This what I came up with. In my first image, I followed your directions exactly. Started improvising on the next three. I have a much better understanding of all your height map plugins now. Thanks.

Aaahhhhhh...now we're talking. One of my questions was 'how do you get 24-bit height mapped on a shape'? I see you have a special plugin for that. I will try this later today and see if I can get a result similar to yours. Thanks, MJW!

Thank you, ReMake!

Thanks Red! I will try this out.

Thank you, Rickhum!

@MJW...I'm sorry, I can't figure this plugin out at all. I tried to do something similar to a sphere and it looks nothing like yours. Can you do a quick step-by-step using your sphere example? Maybe post the images you used? I'd appreciate it. I feel kind of stupid here...

@Woodsy, @barbieq25, @Seerose, @Maximilian....thank you all for your wonderful comments! You're all sweethearts!

Ahhhh.......much more refined and finished to perfection!

Thanks, Pixey!

Striking piece of work, Pixey! Love it!

@Shochi Many thanks!!

A tribute to the season here in the northern hemisphere. I've been experimenting with transparent / glassy text. More to come as I perfect my technique. Enjoy!!

EER....You still did not include your shapes! (laughing silently to myself...)

Thank you, ReMake! I find I am using this frequently and you just released it this week. Comes in handy!

Wow, Rickhum...you just keep getting better and better! Adore the flowers!

Congrats Si Borg on the excellent entry! Congrats to Pixey, Dipstick and Sasha! Very interesting entries for this one. Thank you Drew for hosting!

WOW, also! Looks like the car is melting away. Beautiful!

Love the dandies, Rickhum....

Very nice indeed! I tried recreating this yesterday and the result didn't come out right. I knew it had to do with 'Trail' settings and 'Curves' settings. Perfect example of how a picture is truly worth a thousand words! Thank you Drew for supplying the pictures and EER for fixing the tutorial!

Wow! Another great space pic! Great job, Rickhum!

Woodsy, Rickhum, matt0815 and BBQ...thank you so much for your kind words!

Thanks toe_head! It loads so much quicker now. Looks nice, too.

Very imaginative! Nice colors!
