CorvusCroax's Junkyard

This one is sort of rebel cruiser - like. I think it's the apparent little red bits of detail. Next version, I'll get much more in the way of paint.
#4

#6

#8 This is the most recent one... although I like it the least. Think I'm going to roll back to the previous version.

i like #6 best, with #8 coming in there also.

#2 Look at those fluffy ice cream clouds.

#4 Salmon Pink, again groovy fluffy clouds

The 'ring' banding is an artifact of the photoshop gradient that I quickly slapped over to provide some quickie shading. It's not actually in the FF output.

Beautiful planets!

very pretty, last two remind me of opals

Wow!

(Shading idea: "One Lunation" has the type of shading mask you can put right over the image map to render the planet with one side in shadow in FF. Or, you can get a similar result from just a plain gradient multiplied onto it. Meaning onto the flat map before it is wrapped around the sphere. Although I figure you already figured that out.)

Oh, I know how to do it, I just don't need it. The project I'm making this for doesn't require shading in the image itself. Maybe will add it later when I release the filter.

That's clever putting it on the pre-sphereized map, though. I was thinking about trying to make it a surface filter, that way I could get more detail of depth into the clouds,maybe. (I'd just do an RGB extract on, then use that to ever so slightly adjust the sphere height map.)

Cool! I'll check it out tonight.

This one shows the multiple noise segments pretty well. There is also a 'Paint' control, which you can see zig-zaging all over the one above. Still need to add lights. Not sure how that will work yet. This is the same filter as the one above.

#4 This is an older one, before I figured out how to separate out the pipes in the color channel. (Props to TheeDee for his boolean snippet!)

#6 Playing w/ the paint. I think I'll hook it up to load a background image as paint.

#8 This one is just sort of fun. It's more pipes than hull. Not sure why it's so very reflective. Hmm....

#10

#13

#15
I definitely like the weird mix of round and pointy shapes in these two.

#17 emperor tomato ketchup

Hi

Absolutely love #16 and #17

Lets hope you release them !!

Very nice, Croax!

Some of the samples remind me of Super-Dimensional Fortress I...

Got some 3D displacement tests?

Hey, thanks for the encouragement!

The gas giant one is essentially done, but I'm probably not going to add much detail beyond what is already there. Maybe just the shadow. The terrestrial planet one I didn't get very far with, but I plan to come back to eventually.

Yeah, number #1 really has a super-macross feel to it. I think it's the color scheme, and the rounded shapes. Actually, with the pipes and detail etc. they all have a kind of 80's-90's anime feel, IMHO. Which is cool.

Not yet. I probably won't get to it before the new year, but soon. I want to add lights to it, which, was fairly complicated last time.

If you'd like, 'dilla, I could email you the filter as-is to play around with. I'd appreciate any feedback you might have.

Ok, I'll shoot you an email later. It's a bit messy still, I'd want to clean it up before posting.
