Chainmail Effect using Affinity Photo's Procedural Texture Filter ADVANCED
In this video, I show how to create a chainmail effect using Affinity Photo's procedural texture filter.
Functions used: var vec2 fraction smoothstepcs length length max
Chainmail filter:
var v=vec2(rx,ry)*a/h; var v1=fraction(v)-.5; var v2=fraction(v-.5)-.5; var t1=smoothstepcs(d,d+t/2,d+t/2,d+t,length(v1))*(v1.y+.5); var t2=smoothstepcs(d,d+t/2,d+t/2,d+t,length(v2))*(-v2.y+.5); max(t1,t2)
Alpha channel:
var v=vec2(rx,ry)*a/h; var v1=fraction(v)-.5; var v2=fraction(v-.5)-.5; var t1=smoothstepcs(d,d+t/2,d+t/2,d+t,length(v1)); var t2=smoothstepcs(d,d+t/2,d+t/2,d+t,length(v2)); smoothstepcs(0,e,max(t1,t2))
