David Roberson - Previews & Experiments

I'm working on a new terrestrial filter, based on my spherical noise, and stumbled into making a nice texture for a Mars-like world. So, I took a break to render it out and finish it in Photoshop as a test render. Once that's posted, I'm back to work!

I killed a few hours pursuing a solution for a problem I finally realized could not be solved without 3D. Ah well. At least I learned a few new things and fixed a few problems that slipped past me. Here's a corrected version of my Earth Lab:

For the most part, Cliff Lab is ready to submit. I just tend to wait a couple of days to do more testing, seeing what problems might emerge as I shuffle through Next Variants. Honestly, I end up doing more work on a filter once I start making presets for the submission than I usually put in getting it built, initially. I've had too many filters that needed updates before they were even visible in the library. It's much easier to post some WIP stuff and do a bit of playing with a filter before putting it into the submit queue. So, you will probably see it in a few more days, if you're interested.

That was preset 02. Here is number 3...

...oh, never mind. It exceeds the 1MB limit. Well, normally I'd convert them to JPG, but I haven't gotten around to replacing Photoshop since my old laptop died and I got a new one. I intended to give in and subscribe to get the current version, but wasn't doing enough art to justify the cost of all the apps I wanted. The package deal seemed worth it, if you're actually going to be using it. Guess it's time to reconsider.

What the heck, I'll just crank up the wetness to 100%...

Have a nice trip! See ya next fall! LOL

Yep. That's exactly what I was expecting to do with it, as soon as I have something like Photoshop available.

How serendipitous! I popped in to share previews of Atmosphere Lab and saw that an early prototype was the subject of my last post to this thread. These are tests of the first ten presets.

Preset 01

Preset 03

Preset 05

Preset 07

Preset 09

I think there are a few changes I might make, another test series, and then I'll send it in to the Library.

(Only after the posts did I realize the "last" post I saw was just the bottom of the first page. My bad!)
