Beta 14 is out — you're welcome to download and play

I personally recommend the new 3D noises:

When I ran the free version of FF14 beta on my Mac, it did this at the opening:

Rachel, thanks for the report. Did FF open correctly after that?
Also, did you change the default installation folder?

Thank you Rachel, we identified and hopefully fixed the issue. Please redownload and reinstall:

GMM: the upd ate for FF14 beta on the Mac has fixed the issue. The Z axis addition for noise (implemented as phase) looks interesting, especially for animation. Question: is there a se t of values for phase to match the non-phase version? Or does the implementation prevent that?
S. Obermann: if I understand you correctly, your FF13 filters will now have older versions of the noise components, and will be tagged that way in the filter editor. If you want the new functionality you will have to replace the old components with the new ones and Enable Phase.

I have downloaded it and asked for a key, but it is telling me that my key from FF 13 is wrong. Should I worry?

Nothing to worry about, every FF version requires a different license key. You can request a free beta key from the beta page:

Please forget about it. I might have found the problem

This is the result for Noise in Filter Editor of FF14beta

The Enable Phase checkbox is not in the editor view. Instead it is in the lower left pane when you select the component.

I agree with you about the new 3D noises

WOW!! This is a very good thing that is already available the new FF 14 with such awesome and amazing feature to be able to animate the noises as these have a really wide extension to do many possible things, congratulations and thanks very much for making this.

Animated Noise example

Animated 3D Noise Components Link to Animated 3D Noise Components help Filter Forge 14.0 updates six familiar components from the Noise category: Perlin Noise, Blocks, Cells, Chaffs, Pyramids, and Techno. All these noise components can now be animated along the Z-axis to give authors more room for creativity. Algorithms for Perlin and Worley noises are inherently 3D. Previous Filter Forge versions implemented noise as a two-dimensional slice cut from a three-dimensional noise space. Filter Forge 14 adds the Phase parameter to all Noise components that shifts the slice plane along the Z-axis (perpendicular to the screen, or back and forth from our point of view). It gives filters authors a "boiling noise" effect often used in animation.

I think that this will really give a much bigger options and a new world and way to animate things not possible before.

Thanks very much Rachel for showing this as I did not know it and is very good. I do not know why is not activated already by default as the other values.

I have to say that after testing the phase animation of noises, is really awesome and amazing what could be done and opens a whole new way to make animations

Thanks very much for creating this
