Funny I downloaded that last week thinking the same thing Dilla. Although have been busy with other things that haven't had much of a chance to make many textures with it. Looks cool though

The current filter replaced the previous filter named "Plastic Basket", which was not popular. So, it's not a real rate.

Yes, agreed. There are many another "small details" which can make it looking much better. I have them as snippets at this time and hope to upgrade it asap.

D'U propose to organize a public opinion poll with the question:

"How often do you need a basket texture?"

Would be interesting to know. Or those hundreads downloads are only resellers?

P.S.

Wooden Weave 2 Preview V3


Wooden Weave 2 Preview V5

yes, i like those last two also, especially the very last one!

In plans small modification which will allow to mix it with an inserted image.

----It's old skool, an animated .gif I used to use PSP to make them, not sure if they are still supported these days though. Dunno about 'seamless morphing', you can take videos and turn them into little animated .gifs though, so if you went that route and exported say an .avi as a .gif with Vegas or something, then it should be as seamless as the video is.

animated gifs are quite still around. and i used psp's animation shop 3 when i do one. combined with psp for setting up and exporting, animation shop works great.

and steve, check out 'smart morph'. it's a freebie, or was. might still be. works great and easy to use. it's a true morpher and not a frames trick.

also, take a look at 'virtual dub' on sourceforge. this is a great little video editor.

i also use Pinnacle's studio version 9 for making slideshows. great little program but not a freebie.

i've been collecting and putting together a little sight and sound studio, particularly if it's free and i may do a blog entry over on retouchpro about this. there are some amazing freebies out there. i'll be jffe knows some more too.

----I'm kinda out of the freebies scene really, too much garbage, or half-arsed stuff at least (or just stuff with limitations that keep it from being used in any kind of efficient way). But for a beginner, or even mid level hobbyist there are lots of free apps out there to mess with these days. Half or more of the reason to pay for (for me to pay for at least) new/different tools (software or otherwise), is better workflow. New features can be good, don't get me wrong, but I look at workflow more than anything now = does it help me get whatever idea I have out faster or more completely, or is it just for tweaking and dorking around with.
----I haven't found much (if any) free graphics stuff lately that could be used to any real degree professionally. Genetica 3 was my last purchase, and I just grabbed that to get the early discount, since it may become more useful in V3 here (I currently don't use it at all really, and have spent maybe 12-18 hours total with it so far). So my own standards for graphics apps have gotten rather high/snobby the past couple years ha-ha, but there's always stuff out there if you don't mind googling for 3-4 hours at a time and exploring every cyber-alley, that's how I found FF back in the day
----But yeah, all that said, if you're into audio and looking for freeware, you can fill your hard drive by searching K-v-R http://www.kvraudio.com/get.php


jffe

thanks, jffe. i'm a bit lost, but i sorta think i understand most of that. vst is a set of agreements or something by some body of 'authorities'? yes, no? and there are then programs that comply to those standards and that of those, only ones with an open source sdk for plugins and such are on that site? lol. terminology, my bane.

i have cakewalk, or at least one version of it and i have audacity, both of which seem to comply with kvr's standards. so, will some or all of those plugins work in my programs? i'm confused.

Cool idea, you going to upload them versions?

i smell sock puppets! lol. just kidding, constantin. very well deserved HU!

shld have stopped at 2 v5. 2 v6 is raised too much for basket weave. looks great for inlay or raised checkerboard, but not a weave any more.

2 v5 is incredible as a weave, though. absolutely brilliant!
