Just tried to do this, and was surprised that it doesn't work. I wanted to blur one noise with another noise. Am I missing something, or does this operation present mathematical armageddon which would melt the minds of mere mortals?

Or, maybe.... new feature. (said in my best seinfeld voice)

cheers.

PS> I read dilla's complete feature request diatribe and found naught a mention of my issue. Sorry if this has been mentioned elsewhere.

Please define what "Blurring a noise with another noise" would be? If your asking for a mask controlled blur, that's one of the existing feature requests.

The short answer is Yes smile:)

The variable-radius blur is very slow because we can't use optimizations we use for fixed-radius blurs, and the rendering time increases exponentially as the picture size grows.

so it wouldn't melt our minds... just our CPU.
smile:)

of course if you could flatten to bitmap (non-seamless) one could use such a thing and the operation would only take place at that node.

I'm getting the impression that seamlessness though fabulous comes with a heavy price tag regarding flexiblity and rules out certain functions.

We already do that for our current Blur.

Actually, Blur can be significantly faster when Seamless Tiling is turned on.

I was thinking of rotate, scale, and a few others. Just generally bucking for non-seamless tools. smile:)
