Landscape

shldnt be too tough. take a stones or cells or one of those types and add some color and then bump map it for the details of the paths. you could even extract the paths from the stones through threshholding.

Sort of like this?

Hey, I use Vue6, too! Check out some of my vue + FF stuff: http://www.filterforge.com/forum/read...4&TID=5530 Look for the pictures on the 2nd or 3rd page for some good examples of some nifty vue materials using offsets.

Is it easy? I'd say it's less complicated and more intutitive than Vue's materials editor. It took me a few days of floundering before I felt like I got a grip on it. The great thing is that you can just download filters other people make, open them up and see how they did it. (It's like a tinker's paradise.)

But if you just want to make distribution maps for mixed materials in vue, then you don't need anything nearly this complicated.

I was messing with this some more and came up w/ this:
(this is turning out kind of cool, I think I'll submit this one.)

Hmm... interesting. I've used cornucopia3d a bit, but I've never sold anything there. Is is it a hasssle to set up?

OK, the filter is submitted to the library. I think it still needs some work, but it's probably good enough for now. If I were to spend more time on this, I'd figure out a better way to do the roads.

It's kind of slow (b/c of all the blending), but you really need to let it render out at full anti-aliasing.

it's alpha.
