A lot of people but I don't know the exact number, if you didn't know you can get 2 extension on your trial by contacting FF each time you 30 is up [ 90 days total ] and it varies drasticly how long a filter can take to go hu but it is quite possible to get your 3 hu's - by looking at the popular filters section [ up to page 22 or 23 are Hu's ] you might get an idea of the filters people will use [ though there is some great filters that don't go HU ], as a generalization - fast render, descriptive control [ not too many of them, 6 to 10 if possible ], useful filters not like green blob, textures that are photo realistic and different [ for example there are many rock and wood filters so it would have to be special to get hu's on with one ], good photo effect filters, FF is saturated with kaliedescope patterns again it would have to be special for Hu.......... long answer to a simple question LOL hope there is something in there that helps

as i recall, there were about 316 free copies given out in the beta test days. after that, i've no idea. jffe and steve have both given away freebies to various users here and we've seen several get freebies on HU's, but i dont know if that's a drop in the bucket or the full gamut. i do know that FF Inc. has been pretty generous with their program of HU and freebies.

Sweet, seems like a cool company. It makes me chuckle, all my filters get accepted right around midnight every day, seems like someone else thinks night time is the right time.

How many of the popular filters do you think were simply coveted by people rendering out the filters and reselling them as textures? I saw that thread about it when the Eula changed, I just wasn't sure how long ago that was. I noticed even kindof lousy looking brick and concrete textures were pretty popular and wasn't sure if that might be the reason.

Have you guys noticed how FF filters work differently than Photoshop distort filters? It seemed like while Photoshop's distort filters have an active selection override the canvas aspect ratio, the FF filters still use the aspect ratio to calculate the patterns or distortions. Is there a way to stop that?

V6 looks vaguely chocolaty, had a sudden craving for an Areo bar..

We don't get to have Aero bars in the states.
The pattern does kindof look like the Aero bubbles though.
