Whitedove,
I thought I would take a crack at your photo since we have made you our poster girl. Hope you like it. Its from a new filter I just submitted pencil sketch.

donna, i think saturated curves was rejected under the old system. it's one on my list to re-do. multiswitch is finally in a near finished state but still playing around with tweaks. it's an interesting filter but still very disordered andi may not release it until we get more controls to play with. that might help it to a bit less confusing. i could explain further but it wouldnt do the confusion justice

i have also figured out how to get around the 10 control limit. i now have an unlimited number of controls in my filters if i want

this is the hosta leaf picture with northern shadow's 'colored pencilcrayon drawing' filter applied. this is a marvelous filter! photoart folks will love this one!

Hi Craig,
I can't get over all the different variations you can get with the filters. I think I'm getting addicted to this!
Here's a fantasy dustcover for an imaginary murder mystery...
I used CF and M's Cement Mixer Rose, Liquid Drops and Vladimir's Peeling Paint:

The pencil crayon looks really nice, good work northern shadow

I ran the leaf through the "adaptive tiling" filter.

That's nice - feel free to play around with it

donna, excellent on the 'bloody rose'!

ro, i know you know the thread that your polar coordinates reminds me of very nice. and when you first posted your 'adaptive tiling' filter, i think i commented on how brilliant, but i also wondered about its practical applications. i think you've just shown the way

momonline, fun filter, isnt it i played with that one a bit myself. it needs more, even with lucato's additions, but fun. it's also educational. there are some nice tricks in there.

and i love the gold and silver pattern. some of that gold even looks gem-like. very cool.

Here is an example of Simple Sketch. Creates some interesting effects and vaiations.

Very nice! The range of tones is perfect.
Donna

interesting texture and design, vladimir.

here's another from a new filter using the landscape pic.

craig

very cool, donna. i think we're going to see more filters doing things like that. i'm waiting for the 'craig can now draw like a pro' filter

craig

very cool, james. it reminds me of that toy/arts and crafts thing called 'brite lights' (i think that was the name) where you plugged colored lights into a grid and they'd light up.

craig

ah, so that's where your creative juices stem from

ok, here's one from a pattern maker type filter i havent released yet. (not released because of too many controls).

craig

thanks james these are very fun to do.

We already have it...it's called Simple Sketch.

yup. i agree.

craig

one more

bongo,

those are amazing! very cool how much of that was FF and how much was lightwave?

photoman,

glad to see some photo art type filters coming out. nice

craig

and here's one from 'a watercolor painting' by northernshadow:

What's this? I can't remember such a limitation.

kraellin,

all the texturing and rendering is in Lightwave. However, the textures themselves are all FF. I just bought fPrime today, so I'll be doing some more rendering now that it's darn near instantanious.

I generated a bump, specular and colormap from FF and imported them into LW. No procedurals from Lightwave at all.

If there is interest I will post work using FF generated textures. I like the idea of seeing what this software is capable of!
