I’m back today with some more FilterForge<\/a> stuff for the tutorial. We’re still making the basic stuff, and today I though we’ll make one more wood filter, and then take a look at working with random tiling.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We start with a Perlin Noise<\/strong> this time, and set it up like this, connecting two Color inputs to it. You pick the woody colors you like.<\/p>\n

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

The we connect a Wave<\/strong> like this to the Profile<\/em> input of the Perlin Noise<\/strong>. As you see the Wave is rough, I will soon tell you how this is made.<\/p>\n

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

Now we create a Cells<\/strong> and set up up like this, and connect it to the Maximum<\/em> input of the Wave<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

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

Then we create a\u00a0Perlin Noise<\/strong>\u00a0and connect that to the Phase<\/em> input of the Wave<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

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

And at last another Perlin Noise<\/strong> that goes to the Minimum<\/em> input \u00a0that is setup like this.<\/p>\n

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

This will be wood base, but we need rings for this wood too. So we create another Perlin Noise<\/strong> setup like this, and add another color input.<\/p>\n

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

Now we create a Wave<\/strong> swtup like this and connect to the Profile<\/em> input of the Perlin Noise<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

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

Then we connect that output to the Results<\/strong> component, which we setup as a surface. Now we start to work on the height map.<\/p>\n

We create a Cells<\/strong> setup like this.<\/p>\n

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

The \u00a0we run it through a Round<\/strong> and a Desaturate<\/strong>, and connect the texture output we did before to the Granularity<\/em> input of the Round<\/strong>. We make this the height for the Results<\/strong> component.<\/p>\n

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

Now we create a Threshold<\/strong> \u00a0component, ar set it like this. We take the output from the\u00a0Desaturate <\/strong>as Source<\/em>. We input this to the Reflection<\/em> of the Results<\/strong> component.<\/p>\n

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

So, how does it look? Here is an AO render of the texture. Remember that this is not wood you make fine furniture of, more like a worn plank.<\/p>\n

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

OK, shall we play with the tiles now?<\/p>\n

We create a Tiles<\/strong> component, set it up like this. The Variation should just be something random though.<\/p>\n

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

We now feed the output to a Threshold<\/strong> component.<\/p>\n

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

Now we make two more copies of this set, and set the Variation<\/em> different in each. Then, as we need a texture, we create a Perlin Noise, with two colors, this is just for show, this is where we will use our Stone filters later when we make the real filter.<\/p>\n

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

We then make a Tiles<\/strong> and feed the Perlin Noise<\/strong> to it. We make three more copies of this “set” too, and set different colors in the Perlin Noise.<\/p>\n

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

Then we can couple them together two by two using the Threshold<\/strong> output and Opacity<\/em> using a Blend<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

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

And a closeup on the Threshold<\/strong> and Blend<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

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

Then finally put the two groups together, like this.<\/p>\n

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

Now we got a interesting result, we don’t have a height map yet so this is a simple Result<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

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

And here are the filters from todays tutorial to play with.<\/p>\n

I really hope you enjoy this.<\/p>\n
