heightmap geometry injection - (with parameters)

[m2001]

i mean pictures from MarkJayBee http://markjaybee.deviantart.com/gallery/ are created by another way

example:
http://markjaybee.deviantart.com/art/Tier-III-531256196

the sphere (IFS with heigtmap) (distorted) has an "spaceship" texture/heightmap like this:
http://a.imageshack.us/img818/8968/destinyhull01.jpg

"simple" create some rectangles in Phothoshop/Gimp ... with different greyvalues

u can also map the face/heightmap on
CylinderHMVoid, CylinderHeightMap
SphereHMVoid, SphereHeightMap
(TorusHMVoid) - ...

but, if u use the HeightMapIFS the endless plane covers the rest/background. Perhaps theres a way to do it, but i dont know - not yet.

What we need is a "plane oder cube HeightmapIFS" with ajustable size.

I think u should try it with the sphere

@m2001: wonderful, arch_builder_in_abox is special to me, grass is awesome. Good job! (:
I guess this technique could be used in animations as well.

[m2001]

@visual.bermarte - yep, the abox variation is good


if u/anyone like ...

Update:
Set "Maxits hybrid part1" to 1

that was a time i dont know ...  

[visual.bermarte]

I was not really clear, I mean using a sequence of heightmaps.
I can imagine that face smiling or talking. 

[m2001]

ah...

- save the picture sequenz in your map folder:

example
1000.png
1001.png
...
1499.png

- set first image in map nr in the heightmap formula (1000)
- make an animation keyframe
- set last number in map nr in the heightmap formula (1499)
- make the second ani keyframe

set the number of images as number of subframes between keyframe one and two

key one = 1.499
key two = 1

i set "subframe interpolation" to "linear"

[cKleinhuis]

nice, that animation mode is simple and effective i was thinking about including an animated sequence but was not sure if mb3d can handle it, but it is obviously just a (integer) number that can be animated as well

What we need is a "plane oder cube HeightmapIFS" with ajustable size.

This might work.

1 st test  thanks m2001 indications thx

[m2001]

@0Encrypted0
... that's it - and what a "pain" to work with the heightmapIFS ... tststs (shit  )

1.000x THX !!!

@ericr
this object/formula u can place in your scene

u need the custom forms:
