Today we’re gonna be really destructive, and add another dimension of mayhem to our pillars. We start by editing the cracked filter we made for FilterForge<\/a> yesterday.<\/p>\n

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

First, we add a Perlin Noise<\/strong> component, where we set a dark brown and a dark grey color. We then feed that into the background of a Cells<\/strong> component, which a rather small scale and a mid yellow brown color as Noise<\/em>. This will be a perfect sand or mortar background, for the cracks.<\/p>\n

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

Now we clone the Cells<\/strong> component, and change the Noise<\/em> to dark grey, keeping the black Background<\/em>. This we feed into the Threshold<\/strong> component, instead of just black as we did yesterday.<\/p>\n

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

Now we add an Image<\/strong> component, which allow us to feed an image into the filter. We copy the Threshold<\/strong> component, and feed the Image<\/strong> as High<\/em>, and he mortar we did as the Low<\/em>, using the same Source<\/em> as the other Threshold<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

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

Now we change the Result<\/strong> component from a simple to a surface, and feed the first, old Threshold<\/strong> as Height<\/em>, and the new Threshold<\/strong> with the image as Surface Color<\/em>.<\/p>\n

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

This is the result when we run the filter on the old texture map we had.<\/p>\n

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

And this is the new bump map. I did not reuse the old one as you never know what settings have changed.<\/p>\n

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

And this is the new cracked decorative tiles.<\/p>\n

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

And as the decorative tiles could render a bump map, I rendered one and then applied the cracked filter on that too, with the same settings.<\/p>\n

We now open up Cheetah3D<\/a>, and replace the old maps with the new ones, and render.<\/p>\n

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

And here it is, our 2000 years old, dirty and cracked egyptian decorated stone pillar. This is what I call good work.<\/p>\n

And here is the new version of the filter as well.<\/p>\n

cracked-2.ffxml.zip<\/a><\/p>\n

So, we have gone from nice and clean to broken and dirty in two days, that must be a record, time files.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
