Today, and a few days ahead, we’re gonna make a FilterForge filter from scratch, that can be used to render doors for the maps. I’ve been using door by greytale’s nook <\/a> for a log time, but they are getting old and worn, so I needed new doors. I used one of greytale’s doors as a model for the filter, as something to aim for.<\/p>\n

This is the door I used as a model:
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

So, start up FilterForge<\/a> 2 beta (if you have FilterForge 1, you should apply for a FF2 beta key, it is well worth it, trust me<\/em>).<\/p>\n

The doors will be wooden doors (at least this version of the filter, iron doors will come later, maybe).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

First, we create a color generator for generating a start color for the wood. We use Remapping in the sliders so we will stay within good boundaries for a wood color. We use slider to set the Hue, Lightness and Saturation parameters of the Assemble HL<\/strong>S<\/strong> component.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now we feed the color we just generated as the Base Color<\/em> for a Noise Gradient<\/strong>, which is a control that generate a random gradient based on the color you feed as base color, and the H-, L- and S- range settings.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is how the Noise Gradient <\/strong>is set up.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We now create a Perlin Noise<\/strong> component, the fastest of the noises to use, and set it up to generate wood like stretched lines. We have an input for the Roughness<\/em> parameter<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is the setup of the Noise Gradient<\/strong>. As you can see, Scale is not very high, but stretch is.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now we create an E<\/strong>levation Gradient<\/strong> component, and connect the output from the Noise Gradient<\/strong> to the Gradient Input<\/em>, and the output from the Perlin Noise<\/strong> to the Elevation Input<\/em>. As you can see, we got a wood like structure already.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now, we need some ring to this, so we take the Wood start color we made, and feed it into two different Hue \/ Saturation<\/strong> modifier components. One set to make a lighter hue, and one to make a darker hue.<\/p>\n

We then feed the outputs into a Switch<\/strong> component, which we control by a Checkbox<\/strong> (Dark Rings<\/em>). This way we can select dark or light right by switching the checkbox.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow<\/a>, we will finalize the wood generator part of the dungeon door filter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
