I have posted for you a version of this filter in the other heavy Snow thread, or perhaps you mean that you want a version that makes the same without this LUA script, but I can´t do that as I do not know how to do it. If you can, do it.

I am sorry that I have used this LUA script, I did not know that it does not work on Mac.

Here is a text I have done with this filter with Preset 8

Here I have used the well done GF Atom Generator by Ghislaine to make this



This is using preset 5

Some of the presets

Look what happens when you reduce the blur, give color to the light, and underlay the image.

By the way, the word is very similar in English: "fossil".

looks more like shaving foam, but good effect

I mean that the shaving cream will not stay flat and smooth and will make many irregular shapes even when covering objects.



and covering an object would be very diificult to make like this effect on this filter



But I think that you are refering to the LOOK and not the behaviour of the shaving foam

Hey, SR, what's with the lady playing the piano? You wanna burry her in snow and shaving cream for comparison?

Nice to see people making use of my shadows. It's a shame it has issues with the mac version. I wish I knew what could be done to fix that (though I think some of my filters without lua don't work on mac, either, so its probably a general filter Forge stability issue on Macs).

A suggestion for the filter while I'm here: It needs some more texture (or at least the option for it). Real snow is made up of piles of tiny ice crystals. This filter looks way too smooth. You also probably want to work m some blue ambient lighting by default as well. Do a google image search for "snow", you'll see what I mean.

I think the smooth look of the snow makes it look like there's more distance between the viewer and the snow, while adding texture will make it look like the viewer is closer to the snow.
If you look at images of large landscapes covered in snow, you don't see much texture. On the other hand, when the snow is close to you, like in your back yard, you see lots of texture. That why I thing there's reason to use both textured and untextured versions.

Targos Just came by to mention the Mac crash also..

Sorry that this filter makes Mac crash, but I can´t find a way to solve this because I do not know why it happens and how to solve it, and also that I do not have a Mac computer.

I have seen that this image has been CHANGED and replaced with this other one of this woman that is not the real one

This is the bad thing of hot-linking where the image is still stored in the original website and could be changed or deleted without notice.

But searching in Google images I have found that the same image is still available, and this time I will upload it to the FF forum instead of a hot-link

Here below is the original image that has been replaced above
