dots2

---

this is my second version of the dot plugin; after i've figured out how bump mapping works it now has a bump feature

the parameter of the plugin:

the parameters already known from the dot plugin

• size
  
• noise
  
• smooth
  
• no aalias
  

• single
  if you activate this button, only a single dot is created

• bump
  this button activates bump mapping for the texture; you also have to activate the Nor button in the material window to use this feature:
  

• bump size
  if bump mapping is activated you determine how much the texture get bumped; if the value is negative the dots are bumped in; bump size can be adjusted between -5.0 and 5.0

examples

here you can see what you can do with the dots2 plugin:

simple un-smoothed dots with bump mapping:

two textures: for the first the bump size was set to 1.0, for the second to 2.0; see the difference?

of course you can still color the dots; here you see two examples with a colorband: a simple one:

and a texture with noise
