Hello everyone; I just downloaded this program 2days ago...needless to say i'm a bit confused....I downloaded a filter by indigo ray called radical tiles...I went into the factory files and by fooling around in there came up with this...Attached....now dumb question number 2 does this now count as something of mine or is it an off set of his?? and can I upload it to count towards the free program give away......If not can you please explain what does or does not count

TD is correct. the only thing i'll add is, FF inc. does monitor submissions for clones and will disallow that submission if it's too similar to another. what their standards for this are you would need a response from them. but, we have seen a few rejected because of being too much of a clone of another.

so, it's pretty much an arbitrary as to what FF inc. will allow or wont and i dont know of any laid in concrete rules or even guides for this. i'd just use my common sense and ask myself if this is 'my filter' or 'someone else's' filter and if it's the former, then i might give credit for someone else's ideas or work and submit, but if it's someone's elses ideas and works primarily, and all i've done is a couple of tweaks, why, i just leave it in my filters for my own use.

Anyway, Trish, it's hard to see exactly what you did in the little image you posted.
You could try posting a larger image or maybe even the filter file. At the least, you should acknowledge me in the filter description. If you look at my "radical tiles" filter, you'll see that even that was based on a filter called "Radial Spokes Snippet".
My mistake for not acknowledging TD directly.

I hope you have fun with filter forge. I think it's a really nifty program and I'm upset that my 30-day trial will end in only 4 days

C'mon 3 HU's!!!

I think I'll do that right now. How hard is it to get a "yes" out of them?

I believe we've found an filter forge stalker, folks! (jk!)

Indigo ray if your there this one is for you in my being stupid all I saved was the image so here is another one Radical tiles presets library 64321.ffxml

I'm back again I looked over your filters that you made and I didn't really change you filter I changed the factory pre set but when I saved the file it came up as radical tiles...I feel like dumb and dumber The biggest image this reply will let me post is 400 by 400...again I just want to be sure I am not over stepping on your work or anyone elses...My normal stuff is Bryce and Houdini thanks again

Yeah, you got it -- changing a preset doesn't count as a new filter. You'll actually have to create or edit it in the Filter Editor.

BTW, I use Bryce quite a lot and import FF textures into it as pictures. Works great.
