Yes that's right crew"and there I wuz"working my fingers to tha bone trying to get the perfect piece to go in my gallery then all of a sudden here came Patricia{by the way...This was last week!!!one hundred kazillion post's ago". Patricia came up with the idea{my shiny little fruit}of how nice the piece would look if it had a real oil painting look??She told me that this piece would look good in a thick oil maby with rich swirls!!!Well.I thought about this for a moment and said to my self well I'm glad to hear this from a girl{gave me some gallop}and this was something that I hadn't even thought about.I thought WOW...

So I started testing????Which maps could I use???

Hmm.WOW I have no inventory for this product field???

Well I am shooting for a Van-Go..he..he.

So I'm thinking well I may as well go for it....

So to sum up my target Pre-Post/Pro's list; 1.I am looking for little/no distortion on the U+V. 2.I am looking for a super rich/lavish oil canvas texture for black&platinum+dimonds????I hope you see that too...he..he.. So I find a texture that I think will do tha trick...

Well Crew by this time I am mentaly pumped.. One of the reasons I bought TrueSpace 5.X was because; 1.You can use any type of lighting known to man... 2.You can take a standard photo and make it into a bump map.. 3.You can scale the set. 4.Ect.ect. So I couldn't stop with the oil&diamonds

WOW.I am totaly amazed.I couldn't get over how the bump generator realy creates a real 3D texture..

So.. I wrap this cool oil paint up with a final examination of corse bump's..hoping that there are some judging eyes out there looking in??? I hope that you liked this wild texture bumpy ride...

I like it but the detail seems to have gotten lost some how in the final version.

Detail???What do you mean???

What I said. the colored images look like they are missing detail, especialy in the yellow areas. I'd like to see this section blown up and see you do something with it

Does Truspace have a fractal generator. I've tried fractal bump maps in bryce but wasn't happy with the outcome.

CW!!DUDETT...Uh There isn't much yello in your post???? 5% say dots per tenthousandth/2% DPI.The red picture has yellow???Hmmm.you like that section??Hu??? P.S.TrueSpace has several apps that use fractal displacement but nothing like the awesome Bryce....

the red picture has large chunks of yellow around the 2 spiral shapes which appear to me at least to be missing detail. maybe it's not mushrooms, maybe it's too much jolt cola ;)
