Found under: Effects/ Iterative lines A new version is in my plugin pack here Red ochre v10 plugin pack Note that some sliders do different things for positive and negative values. If using the randomness slider do keep clicking the Reseed button till you get something you like. (I used Null54's example code for Furblur as a template - thanks again! ) (If active plugin writers would like VS the code - P.M. me ) Below are some examples of things made using it and some settings to get you started. Please post your creations in this thread - Enjoy! 10 Quote Red ochre Plugin pack..............

Red ochre Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 TR - that's Grrrreat! - where's the tiger gone? (many thanks for the general programming support and thanks for posting the image).Ventor1 - thank you!Cc4FH - Thanks! - your favourite colours?The examples showing the U.I. are 'straight from the box'. That one also uses Furblur as follows:1. Use Dryad to get the tree shape, then ... duplicate the layer.2. Top layer, turn it pink using 'Gradients Galore' with 'on object only' checked and an elliptical shape.3. Run Furblur on top layer - I think it was with 'string theory' shape & high curvature & 'only keep fur'. To get the blossom.4. Duplicate blossom layer make lower blossom layer white and displace upwards with the arrow keys to give impression of light.5. Lowest layer with branches - used 'Object edge' to shade across the branches and give impression of roundness.6. Create a sky layer below all and colour this with 'Gradients Galore'. (Uncheck the 'on object only' box). Quote Red ochre Plugin pack.............. Diabolical Drawings ................Real Paintings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The funny thing is, even though I do love those colors, the real reason I wanted to know the settings was because the tree looked like a cherry tree, which I thought was pretty. :3 Edited June 13, 2014 by Cc4FuzzyHuggles Quote *~ Cc4FuzzyHuggles Gallery ~* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowman Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Oh, man this amazing, I can't believe my eyes, how fast it is. I got an error, but I think because I was moving the sliders like carzy Is it possible to make the sliders slower? I mean the effect applies slower when moving them.

Red ochre Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 Hi Yellowman - I hope you didn't lose any work!The error report says it is an 'out of memory' error.This could possibly be because you were using it on a large image with many layers? - which would reduce the memory available for the plugin. I am NOT an expert I'm afraid. The plugin will use a lot of memory when the 'iterations' slider is high - each extra iteration doubles the number of branches it has to deal with. I have not expienced this error even on the highest iterations setting but I mostly tested on the default canvas size. The only thing I can recommend is save your file before running the effect and keep the iterations slider a little lower.Thanks for reporting this, if it happens regularly please let me know - (not that I can do much about it - but I could ask the expert programmers here if they have any ideas).As for the effect being too fast!As I understand it, changes in the U.I. (moving a slider) will cause the plugin to update - it is probably updating as you are moving the slider - there is not much I can do about this without affecting the performance in other ways.Thanks for posting the image too! ------------------------------------------------Pixey - sleeping? - never! - (writing useful tutorials more likely ).Glad you eventually found the effect! - Thanks for posting the image, I particularly like the 'watercolour' feel you have given to the small pink tree shapes at the bottom.

yellowman Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Thank you Red ochre, I was actually just trying the plugin on a 800 x 600 canvas on a two layers file, and I wasn't doing any significant work, so I haven't lost anything And about the speed of the sliders, I think I wasn't clear enough, or maybe I am missing something, as an example; if you move the "Start Length" slider to the right, the resulted shape will go beyond the canvas ( extremely large), but I think I am understanding the plugin step by step, by altering all other functions I can manage the results much better. 1 Quote My GalleryMy YouTube Channel "PDN Tutorials" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red ochre Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 Ah - I understand what you mean now! I allowed a big range on both 'start length' and 'length change ratio' to allow for a large variety of patterns. Generally reduce 'start length' before increasing 'length change ratio'. I thought that some of the more extreme settings would be useful for patterns that loop back onto to the canvas area, but see they can be confusing for making trees if most of the 'tree' is not on the canvas!I will take another look at those values and see if I can find a better soloution.I have some ideas.Thanks.

madcatprime Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Fantastic plugin. I am going to use this plugin in my tutorial on how to create organic rivers. I haven't seen another plugin capable of doing a branching like this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red ochre Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 Thanks for the positive feedback johnnysdream and madcatprime - I look forward to seeing that tutorial! UPDATE page one. I've updated 'Dryad' - I have replaced the 'start length' slider with one for overall size which hopefully makes it a little easier to use. Also cleaned up a bug that could cause a crash (a silly typo error!), so recommend that you update to the new version. I used it to make the sun in the first one!
