Textures

This is the basic wood pattern, made by turning off Color, Bending and Opacity under the mutation tree. Then I selected the Texture Blend/Wood5 gradient, and used the Mega Mutation ball a couple of times until I came up with something I liked. I used the Cycle slider to get it to look more like wood grain and saved it.	When I'm using the different blend modes in KPT, I've found it useful to have something already there to apply the new effect to, so I created a transparent-to-grey gradient in a frame shape, went back to Texture Explorer and applied my wood grain to it with Procedural+ glue. That produced this.	Then I selected the white middle part and applied a texture which had only a few squiggly lines. I returned and got an "oily" looking texture and applied it with Lighten Only so that the squiggly lines would get "oily" and finally selected the white part that was left and applied yet another texture, resulting in the work above.

Another thing you can do with KPT3 Texture Explorer is try out different patterns on already existing pictures. Above is the basic picture. The other four in this set shows the young lady with different patterns applied to her blouse using either Procedural+ (2,3) or Procedural- (1,4) glue. Personally, I think Procedural- works better.	2	4
