We'll see. Like I said, no HU's for me yet. And I reached the second deadlike (70 days) a bit back, with no HU in sight. Which forced me to reevaluate my position and come to the conclusion that trying to get a License through HU's isn't useful for the kind of Filter I tend to make (Veined Marble is more of a fluke in being a Material Filter, it was made for use in a diffrent filter, which you will see probably in the New Year).

So anyhow, I decided to say 'OK, never mind, no more running after HU's.' I bought a 'Standard Edition' License, since I don't use the Professional Features much anyhow, that cost only 125 Euro. So now I'm gonna work on getting 5 HU's for the Lifetime Update, but I'm gonna do it slowly and on my own timeline. Each filter will be made the best I can, and they will take however long it takes to make, no more looking at any deadlines Luckily, it looks like it will be a long time still before FForge 2 will be out and I will actually need that upgrade.

Thank you for your kind offer, but, as you see, it is no longer necessary, I decided to cough up a bit of cash to reduce the hassle of running after these extensions where you never know if you'll ever get a HU anyhow. Thats my main complaint about the HU system btw, an author cannot really see how close any filter is to actually getting a HU, so he's forced to just blindly guess what will be liked with no feedback. It would be useful if we could at least see the usage stats of our *own* filters.

Oh I will definitely continue submitting, only I will a) work longer on each filter, you saw that in Veined Marble, almost a month to finalize it where before I would have gotten it out within a week. b) Not spend such a large percentage of my free time on FForge. After all, if I total up the time I spent on my previous filters I'd be WAY under a decent wage per hour even if I HAD gotten a free license, so it is really not that good a deal. On the other hand, I like playing with FForge as a hobby, so I will likely continue doing so.

Beautiful filter!

P.S.: Persidio: I sent you some mail (through the FForge mail tool) about one of your filters a few months back, but never received a reply, did that ever reach you ?

Hi ya Miavir No it sure didn't. I would have replied. So sorry.

Glad you like. and getting my first HU on it so long after I posted it surprised me no end

It takes awhile. It's nice isn't it?

Great filter; one of the best because the veined marble is so real looking.
A marvelous job is done. Wonderful. A filter definately worth to use.
