Figure 15.237: Action example of Integration Steps on texture On the left: Integration Steps = 2. On the the right: Integration Steps = 4. Minimum/Maximum values Both values determine a range controlling texture contrast: shrinked range results in high contrast and enlarged range results in low contrast

exception of Filter length, which controls the strength or depth of the blur, and in some measure also Integration steps. Use a black/white gradient map and nothing else (you can use all sorts of image maps, but you think would fit your texture. Use a grayscale gradient or blurred mask as a map image, set Integration Steps a bit higher than default and experiment with the other settings to get the sort of texture This setting does not affect blur. • Integration Steps: Controls how much the map gradient is allowed to influence the shape of the pattern (a large integration = a large influence). Don’t set this parameter
