a bit.)

Ron-
Yeah, I'm just old enough to remember using the blueprint machine. We had one at school. Such stinky tempermental things. I don't miss them at all either.

Hey, that's neat redcap. It's designed to wash out any featureless background.
I've found it works best with drawings and fairly non-perspectival images.
Did you have any comments on the filter operation?

Hi Manifold:

Nope- don't mind at all. Btw, I posted that filter here : straight line finder filter
I never submitted it b/c I thought it was too non-intuitive and didn't look so hot in the previews.

eww... why are the images all stretched?

Anyway, this is interesting, but it works best circular patterns. Straight lines seem to get severely stretched.
