Row 1: Debug option to show the grid (voxel) size.
Row 2: False color pattern
Row 3: False color pattern with smoothing turned on
Row 4: False color pattern with added noise and slope
Row 5: Stone pattern (incl. chips towards the outer edges)
Row 6: Brass with patina pattern

Cheers,
Edouard.

Waw I'll have to find some time and play with it now :-)

Right!

Result of use of latest version. The building is showing a much smoother 
texture now (no noise is used here). I added some more features to the 
building. The smoke seems to originate *beside* the altar but is not. It 
starts horizontally before going upwards. I assume there is a bug in the 
wind effect of the smokegen macro (Mikael Carneholm) or the mistake is mine 
:-)

For the wall-and-gate, I have to experiment further. Nothing really 
stricking is showing here so some tuning might be in order.

Looking good!

Please tell me if there are any changes you would like in the macros - I'd like
it if the macros were something people could actually use with as little effort
as possible.

And here's another texture - steel with some scratching on the outside, and rust
on the inside.

Cheers,
Edouard.

Yes, I think so too. The macro is very easy to use now. Got a version here 
now with noise which is even better, at least for the cenotaph. Used 
add_noise and pattern smoothing for the cenotaph; only add_noise for the 
gate.

I think the only thing which could use some automation is the noise, 
especially the slope/altitude code which should be scaled to the size of the 
object. The other scales are more or less intuitive I think, as they can 
reflect the taste of the user. Not sure though, I want to experiment a bit 
with that.

Yes, nice one too!

I would be interested in seeing a panoramic version of the scene, using 
PanoSalado or something.

Last one - the Ajax mesh with a steel proximity texture, and some
post-processing in Photoshop.

Cheers,
Edouard.
