Popular Post Red ochre Posted July 9, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted July 9, 2016 Name: Aardvark Description: Tiles an image with choices for reflected and brick tiling, rotation and perspective distortions Keywords: Tiling|Tiles|Texture|Tessellation|perspective|tilt|rotation|zoom Menu: Distort Original release date: 10th July 2016 Authors: Red ochre (John Robbins) and M.J.W. .dll name: Aardvark Compatibility: tested on Pdn 3.5.11 and Pdn 4.0.10Aardvark.zip Firstly let me thank M.J.W. for his help and patience. He is solely responsible for getting the 'tilt' to work correctly and helped enormously with the 'super-sampling' and general speed of the effect. Please do give him a rep' point! The controls are quite self-explanatory but it is worth noting: 1. It is mainly designed for zooming out, (to see the tiling) but it can zoom in, by unchecking the 'limit to integer' check box and setting the zoom below 1.00. 2. The tilted surface rotation slider is greyed out if there is no tilt. 3. The Max samples slider affects the quality. The default of 11 allows high quality maximum zooming out when not tilted. If using tilt, I suggest first lowering the sampling to quickly get the image as desired, then increase to maximum for best results. 4. Many of the example images were created by using Aardvark a number of times, on different settings. Do experiment! 5. Why is it called Aardvark?...why not! Please post any images you make using it here. I've included some example images below but I always enjoy seeing what others create. 1 14 Quote Red ochre Plugin pack..............

Maximilian Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 A quick test and a little show of appreciation for two of the top guys in the PdN elite, and by no other than the Aardvark himself (and me, of course) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red ochre Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 Thanks for posting the image AgentGoodspeed.Great sense of movement there, looks like the ball will bounce out of the screen! Hi Maximilian,Thanks for saying thanks. I'm glad you found this one, I know how long you waited for it.Writing the code was quite 'Aardvark' (hard work) ... for me at least. I'm out of 'reps' at the moment - will catch up soon. 3 Quote Red ochre Plugin pack..............

dipstick Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 This is great for making custom textures. I used a Granite texture and used Red Ochre's "Object Bevel" to make the edge bevel and the engraving. I then used Aardvark to create the tile and tilt effect. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red ochre Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 Seerose - That's very kind, I'm enjoying that beer now! Good to see nice smooth results towards the 'horizon'.(It may seem a little slow when used at highest quality but it will be taking 400+ samples for every pixel at that level!)D.S. or 'dippy'? Great example - many thanks for showing it! That's definitely one of the uses I had in mind and I'm very grateful that M.J.W. came to the rescue to get the tilting right.

dipstick Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 I just upgraded to the latest version of my Linux distro, I then installed Wine and PDN. I had to try it out, so I choose to use this plugin because it's cool..... I call this one the Cormorant Race. Photo is mine. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
