----Cool, glad yer still having at that 3-D technique, I think yer getting places with it, at least now that you've got it slimmed down more. Someday, the makers of that old Viewmaster toy may sue ya ha-ha.

----Thanks, not sure how it came up with that particular shape, but most of my stuff is set up to make random asymetrical type designs, and that *snail* looking thing fits the bill better than I usually manage ha-ha.

----I'ma go take another run through the presets and see if I can find anything to add or tweak. I'll try and just post version 1 of it tonight anyways, so anyone who gets as bored as me over the weekend can check it out. Thanks for the bumps guys.

oh, that's cool, jffe

I imagine that animated, liquid metallic... would look awesome. I have a certain positive predisposition to the word "Baroque", so I'm all too happy you're using it — and for a frame, no less! I like frame effects a lot to accent existing textures.

i've got a name for you too, jffe... 'Vortex' or 'Metal Vortex'. reminds me of a tornado looking at it from the top down.

----It doesn't work so much on that snail/conch shell looking main preset, but on the others, try checking the *Surface Map Invert* box. I usually put one of those on any surface/3-D filter I make, it's just an invert module with an on/off before the height input on the output module. You can flip/adjust the inward/outward edging of the shape(s) then. It doesn't always work exactly like it seems it should, but it can definitely offer a bit of a change of perspective regardless.
----Anyways, thanks for the bumps people, and feel free to post pics of any weird shapes you come up with using it.

----That sounds more like something CF could do justice to, or maybe he can take this one and make it swirlier and more vortexing ha-ha, he's the swirl ninja or jedi or whatever, and I'm sure he could do a proper vortex.
