Description
Simplest Chainmaille is a *very fast* rendering filter that creates a 4X chainmaille design. The controls are pretty self explanatory, and there are 20 presets included. Note - This filter uses the same basic offset tile and profgrad technique as Constantin Malkov's well known 'Chain Mail' filter. I figured out how to do a simpler 4X design before he updated his to also do that look, and mine is 2% different, so it may still be worthwhile to some users. But really, Constantin did chainmaille first with FF and the credit for 51%+ of this filter goes to him without a doubt. Note : Updated version changes = Changed the 'Low' control to read 'Ring Color', and removed the Height input threshold to correct the normal maps (thanks to Crapa for that suggestion).
