Noise Lab

and this one is somewhat unique.

four components all in all, perlin is the base and it is at zero roughness and details.. can you figure it out? (note that this one definitely exceeds the limits of good practice, and no..there's no blur, hint hint)

Good one..... My guess is that it is two perlins and two offsets.....

Do I win??? LOL.....

Aight!

Your prize: Sphinx will thoroughly optimize the crap out of your buffers!

It would be Levels or threshold cause a couple of others need curves - so I'll go with levels

It's a trick question.....Sphinx said it had four components "in all"

Okay......it has to be something that regenerates.....so my next guess is refraction......

No one touches my buffers......because even the slightest change would bring my computer down like a house of cards..... ......

Now I am scared!

actually, that's mine. and it got lost for a bit. i went looking for it again last night and finally found it. my numbering system for filters goes 1, 1a, 1b, 1c, etc. but sometimes i go back to an earlier filter and work on it instead of carrying on. when i do that, a filter then becomes 1b1, 1b1a, 1b1b and so on. and that's all fine and well, but sometimes i also start moving filters out of 'my filters' when i get too many of the same one there. i do that in windows explorer. i had forgotten to look for those branch lines of filters and just moved out a whole block. the red and metal splats ones got moved out. that's why i couldnt find it when dilla asked me about it again. lol. so, i went through EVERY single filter and preset last night looking for this thing and couldnt find it. it finally dawned on me that i had moved it to a copy folder. duh!

the name of the filter is 'mars lander'. it started out as a sort of alien planet surface effect type filter and also a noise experiment due to this thread. and no, i dont have any plans to release it any time soon. it's a VERY undisciplined filter at the moment, plus i've not been releasing very many filters till i see what vlad is going to do with the new EULA, if there is going to be one.

I submitted the filter yesterday.. so it should in today. As said there are few additional components in that one, but there is a switch which hooks up the four component chain..


Edit:

Here's the filter

and here's another, same filter:

#2

hehe, yeah, i dont know either melted chrome?

#2

#4

#6

Yeah, they are all from the same filter.....sort of a noise blend generator that I threw together to do some mad scientist experimentation.......

I'm kinda liking #4 and #6 for some further pursuit.....

Well, it wouldn't be much fun if we agreed on everything all the time, eh???

I think we agree that this is an interesting area with alot more to be discovered.....and bombers will make it even more interesting.....

yup, diversity is the spice of life

no, actually i paid him to say that

ok, just to tease dilla and sort of as a lark, i threw in a couple of kaleidoscopes to this 6 perlin filter. i was pleased

Nice!!! I like the glass in that one, Craig!!!

Steve, I want that filter!

Craig, Mars lander still has a pitted stone look, but the rest I would never have guessed started out there. Your kaliedescope thread would definately get visited by me. Do it

yes, dilla got me playing with noises. mars lander was from scratch, though. the later ones i mentioned using 6 perlins were all from a modded 'pitted stone'. and just yesterday i added two kaleidoscopes to it for the patterns.

and as for the 'kaleidoscope lab', well, i'm kinda pulling dilla's leg on that one but, it might be fun. have you ever done a sequence of kaleid's, all in row, each modding the last one? that can get pretty weird. and on the modded pitted stone, i added two kaleids, one for the surface and one for height to keep it consistent.

Weird, Mars is the only one that looks like pitted stone and it's not and the rest don't look like they could ever have come from pitted stone.

Yep, I do two and three kaliedscopes in a row for many of my filters. I like the results better than with just one.
