I have seen this and is really surprising the results you can get, really strange and weird, although I would not call them "nightmarish", what kind of nightmares do you have ? smile:D

I think that better would call it:

Alien Landscape Generator

or Science Fantasy Weird textures generator

or if you want to be "nightmarish" --> " The killer tree roots invaders generator" smile:D as this for me looks like the base image is invaded and replaced the content by a giant tree roots killing what was before there.

OR also the Tree Vulcano lava generator, as it looks like also like the original image has been covered by layers of tree branches of lava.

Sorry, for the bad jokes smile;)

Please, could you explain more how this works ? I mean how to prepare the base image to get the best results ?


Thanks very much

HAHAHA indeed i struggled to find a name.

As for how it works...the first two colors are for gradient tint and noise. They also effect the threshold. There are options for scale, stretch, inversion at various levels, etc. All these work together to make a composite blended image derived from the two tinting colors, the source image Lightness / Brightness and finally color tinting after processing with various blending and noise styles. As for the base image, images with good amounts of contrasting colors & lightness / darkness contrast are the best. All that depends of course on how you want the result to look. This filter really is not so much a distortion of the source image, as it is a noise distortion, with the noise, contrast, saturation & roughness controlled by the image and the colors. This i blended with the noise as a derivative output fed into the other components to yield very stark and disturbing looking effects.

Does that make sense?
