Filter Details

Description

A sketchy little filter for you, to give you a pen-and-ink or scratchboard look. You can control the ink thickness, amount of shading, paper colour, pen colour, etc. It's pretty simple, but can give you a wide range of looks.

NOTE: "Outline Thickness," "Outline Stylize," and "Outline Detail" are intimately connected. Given the same thickness value, higher values of stylization will produce thicker outlines, as will higher values of detail. Conversely, thicker ink will increase detail. Once you play with it a bit, it will all make sense. ^_^

CREDITS: This filter was inspired by CRAPADILLA's excellent "Spelunker's Scribble" – I even used his basic architecture as a starting point for my build. Although there isn't, after all the adjustments and changes, a lot of Crapadilla's original left in "Scratchy Ink Drawing," the inspiration and workflow are from him. Thanks a lot, Crapadilla! You are a FF god!
