Simply brillant, only thing I would like see added to this filter is a threshold slider for the image, but good job on creativity, realism, and style smile8)

Thank you, Redcap, really pleased you like it smile:D
About the Threshold slider... where exactly would I place that in the arrangement of plugins? I may just do that for you and update this. Have to update it anyway, I found a misspelling on one of the sliders already (darn if I know how that sneaked itself in there) smile:)

Not quite sure what your question is, if it is where in the order of the controls to order threshold, I don't have a preference. If you are asking how to change the threshold, that is actually on the threshold component itself that you used to get the outline of the image.

Oh, I went in and took a look again. Never noticed the Threshold slider within the Threshold component, so I attached a slider to it so you can manipulate the amount of detail of the image you wish to add or eliminate from the cave's wall art. Hope that's what you meant.

I'm still learning here, probably will for the rest of my life, so bare with me smile;)

And thanks for letting me see I'm not the ONLY one who makes misspellinga and catch them later... it's embarrassing smile:D

You may want to add some re-mapping to the threshold slider because threshold = 100 will be all black and threshol=0 will be nothing, just another thought.

I noticed that... darn, I'm afraid I re-submitted, hope they won't be too upset if I have to send in another update tomorrow too smile:?:

As for remapping the Threshold, could you share with me how exactly do you do that, Redcap? Never done that before but it sure would be useful to know for future applications smile:D

Don't want to clutter your filter post area to much so I will keep it brief. If you create a slider component and double click the slider itself you will see a box that says remap, click this box and the connection between the slider and the component (in this case the thre connection at the threshold) will box out. Click this new box and it will have a minimum and a maximum value, this allows you to set the range of a filter. A perfect example that you can look at is liquid, it is a filter that is automatically in your filter library and it uses remapping quite well. Hope that helps. Oh, and if you want a slider to work backwards you put the minimum as the large number and the maximum as the smaller number. Quite fun.

May want to play around with the smoothness feature of the threshold component on this filter, may yield some fun results.

One last thing, may want to get ride of cave wall brightness and contrast control, because this can be achieved with the lighting function already. The lighting function is found on the filters control panel at the top (there are tabs, presets, controls, lighting, ...) Play around with the lighting if you want a lighter darker picture and it makes your filter quicker and less cluttered. Hope that helps.

Thank you so much for the extra help!
I'll go try this and see what I can learn before re-submitting another re-submit later tonight smile;)

Excellent idea. I'd recommend to fine-tune the lighting, the height map and the Contrast control.

Thank you for your suggestion as well, Vladimir smile:)

I have resubmitted this filter again with some adjustments and renamed a few sliders, appropriately I hope.

When I removed the Brightness and Contrast I felt (as an artist) I lost some control and effects that I just could not get exactly as I wanted with the tab for the built-in Lighting controls alone, so I kept them in place.

But, if you have any further suggestions that maybe I'm just not quite grasping the importance of, please, by all means let me know. It takes a while for my brain to get all this working where it makes sense to me, hehehe. Believe it or not, when I walk away from working on one of my filters I have to relearn what I did all over again when I come back to it smile:D

Well, I'm starting to finally understand this thing with Brightness/Control verses Simple and Surface filters. Hope there's still room for learning because I'm still actually tinkering with this in the hopes of speeding it up some more smile:D

Really!?! Where, I can't see anything there that looks like a .... "Spider!!!"

Actually I like spiders, not to pet or play with, of course, just to watch when they spin their lovely webs. Amazing something so beautiful and delicate comes from such a scary looking creature smile:D

You can't see him in that one too well, so let me do it in one of the other presets.

They are great to watch, but the one that tried to bite me yesterday got his life taken.

He doesn't show up with the Caveman filter, but he does in the Fossil one. Here's some 'piders for you.

I even got Vladimir to come out of the shadows long enough to comment on it... well, offered me advice, which I am learning to apply only now, I'm afraid. Better late than never I guess smile:D

Ever since I got bit by a black widow I have been real uncomfortable about being bitten by spiders. I had to have surgery and drugs for over a month. I got very sick from it.

Daddy longlegs are bad here on the west coast? Back east I always played with them. Let them crawl on my hands and stuff.

Daddy Longlegs up in Oregon


Now there's a great filter name... smile;)

"Daddy Longlegs"

Just finished using this filter. Very nice~

I've noticed that if you go in the lightings tab and turn the surface height 'down to zero' ... then back to the Size,pixel and turn the size 'all the way up' ... that you can achieve a marble or paper look depending on the preset and the image.

Oh no, Ahimsa. Sorry, I only meant that Black Widows are as abundent down here as Daddy Longlegs are in Oregon... but NOT that Daddy Longlegs are dangerous... nope, nope, nope smile;)

Hehe, I use to play with them too... funny how we both liked critters, even spidies when we were growing up smile:D

I guess you better jot that one down on your list of Filter Titles too, Persidio. It would be interesting to see what sort of filter you might make with that name too smile:)
Oh, and 'thanks' too smile;)
