Zephos Xyni says "Maximum w00tness!" Posts: 304 Filters: 31	Yeah, the effect on the tree works out great! Kind of reminds of the decorative engravings you see on walls sometimes. That filter might be really handy for making silhouette illustrations come alive! -Zephos

StevieJ Designer/Artist Posts: 11264 Filters: 163	Thanx It has all kinds of different effects on different pictures.....from metallic to glass depending on the original's 'smoothness'.....continuous solids turn to glass.....and rough detailed to a metallic.... Glad that you like it Here's some more aspects of it..... Steve "Buzzards gotta eat...same as worms..." - Clint :)

StevieJ Designer/Artist Posts: 11264 Filters: 163	I probably should have divided my metal filters up more....seems to be too much in one filter that a user might not know is there..... There's quite a bit that does neither glass or metal....more like color level noise, silver solarizing, silver high pass....etc Steve "Buzzards gotta eat...same as worms..." - Clint :)

CFandM ForgeSmith Posts: 4761 Filters: 266	Interesting, those last two are very cool looking..Are those the trees? The first one of these might have been a before the accident at the GlassWorks... Stupid things happen to computers for stupid reasons at stupid times!

ssamm Posts: 364 Filters: 21	StevieJ, Awesome stuff. Can you also post the original (pre-filter image) to the last (silver-esque) image? It's very cool! (It looks like some sort of waterfall landscape or something -- but I can't tell...)

StevieJ Designer/Artist Posts: 11264 Filters: 163	Thanx guys It means alot to me that you like it....you know, the positive reinforcement....and it helps alot when you point out faults so that I can fix them. I really appreciate the community 'feel' here.... I just realized that I have been making a HUGE mistake on all of my filters by not including an amount or percentage of effect from the original....thus my filters are full effects without anything in between....and now seem very limitted to me. I was thinking of a double blend from the original for surface and height before the result. Does anyone have any suggestions on the best way to do this? ssamm, thanks again for the cudo....here's the original.... Steve "Buzzards gotta eat...same as worms..." - Clint :)

ssamm Posts: 364 Filters: 21	Thanks for posting that image, StevieJ. It's interesting to see how it got changed. As far as making the filter be also "not full strength", I'm not sure what would look best... From what I remember the original was already mapped to the height (after blur and tone curve) so you might only need one blend for the metal-image and original-image into the surface? But also people can blend any filtered image in their Photoshop (or whatever program), so I don't see it as a "HUGE mistake". But I suppose your idea could make things more convenient... Hmmm, plus with those surface filters a blend before the height adhustments may look different than a blend afterwards -- I'm not sure(?).

Kraellin Kraellin Posts: 12749 Filters: 99	steve, not sure exactly what you're looking for on reducing the effect, but one way on imported image types is to just add a blend near the end. put an 'image' component on either the foreground or background node and your effect on the other. add a slider for the opacity node and you can move from more to less effect over the image. add another slider for 'mode' on that blend and get even more effects. also, on your waterfall, i ran it through CF's latest anaglyph filter. quite nice If wishes were horses... there'd be a whole lot of horse crap to clean up!

StevieJ Designer/Artist Posts: 11264 Filters: 163	Hey ssamm Yeah, I was thinking of it as a convenience because I don't like how you have to run the effect and then go back to take some of it off....pain in the arss and time consuming. Ya know, a "percent of effect" might be a great general feature inside of Filter Forge.... Hey Kraellin I've been fooloing around with that and can't get the effect all the way back to the original image. Since there is no way to skip the bad modes in blend, I have not been using them....and I have found that I can create all of them with the wave parameters. Hey, I'd love to have a peak at that pic Steve "Buzzards gotta eat...same as worms..." - Clint :)
