Yeah, ok, but with all this stuff, can you actually make a procedural that is specific (ie. a terracotta cobblestone). Or is all this playing in the DTE just random fractalizing. Great clarification, thought LSM.

ARghhh! You have no idea how long I've spent making a complicated terrain version of a crazy paving path only to see that Lordstormdragon could doubtless have knocked one out of the DTE with a few quick tweaks ;)

Kathye that is why is has "Lord" on his name...he is the Lord N Master of the DTE ;)
I have opinions of my own -- strong
opinions -- but I don't always agree with them.

Lord! I mean Lordstromdragon, this rules! I guess the randomizer is the way to go. I'll try that tonight and may post an image tonight. By the way, nice DTE display.

Wanna make some weird stuff in the DTE! Oh please Lord, teach me, teach me! Wanna make copper, wanna make roofing tiles, grotty spaceship metal, engine exhaust, plasma..., wanna make all sorts of stuff.

I'd really, REALLY like to be able to make glowing coals and an ashen texture. (need these now) (as well as the bat fur - really gonna need that very, very soon) Help?

Hmm, i like the style, but perhaps turn the noise up a bit? It seems kinda pixelly, although it's shaded very well! You don't have to use Random stuff in the DTE, you can pull up all kinds of presets and tweak them, as well! Most of the operators are accounted for in the DTE libraries. Holding down shift will bring up a visual library, as opposed to the text-based one...

I was able to complete the textures this morning. Thanks again for your help and suggetions.
