Hello, I've created my first texture as an example for a FF tutorial I've just posted on my site.
Creating a wet and muddy rock texture with Filter Forge Thanks! Enrique Flouret  |

If I'm not mistaken, this is the first 3rd-party tutorial for Filter Forge (and we're not even commercially released!) -- thank you Enrique, keep them coming!

Thanks Vladimir. I'm really impressed with all the textures I see here and I'm glad that somebody had the great idea of writing such a plugin for Photoshop. For years I've been drooling in front of procedural texture generators for 3d software that never made it to Photoshop.
Instead, until now, we had simple, presets driven, textures plugins with almost no ground for creativity. As I state on my tutorial, the educational value of this plugin in incredible. Just by playing around with it you can learn a lot of image manipulation and operations. I chose to make that rocks texture because, although very simple for Filter Forge, it is very difficult to get such a stones pattern in Photoshop. Enrique |

Its funny you mention this. This is one reason I came to this site to try out FF. A friend and I were talking years ago about this kind of app. Some apps geared towards the music side use editors that are somewhat similar. As far as connections and components. Anyway we were talking of how it would be cool if there was a photoshop plugin where one could make there own but had a similar editing system as the music apps. But now here we are.

Thanks Whitedove! but be aware that it is a basic tutorial. It is very long because I had to use lots of screenshots, but it's still basic.
CFandM, I'd love to play with music software like FilterForge. Can you give me some names? I remember that five years ago (even before the EyeCandy textures era) I was trying to create a textures plugin for Photoshop and couldn't find anyone with enogh graphics programming knowledge. So, with my very basic knowledge of programming I tried FilterMeister with no luck and then tried Adobe SDK (of course I couldn't even compile the examples!). Then, I moved to Visual Basic to build some kind of prototype for a plugin or application (to pass it over a programmer) but the only I could do was to translate with success some renderman Math and Noise libraries and then I gave up. This software is the closest to developing a plugin I can be without being a programmer. Enrique |

Well there are two I can think of at the moment. One can be found on the companies site. The name of that app is reaktor from nativeinstruments. Heres when this app came out. Looking more like FF then the new one. http://www.prorec.com/prorec/articles...F30012D8C4 The other one is called RetroAS from a company called Bitheadz. It came out in 1998 through 2001 I think. But I have not seen or heard from that company since as far as updates and even the main site points to some search page so it might be hard to find. Heres a write up. http://www.prorec.com/prorec/articles...F3001B04C0 Stupid things happen to computers for stupid reasons at stupid times! |
