Title: Smoothing Filter Shader
Post by: WAS on April 02, 2018, 07:45:54 PM
Thank you.


Lol I just found this shader (when was this added?) and boy is it beautiful, and useful. Especially with low roughness PFs where "crimping" appears.

I'm glad you like it. It was added in v4.1.

Please show us something you make with it, no matter how basic is it :) I'm sure other people would learn from it.

It also smoothes the strata shader, which is handy.

That's a good tip. Thanks!

I have spoken too soon (just checked again), as it seemed that way in a setup I had. I had the strata shader masked by some PF, and added a smooth filter, but apparently it only smoothed the PF, so it looked like smoothing the strata shader. Sorry for giving you guys hope  :-[

:'( Sad times. Oh well. Stretched PFs or Voronoi noise it is.

It is really super useful. Finding I was using it for more than just smoothly low detail displacement. Was making some pretty decent texture effects with displacements.
