Suggest a new filter.
... pictures for about 4 days or so, even though the filter is almost done.
One quick question as well, if you look at another website and see a texture, such as some of the filters above, and make a filter to replicate the look are you violating any copyright laws?

Copyright question on filters
... filters but can I use a FF filter to alter my image (or photo), and sell the IMAGE?"
absolutely. just be careful of doing this to other folks' images and selling those. that would be considered a 'derivative work' and you'd need to read the copyright law of your country to be sure that was safe. but on your own photos and other images, go crazy! :)
FF Ultra Pro
... onyXMaster. I'm no expert on US (or any other country, since my work is usually owned by someone else, with that being fixed in a contract, by revealing the existence of which I curse my soul till the end of the days, so it's not my business generally) copyright law, but even while reverse engineering might be permissible, it almost assuredly allowed for educational purposes only. I hardly believe that reverse engineering FF to export the .8bf filters and selling them would count as "educational ...

This is a really big topic. At the moment, I just want to point out that there are absolutely legal and ethical cases of using SD (or any similar generative ...
Selling a rendered Image

What does "intellectual property" in this context mean exactly? Can a user who runs a texture business and sells a rendered texture claim sole ownership of the texture ...
Second Life "merchant" may have your textures
Author: StevieJ. Yeah, the bottom line is to not submit texture filters if you are going to have a problem with straight results being resold as someone elses work.....I wish Vlad would put some tangible copyright protection in place to end it.....but hey, I'm just "a fly in the ointment" here..... ;) :D
Under the current circumstances, the best thing authors could do to make money off of them would be to unite and form their own "texture ...
Displacement mapping with FF [image]
... Unreal Engine 2, the one I used was Unreal Editor 4, Unreal Engine 3.
You can get Unreal Ed 4 by purchasing Roboblitz for only $15 here (http://www.roboblitz.com/HTML_SITE/main.shtml). It's a map editor. You can't sell games you make though due to copyright laws.
Unreal Editor 3 aka the runtime : see what it could do (http://www.unrealtechnology.com/html/technology/ue2.shtml)
Testing
Author: Presidio. Almost done testing~ There's a corner that pops up that I have to get rid of yet (can't see in this photo----> don't need help with it ... I'm okay). Just wanted to give a peek.
Have not thought of a name yet either~

I'll wait till it's done to put the other photos on but it creates the depth depending on the image.
Question----> Frame or not a frame?
First photo for comparison-> Click for larger ...

"All your filter are belong to someone else!"
Author: Sign Guy. If you look at the bottom, you will find a copyright notice in favor of Filter Forge, so it wouldn't be advisable IMO to upload anything here you wanted to retain rights in.
The logical thing to do is to create a central marketplace for filters, set your prices, determine who gets what %, what ...
Charcoal and Watercolor by ronviers
Author: Presidio. Okay Ron :D Going to use one of my computer mouse drawings... no wacom tablet ... painted by hand with the computer mouse for the samples.
These images are copyright as all my images and photos are. I do use my maiden name inital on my art. The J is for Jean... the H is for my maiden name. And also I've put Persidio on these so that no one is confused. The mouse drawings take anywhere from two weeks to a ...
Foxxee's Pearls And Beads by Foxxee
Author: Foxxee. Thanks Ahimsa ;)
When you first told me you made tags I did pause to wonder the very same thing.
I started out actually sharing things, though, in the AnnexCafe Graphics Component group. We shared only copyright free things (as best as most knew if they didn't make them their selves) images and objects we created. It was great fun but I've since gone back for quite some time now... busy with RL you know :-p
Intellectuall rights??
Author: Kraellin. you own the filters you create. that's stated in the filter submission agreement. you hold the copyright. however, BY SUBMITTING TO THE LIBRARY you are licensing to FF the right to publish and re-license to the end users, the right to do almost anything to those filters, including the presets, and including making derivative, protected works, and ...
Light version of FF and comercial FF filters
... this particular problem can hurt sales for Filter Forge with the Graphics Community at large.
Remember that apparently is your target audience on the web... also remember that this particular audience was responsible for the high alert given to copyrights thru the past years. And the reason I made that post Vlad was because that audience is not going to post to you or open communication- they simply will be turned off by your product. When sales decline and competition takes customers away and ...

"All your filter are belong to someone else!"
Author: StevieJ. I just finished reading the entire EULA again.....and I have absolutely no doubt that this is stated, intended, and implied:
AUTHORS HOLD THE COPYRIGHTS TO THE PRESET IMAGES OF THEIR FILTERS AND NO ONE ELSE CAN SELL THEM AS THEIR OWN WITHOUT ANY CREATIVE INPUT TO THEM UNLESS THEY HAVE AGREEMENT, PERMISSION, OR CONSENT FROM THE AUTHOR
So to all you filter authors out there.....there are some ...

It depends how it's done plus im guessing people would want something more complex than a seamless tile put on a model but thats just my opinion.
"I have bought texture packs in the past but I wanted to use FF to create textures without any copyright concerns. However, with the new EULA it looks like I am going to be constantly hassled about staying within the guidelines and I really do not want to be known as a parasite, even if unintentionally on my part. Therefore I will stick to just ...

How will EULA effect usage?
Author: Wiseguy. HI there,
I'm a content creator for second life myself and I came across this site over a SL forum. Now copyright violation is a big thing in SL and specially textures are on the daily rip and sell list. Maybe the original creator of this texture might find this forum post interesting.
