Radial Smear

Click here to download it (for A:M v8.5, Windows). Copy the trb into your A:M turbulence folder.	Radial Smear will smear radially the underlying noise function.
Turbulence Type Select from the regular set of Fractal noise functions Octaves Select Octave from 1 to 5 (see The Octave).
Spherical checkbox When in spherical is checked, smearing occurs from the location 0,0,0 in 3D space and extend outward. This aloows to apply the smear on a cone section by placing the center of the material at the tip of the cone.
When Cylindrical is not checked, Smearing is performed from the specified axis outward. Cylindrical smearing will give optimal effect when applied onto a flat surface.
Length Specified the length of the smear in cm. Samples As the mear length increase, it may be necessary to increase the number of samples to reduce the sampling aliasing artifacts which shows as repeating textures in the smears. Note that the processing time increase proportionally with the number of samples. Gain As the number of samples increase, the values coming from the function tend to average toward 50%. It may be necessary to increase the gain in order to rregain better contrast. Axis This is the axis vector along which the smearing is aligned.
