Thanks for reply, Indigo Ray. Yes I saw that FF 4.0 can group nodes. This is great for reducing numbers of nodes in filters and make filter more understandable. But I would like to have ability of linking filters into another filter. It let us create more complex filters and use different existent assets.

Congratulations with the game and the simulations!

Writing extensive tutorials is quite a toil and I appreciate the work you have put down with your inspirational articles. The practical application of various graphical tools and methods to achieve specific results is always an interesting subject.

I am impressed with the water-simulation as well as the simulated sky:

What I like about FilterForge is the open architecture which lets you create your own filters fr om scratch, the freedom of using your own Lua scripts and the variety of different in-built nodes. The extensive library is helpful not only as a free resource, but also as an 'open tutorial' of filter artists wh ere you can learn different techniques of solving particular graphical problems and achieve desired effects. The node-based architecture helps you to think about graphics in an organized and sequenced manner, to find optimal solutions to a given problem.

Like marwyin have said, I also share the opinion already shared above and can say the same things

very long and very detailed explained and easy to understand with many screenshot to show it really well AND also is very good that you share and offer the real FF filters

Thanks and congratulaions for such awesome and amazing artistic work you have done and for making these well done articles
