2 fractals put together: Agamograph #2

Made big progress today, ended up changing the circular agamograph to a single "impossible" image, with each slice skewed to make it appear the picture is folded. Also it tiles well even without matching edges since the folds match up.

It is quite outstanding what you dream up... I am quite awestruck by your creations... What can I say? Thanks heaps for adding such very interesting material.

The yellow rose gets Offset Twisted.

Just when I thought that was it...there's more from you!
Opening new portals into the universe... tell you what, I'm almost persuaded to have a go at creating a filter myself seeing all this awesomeness!
However, my brain doesn't seem to jump into that gear just yet, I'm more a filter user than a filter creator

Definate fun..

one more tree for the day...

Using a modified version (added reflective maps) of the Surface Texture Engine, here is what the output looks like adding "texture". I turned on all the maps, this adds a lot to the render time, ambient and reflective occlusion are time hogs. So only turn on what you need.

Read the About for which channel and controls to use. I've posted the whole screen here so you can see what's going on.

I will be posting a modified version of the Surface Texture Engine later which will allow the reflective and metal maps to be generated instead of the constant value they are now.

Thanks for sharing this. I do have a couple of questions. First I am using FF 6.010 so am not sure if I am suppose to get a list of the maps on the bottom of the screen where it says Saver Image As as seen in your example. I might have to download them from the Filter and then under Render Maps correct?

The second question is how do I get rid of the Lifesaver background image in the Surface Texture Engine. I tried setting the Alpah to 0 but as soon as I load in the Travertine image the texture of the Lifesaver appears in the image. I am loading the Travertine image from the File then Open Image.

Thanks again for your help I am making some headway and could see were this Surface Texture Engine would be helpful but I just need to get it all working.

Hi I really appreciate you putting this together. But I think I forgot to mention that this is all new to me. I just tired to use the Help to figure out scripts but keep getting an error message. I know I am doing something wrong because I don't have a clue about how to use this script except for what I spent an hour trying to make it work. I really do want to have fun but you need to treat me like a novice when it comes to Filter Forge.

Thanks

Thank for what you have done already. I did not mean for this to get complicated. I will go through the FF help file and see if I can figure it out. And you are correct I have been learning Blender 3D and it calls for what you call the output maps. The maps most used are the Displacement map or what is called the color map, the normal map and the gloss or roughness map. The normal map and bump map are very similar some belief that the normal map add more detail. But I am still learning all this as well.

Thanks for sharing with me this Surface Texture Engine and if all else fails I will just upgrade to FF 7.

More fun with CFandM's tree code with my own mods and additions. Today, 8 color gradient.

So Many Trees.

Thanks Erica! Here's another detail, So Many Trees#8 detail

Thank you SpaceRay for the compliment I'll show you the originals, I felt the details were better on both, the full images were too "busy". Here's Too Many Trees #4.

Something different, an early design prototype for the Day of the Dead. A lot of fancy filling to do still...

UPDATE: more done on the filter, still tons to do...
