Derelict by Carl

Looks good mate, although the download isnt working for me:

EDIT hmmm this D/L isnt working either, same error: http://www.filterforge.com/filters/7860.html

Thanks Vladimir, all working now.

You win my "Destroyed look award." This will be used.

Ive been looking at this and wondering... couldent you put like any texture inside the rust areas and accomplish the effect? Just curious, Im really likeing this filter a lil to much.

Thanks for the comments all

I almost called it 'Six month in a leaky boat' [ SplitEnz ] a bit long - yours is more worrying

The artwork is nice -- have you considered extending it to 'widescreen' format and submitting it to the gallery?

Ye I think you get what im saying, the rust isnt specific, meaning that you have effectivley accomplished a deteriation filter for anything, not specifically metal objects.

Thanks Angela hope it works well for you

Love this filter Carl, one of my new all-time faves! NICE!

Thanks Carl... I use your filters often! I recently submitted a work to the gallery where I used two of your filters... http://www.filterforge.com/gallery/83.html

Thanks for your hard & excellent works!

Did a sticker for a band and this is how it turned out! Thanks! They LOVE it!

(minus the black background)

Very cool design Thrash and the filter works beautifully on it, thanks for sharing

Haven't tried, I'll see what I can do, some times thing go to gether, other times ... send me an email and I'll attach the filter [ when it's done ]

well it turned out pretty grungy, with a good range off looks, it been done in FF1 and submitted

You the MAN Carl! I'll tweak with it and let you know! Thanks a MILLION! Did you name it "Thrash"?

well there has been a hitch, the filter was rejected for being too grungy ........ actual the render time, it was slowish [ 2 min 24 sec on a quad core ] ....... tried speeding it up, but the look died .......... so it's diverged to something new ....... I'll resubmit when it's ready, and Thrash does seem to describe the filter

Hey there Ron & Craig

LOL I love your confidence - a little misguided

Too grungy? Huh? There are a few 1000 filters on here have little or no use to me and this is one I could use on a daily basis! Say it isn't so!

As far as speed, I have no issue with a 2010 i7 chip overclocked to infinity darn near running on 1600mhz DDR3 memory through a twin SLI of two 1Gb GTX275 nVidia GPUs. This box doesn't even SWEAT on Filter Forge. I render full size snowboard graphics at 300dpi (up to 54" long), so this filter won't even raise an eyebrow.

Can I get the filter from you directly and save it as one of "My Filters"? Is that possible?

To grungy that's ridiculous I have used this to make papers over and over with my blended and its fabulous is the version rejected 2.0 or 1.0 if its one I want it too

The new one has been submitted [ 1.24 now instead of 2.27 ] hopefully it will get past the FF time police

I agree, at the moment there is little reward for submitting to the library for long term authors and they would be more reluctent to give them away in a thread. You may have noticed the lack of textures being submitted of FF2 which is a great shame as sales of FF2 would surely increase with a more impressive FF2 selection with wow value. I like the idea of supporting FF by submitting filters as the program has given me great enjoyment and allowed me to create my own art as I want it to look, which no other program has allowed me.
I have thought of starting a thread where I sell filter that are time rejected by FF, don't know how they would feel about it, one would hope they would see it as more incentive for people to buy the program

If a filter is slow all that needs to be done is put a rating on it. Maybe something like a green, yellow, red rating system with red being excessive render time. There's a filter called "Peeling Paint" which takes longer to render than "Thrash" does, at least on my machine. I love that filter too but I'm glad someone didn't axe it just because it took a long time. I say let the user decide whats too much. The result is what I'm looking for, damned be the time to get it.
