OK, today, we’re gonna work with the height map part of the door, what will make it look like the door greytale had done, and not flat like an overrun goblin.<\/p>\n

So, we open the filter once again in FilterForge<\/a>, and start to edit.<\/p>\n

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

What we’re gonna do today is making a frame<\/em> in which our door will be, so we start with a Step <\/strong>component connected to the Profile input <\/em>of\u00a0a Profile Gradient<\/strong>. You will see a lot interesting usage of the Profile Gradient<\/strong> component today. This will make a nice white with a little sloped border to black, remember, we are making height maps today.<\/p>\n

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

Now, we create another\u00a0Step <\/strong>component, with a different setup, and connect that to the Profile <\/strong>inout of <\/span><\/em>another Profile Gradient<\/strong>, where we feed Color 2<\/em> from the first Profile Gradient<\/strong>. As you can see, we now have the shape of a top-down door.<\/p>\n

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

Now, we use a Bias component<\/strong>, which we use to set the Profile<\/em> of yet another Profile <\/strong>Gradient<\/strong>. Then we feed the output to the Maximum<\/em> input of an\u00a0Impulse<\/strong> component. As you can see the curve is blurred on that part that will vary with the profile Gradients <\/strong>output. This is one of the really cool things with FilterForge.<\/p>\n

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

Here is yet another Profile Gradient<\/strong>, where the Profile<\/em> is set from a Bias<\/strong> component. This will be the actual top profile of your door.<\/p>\n

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

Now, we feed the last output to the Color 2<\/em> input of another Profile Gradient<\/strong>, to which we have connected a IntSlider<\/strong> to Repeat<\/em>. Then we connect the output from the Impulse<\/strong> component to the Profile<\/em> <\/strong>input, and as you see, we get a door top where you can see the planks. The Repeat sets how many planks we will have.<\/p>\n

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

Now, we use a Threshold<\/strong> component, where the Source<\/em> is the “door like shape” from yesterday, and the High<\/em> is the wood from the day before that, and we got a door, a flat boring door, bur a door.<\/p>\n

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

We make another\u00a0Threshold <\/strong>component and use the same Source<\/em>, but the height map as High<\/em>, and we got a hight map for the door.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow<\/a>, we’re gonna add some details to the door, before we can actually call it done.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
