Btw, I have no idea what you're talking about. I never said that, just check.

LOL! I knew I had better change that. I know better than to say something that might be perceived as insulting to someone's filter – especially when no insult was intended. My virtual worlds will require extremely high quality cartoons to look cartoony in my worlds.

No doubt that that's how I will be thwarted from taking over the world - that's the most devilish tactic ever devised against the coming new age.

Interesting. I guess it's Vlad's way of making up to me for no EPs.

I found out right away that my kind of artwork was not compatible with the bandwidth constraints of the internet, or even games. A single high quality still would take me days to send from my location using the web - and I would need to send millions. I want render farms and IMAX.

You had better by them soon. I expect then to get big and possibly be purchased by Adobe or MS.

I'm working on a GUI for a rig.

your suppose to come back with "all your filters deserve EP"

I just tried plugging 'Atmosphere' into 'Add Atmosphere (non-square)' so we would have 'Add Atmosphere Squared (non-square)' but Atmosphere completely overwhelmed Add Atmosphere.
Here is the combined lead presets.

Doing some "freaky-cheeky" filter experiments, eh???

Welcome to FF and Carl's Corner Lady Fayre.
Btw, and it took me almost six months to figure this out myself, you can click the Quote button to make your life easier.
Per Carl's suggestion I also tried plugging it into Atmosphere Paradise. In my opinion it did not work that well. It seems to me that each filter is trying to do the same things but using very different approaches - almost too different. Maybe with some playing around.
We had been playing around with another combination recently that worked much better. It is in this thread. I will find the link and post it. brb

Here is a better example.

o well it was worth a shot and we still should submit our super grunge combo grunge poster still hasn't gone high

I also keep two offline USB drives with complete backup of my reference infor like tutorials, music, photos etc. I am loving my new system. I even cleaned all the icons off my desktop - one of the first times ever.

Have you looked at Virtual Dimension?
http://virt-dimension.sourceforge.net/
It's freeware that allows you to have any number of desktops.
At the moment I have six; email, Maya, News, Research, Filter Forge, Maya II, Maya III and Photoshop (see attached). It has made my life much easier. Notice at number 4 the desktop selector; it shows what is open in each window and allows me to drag and drop applications between windows or span all windows with a single application – pretty cool. Also have you looked at file box extender? More freeware.
http://www.hyperionics.com/files/index.asp
It is has changed my life more than any utility. It allows me to dramatically increase the amount of screen real estate I have available. Look at the attached image and notice the little black triangles. each of those roll windows up like blinds. The push-pin beside them allow the window to be pinned in front.


1. Attribute editor folded up.
2. Script editor folded up.
3. Text editor folded up
4. Virtual Dimension desktop selector
a. email desktop
b. Maya desktop
c. Photoshop desktop

5. Maya main editor folded down
6. Quicktime player folded down but in back
7.


With Maya I usually have between ten to twenty windows open at any give time, spanning both monitors. Before I got FBX I this was not possible and I was constantly having to open and close and drag and otherwise reposition windows.

They look interesting programs I'll have a proper look later
