Simple Gawthic Grates.

The white background is *transparent*. Are the designs too simple ? Is the metal flecked look alright ? Anyone, anyone, Bueller, Bueller ?

Yup, looks good and useful!

----The next 'grates' filter has some sort of grunge/rust on it.

----Well, fair enough on the first part as the 2nd 2 have no 'surface texture' added. I would tend to somewhat disagree about the 2nd 2 not having a 'gawthic design', but I can also see them not being any more and possibly less 'gawthy' than the 1st 2, so no arguement to be had really ha-ha.


----Thanks again for looking and the comments all, more grates or whatever, tomorrow.

----You're welcome. And show us some examples (here or in a seperate thread, whatever works) when you get it put together.

I would have to agree with Carl on those two..

----There ya go, that's how I was seeing them, but apparently we have some texture/non-texture biased people here ha-ha

----Thanks, and ya confused me there for a second, but then I recalled some wild cutout wooden cabinet doors from some movie, and I think I know what you meant.


----Thanks all for the comments. Overall, I don't have a preferrence, but I was pretty happy with the flecked metal look myself, I wanted something kind of different than the usual perlin noise surface stuff I'd seen, so there ya go.

----Hmm, ya know, I've not been too thrilled with the 'wood' filters I've seen on FF, I even did a boring hardwood finish one that went LU and I dumped. I think it would take the right kind of wood texture to make it work with the more intricate patterns. Yer way ahead of me though, good eye.

hey, if put enought virtual wood stain on it, you dont have to worry too much about the virtual wood grain

jffe, that last round of samples is looking REALLY good!!!

I agree.....it's definitely a pain to try to create more than one control parameter.....alot of time-consuming trial and error.....

I think these grates are really good.....very interesting patterns and detail flares.....I haven't seen anything like them before......

Been there, done that......nightmare.....
