The whole thing is a mess at the moment of course ;-) I need to assess 
now /how/ and /what/ I want to make controls for. A macro architecture 
of course and enough parameters to play with.

No yet totally present as such but to be part of that macro I mentioned. 
I hope to start with the cleaning-up now as I guess I have ironed out 
all the problems at this moment.

No idea to be frank. But I keep it in my mind as one of the options.

I believe so, but I prefer not to use the pavers-and-mortar effect. Less 
natural feeling.

Indeed. Part of the work in progress. ;-)

with the many posts I read, (sorry) I seem to have lost track of 'why'.  whether
it is "simply" a general modernisation, or bringing the code[*] up-to-date for
3.8 and the shiny, new (SDL) toys.  if the latter, then you're spoilt for
choice.  :-)

[*] much of new, I assume.


regards, jr.

I only mention it because the opening image of this thread has the natural
examples which have quartz veining that is suggestive of this type of
patterning.

The latter, I am afraid. The whole project has taken a life of is own. :-)

No, that is different. Veins can run randomly through the rock and are 
of another order. We are coming to that later on.

I will gladly volunteer the stone crosses in my current animation project as a
showcase for this astounding texture! (Currently using T_Stone20.)

If you're not ready to release the final code yet then feel free to send the
prototype code to isn### [at] domainch where the domain is protonmail.

I feel compelled to admit that I'm so entranced by this texture that I don't
want to wait! I also understand if you prefer not to release a WIP out into the
world.

Kind regards,
Dave Blandston

Done! I sent you the prototype code.

I do not take responsibility for PC's taking fire, earthquakes, and 
crumbling crosses under excessive granite weight. :-)

Oho... bounced back with following message:

It looks like part of the address may have been obscured and/or scrambled
somewhere along the way. I'll break it up to stymie the system. The first part
should be isnomore then the circled a symbol then the domain which is protonmail
then a dot then the letters ch. I also just took the opportunity to update my
profile with the e-mail address so hopefully that will help.

Kind regards,
