Create the Desired

I understand that the creation of filters occurs spontaneously. If the filter is turned on something similar - it's good. I do not like this.
1. If I have directed the idea, for example, to create the sand, I would like to easily implement it?
2. I have a texture in the picture, I would like to implement it as a filter in Filter Forge.
3. Textures filters should not look styryl, synthetic, so you need to somehow implement the spread of different elements on the tiling.

1. thing I meant to make it easier and more logical to create filters, and about the sand is just an example. There are too many ways to create something to choose the right path. If you look to filter editor, or rather any ingredient in it, it can be derived at the output of multiple connections, ie unlimited Number of times, for me it is very difficult, since I'm used to the direction of the tool is clear. In general, I need to simplify the process of creating, perhaps even the reduced opportunities, only to make it easier to create. By the way it's in the interests of the developers of the program, so that more people were interested in this program, and I can assure you such a lot, they just look at the filter editor, and simply abandon the program because to create a good filter, without the long weeks of the study does not work.

2. I had in mind: - I have an image with texture. I had a desire to make this jigsaw pattern in Filter Forge as a filter, 1:1. I think that at the moment this has never been done before, and I think it does not really do it.

3. I mean that just take any texture of the modern game, and compare with the filter of the Filter Forge, and you'll understand what I'm saying. Filters (textures) of the Filter Forge look too styryl, debris and dirt. Although I maybe too nit, because filters From Filter Forge is not designed for games, and more for visualization in 3D.

I think a lot of people experience that. But I also think there's just nothing simpler but complicated than FilterForge. It's a pretty deep tool.

The thing is, I always tell people just don't aim high first. You may have yourself something too complicated to begin with. For example, in this thread you mentioned puzzles, which have a very specific shape and form and the way they interlock is quite complicated. Where as your other example, "sand" is actually easier given it's really just a noise pattern. The idea is this: think simple. Break the texture down to its extreme basic components and work your way up the detail ladder. And technically this is how we make things in FilterForge.

What's on the FilterForge website is user-submitted work. It's a display of people making stuff with FilterForge, and not necessary geared towards a specific industry. When you say "not designed for games" that's like saying "Photoshop was not designed for architecture." FilterForge does not specify an industry it's in. You can use FilterForge for game texture creation, illustration, design, photography... etc etc... it's very broad. So saying that it wasn't made for games is just not true at all!

As for games, I can not quite right, maybe that 's something all the same use of the filters, to create what some not complex surfaces, such as napkins, curtains, ie textile texture in Filter Forge are not bad, but nothing more.

I'm more interested in how to create the desired filter? For example, I have a fine texture in the head, or in pictures, and I need to implement it as a filter in Filter Forge. Is it possible to do this?

For this program, I've been watching 5 years, and 5 years ago I was trying to create a filter, but to no avail. Of course, I have not studied deeply Function of the filter editor, but I do the whole process of any filter, seemed very complicated, not predictable.
Skybase - Use these links I will try to do something, but the fact is that I need really cool texture, rather than those that are made for them to be.
And just then, and everything becomes clear. Filter Forge was created to make filters, not texture. Filters resemble texture, and who lack this quality, he can use these filters. But the cool texture create each separately.

I have a question:? - Whether in Filter Forge to create a texture of almost anything?

This is the aluminum plate. You can do this in the Filter Forge?

Ooo dear, I forgot to reply to this one.

Absolutely doable in FilterForge.

CFandM has the point: use gradients!

There is nothing complicated to use gradient profile in FF, I know, but the fact is that there is a trick. This sheet has a machine- rolled aluminum, so if you look closely, you see the pattern of the rental. That's the difficulty. But I think that still it can be repeated in FF if have any experience in the construction of the filters.

This texture I gave just as an example, knowing that it is not complicated. I have a desire to do more complex textures, for example - stone, fire, earth, soil.

About the fact that you can use my texture as a pattern in FF 's what I thought, but there is one problem - the images are imported into the program have their native resolution, and an increase in converted into pixels, and I just want high resolution. For yet this can only be achieved by building the entire filter on the noise type Perlin noise. Here then are of giant proportions.

Here is a test image so its a low res image....

CFandM: Thank you, this filter is approximately similar to my texture. It will be necessary to examine the construction of the filter in the editor.
