Filter Forge - Substance Designer (4.6) Levels component

Skybase, you've recommended this program, and I see why, but how does one build the same threshold that exists here in FF for a start? (2 images attached) My approach is to use the levels component, create 4 'Input Parameters' that can be called via the function controls in the 'Specific Parameters' Values ('Levels In Low', 'Levels In Mid', 'Levels Out Low', and 'Levels Out High') in the levels component. No problem, I get the same threshold and smoothing (with a custom f(x)) as here in FF, yea! But now to have it also accept image input for the control of all 4 parameters? I have succeeded in getting an 'FX-Map's 'Sample Color' node to work, but I can't seem to get 'Sample Color' to work in the Levels' function map. I'll probably go to pester someone there with this, but in the mean time... _____________________________________________________ http://web.archive.org/web/2021062908...rjadesign/ _____________________________________________________

I do know how to 'Set as Output Node', etc. My problem is a black output image that doesn't behave correctly, like it did when I had sliders for the 4 variables instead of images. My guess is that it has something to do with the alpha in the color mode, but in grayscale mode there is the same problem. _____________________________________________________ http://web.archive.org/web/2021062908...rjadesign/ _____________________________________________________

I think this might help: http://legacy-support.allegorithmic.com/node/731 I've had some fun with Grasshopper + Lightwave _____________________________________________________ http://web.archive.org/web/2021062908...rjadesign/ _____________________________________________________
