Using FilterForge and Xara

[wizard509]

It looks a little undercooked; use the Outdoor Grill Filter and turn it up to 5 for about 3 minutes. -g

Maybe it might make good fish bate.

Do you know what time it is, Larry?


It's time to quit kidding Frances!

It's not the best example, but it does show how with two tree choices (or two Layers as she makes the analogy), you got yourself a very complex pattern, courtesy of the Perlin pattern.

Ok it does look a little gruesome (Maybe it would be useful in October! ) anyway both examples were created with the same simple filter tree I showed above I only changed the results node to surface and plugged the perlin nose component into both the height and colour slots and changed the colours and added a bit of reflectivity (this setting along with reflection blur and metalic is found on the result component after you switch it to surface.)

[Gare]

I really like the component that gives the underlying values a shiny look.

I'll bet you could make reflective spider webs and solder (like nailing down elements on a circuit board) by using a different Perlin instance or perhaps a different underlying geometry?

[angelize]

yes you could, the perlin noise is just one of about 6 different types of noise that Filter Forge has. The techo noise has a lot of squared corners and I've seen some very realistic filters in the filter library that make use of it to create circuitry and other interesting surfaces.

[wizard509]

OK Gare, I'll quit kidding Frances maybe. But I shall continue to joke with and kid Rik.

[angelize]

That's ok Larry I understand that you guys were all just kidding If I seemed quiet yesterday afternoon it was just because I was busy.

Frances I bet your under cooked lunch might look great behind some stained glass.

[angelize]

Lol!
