Filter Details

Description

This filters supresses unwanted lightness variations in tiling textures. It is based on the idea of Peter Hajba, the artist behind Max Payne games and Future Crew demos.

In a Gamasutra article titled "The Power of the High Pass Filter" Peter described a way to make dark and light spots in tiling textures less repetitive. I've just implemented his approach in Filter Forge.
