Thanks!

Lots of controls on this one. It's the most complex algorithm I've tried so far. It's really puts a hurtin' on those two cores, gotta get a quad core if I'm gonna keep making filters with that many components! smile:)

crooked? set lumpy head and crooked face to 0, and make sure LookLR and LookUD are around 50. That should give you a symmetrical face, looking straight forward.

I wish there was a way one could put brief usage notes for the controls, maybe as hovering tool tip? I try to name the controls sensibly, but even so, there are a lot of controls on this filter and well, some of them aren't immediately obvious in what they do.

If you click on the NextVariant button and make a completely randomized skull, it will probably make jibberish. The NextVariant button doesn't seem to obey the limits & ranges I set in the controls, so the carefully tuned Offset commands all go wonky.

Here's a couple notes, on the controls:

Bumpy Head: the amt of bumpy surface texture.

Surface Grain: the amt of grainy surface texture.

Lumpy Head: makes the overall head shape misshapen

Crooked face: warps the features. Modest values can be used to make vague facial expressions. Just change the variant until you get an expression you like.

Face Depth: determines how prominent the brow ridge, nose bump, etc. are

Face Harsh: sets how soft or harsh the brow, nose, bump, etc. are

Feature Smooth: rounds over the edges along the eyes, nose, and mouth. Tends to look best at the extreme values, while the middle of the range has a weird outlining effect.

LookUP and LR: moves the features in the skull.

Alien Eyes: zero gives round / oval eyes. Larger numbers makes a more angry look, and becoming weird alien eyes at the maxima.

Nose: higher numbers moves the nose up and makes it longer. Short values push it down and make it more "pug", to the point of disappearing at the extreme low end

Septum: the separator between the nostril, set to 100 for a single nostril.

Smile / Frown: Adjusts the curve of the mouth, but has a shifting side effect, so you may need to adjust the mouth position again after changing the smile / frown value.

Hopefully everything else is pretty straightforward.

----Ha-ha, yeah, I saw "crooked face" there and turned that way down, I missed the "lumpy head" adjustment, and the LookLR and LookUD, I'll havta give those a shot at helping straighten things out. smile;)
