I like that with the *inset* layer, nice.

nice one, KG. i'd certainly use it if i were doing 3d texture stuff of that kind.

I TOTALLY agree jffe!! I actually put in some stuff at one point to see how things lined up but I couldn't figure out a way to do them properly so that you could adjust them just right to fit where desired.

Should I just wimp out and toss in some fixed size rivets? I'd hate to do that because you lose the somewhat solid randomization the filter offers. That's one thing I hate seeing in filterforge- this texture that looks great but is very inflexible. It happens a lot with the real fancy filters, where the author had to sacrifice flexibility for the sake of making it look good. That's why you'll never see a "hue adjustment" in my filters- I don't want to restrict people from choosing the color they want. And typically I always tweak things so that if you want you can remove entire elements (i.e. sliding the height to zero on this one removes that specific feature). I've got some stuff in the works for a future version that makes the grunge more realistically fill in the dark corners and not be so promienent in the large empty spots.

To note- I really want to perfect this bugger, so please critique and criticize away- it's my best hope for EP. Once I get that I'm probably through submitting Already got my 5 HU and some people don't seem to like me here so no sense in stickin' around.

I must say that this one is pretty frick'n good.....excellent patterns and form reliefs.....the best rust (and mapping) that I've seen here to date.....should be an instant Editor's Pick!!!

This is a filter that is creating ideas for new images, which is a senior status to a filter that is merely needed for creating images.
Besides, I like it.

Most wonderful!!!

nice pic, dilla!

looks like something out of Doom 3, doesnt it some experimental vat thing.

yes, but i dont see any laser sharks

All things aside..... .....this one should definitely be an EP!!!

Vlad, I think this one slipped through the EP cracks.....it's without a doubt one of the best (and most realistic) metal form filters here.....and by far the best rust and mapping of any filter I've seen!!!

----When he adds rivets. And speeds it up 10%-20%. Then I second this EP vote for sure.

Personally, I kinda like this without rivets because it's so "heavy".....so rivets kinda don't go with it, IMHO.....but maybe four heavy-duty bolts in each corner might work.....or a weld bead just around the outside edge might look pretty good for when it is tiled.....

It doesn't run that bad on my machine.....and there are other EP metal filters that are much slower than this one.....

I have to confess.....this filter is the one that I've modded the most from here for my personal use.....so thanx!!!

Hey, where's the EP on this badboy???

Am I persistent or what!!!

that's one word for it

i take it this is not a covert mission

Congrats on the EP!!! It definitely deserves it.....and it's a great "showcase" work to promote what this program can do!!!

LOL.....

I wish that I could make all my ideas and suggestions happen like that here.....we'd all be in an FF 3D world......creating our 3D walk-through texture shops (maybe something like Second Life).....cornering the texture market....and making lots of money for both ourselves and FF on a royalty-split basis (gotta pay FF rent for creating it and giving authors the means, eh???).....

LOL.... It's really not as bad as you think with some of the programs out there nowadays.....and in regard to FF, I also think it would make things more interesting, engaging, and fun.....just like it is over at Second Life.....
