This is still not complete, the presets aren't finished and the first two are really basic. The others ended up getting really messed up for some reason so that needs to be fixed. Any improvements, suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. smile:)

A much cleaner one with more presets and better grunge effect (replacing the black noise on the original)is coming.

Speaking of "original", this filter definitely caught my eye when I was paging through the recent submissions list. Looks like a lot of fun! Not sure how many actual situations I'd use it in, but the wilder presets (that look more like sheets of candy than traffic lights) offer hints at further potential. Great stuff, Darth Axel 007 (what an original name too!).

I'm enjoying using Filter Forge to create http://torley.com/textures

Thanks, the filter finally got updated. I thought variation 3 and the red and orange ones looked like candy too. The default and the first two looked like traffic lights the others were very random. Thanks though. smile:)

I like this one a lot. A few suggestions for this. Put an option to put a grid over the light itself, I have seen that alot of traffic lights. Second I would like to see the option to change the color of the bolts independant to the color of the sign. That would be cool. These are just suggestions, it looks cool.

@ Stevie, It already is glass isn't it? It's clear, look at it in detail. I'm guessing it isn't transparent enough? I don't know, I'll just include a slider for transparency of the glass.

Here's how it is with a grid. Good? Working on bolt color.

just meant in agreement with Redcap's suggestion to add the grid smile:)

Suggest trying highpass on grid then refraction.....so the grid and everything looks like it is made out of glass smile:)

Hope you don't take my suggestions the wrong way.....because I think this is one of the most creative filters I've seen lately smile:)

i would think the bolts would be painted as rust prevention.

the thing i'd like to see is a top and bottom for 3d use.

If wishes were horses... there'd be a whole lot of horse crap to clean up!

I already updated it with Stevie's and Redcaps suggestions. A second update is on the way to include a top and bottom later. Tomorrow, sorry.

Definitely a filter that grabs your attention (STOP! Hahahaa! GO!)! I love object creation filters and you've done an excellent job on this one Darth Axel 007 ^_^ The grid version also looks good, keep up the great work!
