Easter Basket Weave; Texture

[RudeDog]

Happy Easter!

Here's a taste of things to come at the Chain Maker website. Procedural textures; bricks, stones, weaves, scales, shingles, etc. Just another piece of the puzzle.

hi RudeDog
Could you post the peramaters for the weave.
Very Cool!
Thanks

hi RudeDog

At this point I'm still developing the code.

I'm sort of at a crossroads trying to decide if it would be more useful for the average CarveWright user to be given a tool to make their own textures, with every conceivable adjustable parameter, or to be offered a huge library of premade textures, perhaps on a DVD with seach engine.

You see, it starts to get very technical and I don't think most people want to be bothered tweaking those kinds of parameters. I could be wrong, this is a pretty technical bunch. What would the average user prefer? Are these even useful in the real world?

Hay Rick
I have only had a couple of chances to play with the program, and there is a learning curve, but as I get the time I will pick it up, so I guess I am just doing a little compairing one to the other to lesson the curve a little.
So not a problem.
Thanks for the reply

Hey Rick,

Personally I think you hit it on BOTH accounts. While it's nice to have a library of "pre-made" things, (like patterns), it's also a big plus to able to design your own.

I haven't looked at your app so I have no idea what the interface is like but if it's like any windows type app that has dialog boxes in which you can input parameters, I know I'd spend time playing with it. What I've seen you produce so far is VERY COOL stuff!!
