2.0 teaser?

lol, dilla

I am getting pretty anxious about v2.0
Filter Forge is great, bit it's starting to feel rather limiting.
I mean no offense by that in any way...
Maybe it's my own overuse that's making it feel that way (yes, I'm a FilterForgeaholic and I'm ok with it).
FF has become one of my favourite programs and I use it almost every day.
It's the only filter program I use... way better than the other ones I've tried.
Though one of the competitors has caught my eye and am watching too see how things go... see what the FF team offers up.
It's just getting to be time for something new.
I'm still hanging on using 32bit FF patiently waiting... and I'll continue to I'm sure.
But I'd really like to know when it's going to happen.
Anyone know how the beta testing is going to work this time?
Will they even be doing that again?

just a reminder for all us drooling fans, vlad did suggest that he might change up how they do things for developing ver 2.xx. i dont have the link to that post where he said it, but it was something like 'maybe we'll release versions that just alter or add little bits at a time, rather than try to do the whole thing at once'. so, not quite sure what that might mean in terms of time and seeing something from FF, inc. on ver 2.xx in the near future, but hopefully, if he does it that way at all, it shldnt be a three year wait then again, he did say maybe, which also infers the possibility of 'maybe not'. lol. arent you glad i mentioned all this now?

Yeah i was wondering when someone was going to post about this. It seems like a great update and they have also optimized and are adding multi core support. I actually use Genetica more these days because it's not automatic rendering and seems a faster workflow for me. FF is great at doing effects though so i use FF for those more.

I will be interested to see what happens with V2 of FF though and if they do away with the way other peoples textures can be sold by others etc. This was always annoying to know and put me off posting more snippets/library textures totally. Since i have no interest in the mac version it has seemed like a while since FF last got new node content/features so as you say it will have to be a good update.

we're redesigning the internals to accommodate the new stuff. If everything goes right, even the first beta of v2.0 will pack a powerful punch.

you better hurry, i'm starting to drool so badly i'm dehydrating

I vote teaser screenshot.

I still have to see the new version of Genetica, but the previous version was disappointing if compared to Filter Forge. The images obtained with Genetica were, how to say, not.......... realistic.
I'm sure that Filter Forge 2.0 will be really great.

Yes! Expressions!!!

Oh, wait... no, it can't be! It's the dreaded component note entry field! Nooooooo!

I dunno, Genetica 3.5 Super Pro XXL Massive Nu Lemon Fresh Edition, blows FF out of the water (and costs what 2 1/2 times as much ha-ha). But, one good thing about Vlad's direction/leadership is that - FF V2 will surely build upon what's already working/established, and he's not too into competition so much as his/the companies vision. So whatever etc., but FF 2 better rawk in a lot of good ways eh.

we are going to hold you to this Red LOL

I hate to rain on your parade, Red, but according to The Discount Chart Of DOOM!, the discount counts down based on the time that passed since an individual's first visit to the FF website. However, I've been frequenting this website for almost a year (touches wrinkles on face), and logged in or not, the discount still says 40% for me.
Maybe I ate all my cookies...

Hmmm!! Blur!

Wow... you guys need to hire better graphic artists. It looks like v.2 has some user interface problems, I can hardly read half of it...

not related to the result component? whoa! you're giving us a true height mapper component? boy, i hope i'm seeing that right!

Looks to me like you're making it adjustable right in the Photoshop workspace.
