We’re back making an interesting filter for FilterForge<\/a>, this time we will use another way of making a stone surface, plus a way to make simple but good looking mortar. Each filter is a building block for the final filter. Although FilterForge lack the type of MetaNodes that Vue has, you can copy\/paste components from one filter to another.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We start by adding a Tiles<\/strong> component and setting two color selectors for it, this one is as you have noticed is one of my base components combinations.<\/p>\n

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

Now we duplicate that tile component, and attach the COlor flux and the colors, but swap places on the colors.<\/p>\n

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

Now we add two identical Noise Distortions<\/strong> and drive the Tiles<\/strong> output to each of them, like this.<\/p>\n

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

We now create Perlin Noise<\/strong> setup like this.<\/p>\n

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

Then we add a Blend<\/strong> node and use the Perlin Noise<\/strong> as before to blend the two noisy colors we had.<\/p>\n

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

This will be our surface. Now we need to fix a height map for this one. We add a Chaffs<\/strong> component setup like this.<\/p>\n

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

The we add a Circular Arc<\/strong> wave and set it up like this, and connect that to the Profile<\/em> of the Chaffs.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

We now create a Perlin Noise<\/strong> setup like this and connect that to the Minimum<\/em> input if the Circular Arc. This is to create a variable start, making the curve fuzzy.<\/p>\n

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

Then we create a Stones<\/strong> and connect that to the Start<\/em> input of the Circular Arc<\/strong>. This also makes the curve fuzzy.<\/p>\n

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

Now, we use a Noise Distortion<\/strong> and connect the Chaffs<\/strong> to this.<\/p>\n

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

And finally, we use a Tone Curve<\/strong> and a Linear<\/strong> curve setup like this. We drive the output from the Noise Distortion through this one, to limit the height map variations.<\/p>\n

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

We save this as Stone Tutorial 3 and render.\u00a0Here it is, rendered using AO to show the features. Looks like a sloppy chopped stone surface, the stone mason has having a hangover today?<\/p>\n

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

Now as I said in the beginning, we’re gonna make a quick but good looking mortar. We create Tiles component with Color controls all setup like this.<\/p>\n

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

We now, guess what?, run it through a Noise Distortion<\/strong> setup like this. This is our surface, simple as that.<\/p>\n

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

Then we need a height map, so we add a Cells component setup like this, this is all we need.<\/p>\n

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

We connect to the Results, save as Mortar tutorial 1 and render. Looking good I think.<\/p>\n

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

Here are todays filter snippets to play with.<\/p>\n

I hope you are having fun!<\/p>\n
