Description
This is a filter I designed for my own use to create materials to use with the freeware sculpting program Skulptris. There is a great filter in the collection by Mike Blackney called Materialiser. It is a cool filter which I use, but I wanted something simpler and a little faster. Mine uses a different approach and focuses on highlight control and adding a second color to allow a more varied patina on sculptures. The finishes tend to be matt to satin surfaces depending on how the highlight is used. There is no high gloss stuff here. I also added some grainy texture for folks who want to use the filter for making fancy spheres or balls. Hope that makes it useful for non 3D folks as well. It is best to use the filter in a square image.
