Re: Light & textures - rendering examples of this and that.
(...) texturing is all about applying chaos.
Yes.
And you can even turn it around and say: Chaos is texture.
In the world of computer-aided composition and performance we can apply a process that creates a touch of randomness to pitch and timing. When we apply this process to our music we make it sound like it’s being played by a human rather than by a machine. This process is called Humanizing. The amount of randomness in this process is however quite questionable as the computer is dependent upon certain parameters to be set prior to applying the process, and as you say; computers can't really do random.
Neither can nature, in my opinion. Nothing is random. Everything is dependant upon the state of the initial conditions.

I see no unstructured randomness in your perfectly applied chaos. I guess that's the secret to creating these lifelike images.

I have just read this whole tread once again from start to end. You have obviously put a great deal of work into this.
I can only say thank you for sharing your knowledge, your creations and your thoughts.

btw: You should revise your spellcheck settings and untick the automatic replacement ( or what it’s called).
