Yes,friends, & abstract metal brothers.
Which remindes me, I gotta get back into it!

Hey Carl,
The rock has a nice texture, looking good.

Everyone have a GREAT day!

Ron

ya know, i saw that too, carl. almost a petrified wood or bark. it's an older filter from back in the dilla noise lab days. i mostly just added AO to it to give it the new look, though i'm playing with several of those rock filters and may redo from scratch in FF2.

i think we're going to have to discipline steve again, carl. he's getting way too cheeky again now where did i put that pink feather?

hehe...Looks good Craig but you always know I can't get enough of these...:>)
Was your design anyway I just moved it into the other world..;>)
Before version 2 came out I was thinking of re-doing the 3d for this filter to include the other methods......But then version 2 came out and you know the rest..;>)

Thats it... Didn't find himself kissing to many women in that show..

ok, another from the rock filter.

hi ron,

thanks

thanks, steve. not sure what i'm using there. i think it's a profile gradient mixed with a perlin and some other stuff to give that varied look. i'm not sure what the unevenness in the lighting. that could be that i used a light or a custom lighting environment. not sure, but i kinda like the light at the top and darker at the bottom. it gives it a light from above but the rest of the rock shades it, thus giving it some 3d shape... sort of. the high grain on the top and lower grain on the bottom also suggests that the top is more exposed to the weather and thus is consistent with the lighting. so, again, i sort of like it, which is why i posted that one. not all within that filter are like this, though. that filter is pretty wide open giving a lot of different results. i like em that way

a boulder works. one of these days i shld learn a good 3d program to show some of these.

i was thinking of a canyon wall where the light would come in from above and the rest would be shaded.

and one for glass:

Yeah definately the etched metal is a goood one

thanks, guys. going over old filters can produce some good results in v2

hi KG,

no, not really submitting anything right now. still waiting to see if vlad and company are going to do anything else with author incentives and that's not likely to happen at least till after june. i just cant see continuing to give away the cow

it's spelled 'hoarding' and i am not!

ok, new stage 3 filter. just made it tonight. used steve's pink flowers as my model.

how about a little hammered copper?
