  • Lighting environments
    Author: Kraellin. yes, you can make your own lighting environments. the instructions are here in the forums somewhere. i'll give you my memory of how to do it, but you shld find the instructions to be sure. you take any .jpg file and simply manually convert the extension to .exr . next, start up filter ...

  • Ideas for Filter Forge
    Author: Kraellin. i never throw out an idea, KG, and with 20, 30, and even over 40 versions of a filter, sometimes, it adds up after a while ;) now, that's also including presets, library filters, custom environments, normal environments and a few other related folders :)

  • Custom Reflection Environment?
    Author: ScottT1224. Is there a way to make your own reflection environments? I noticed they have the .ffenv file extension. So I thought what the heck, save a jpeg file with that extension, of course it didn't work. :D But would that be a possible option in the future?

  • New Processing Components: Illumination, Shadow, Reflect
    Author: Vladimir Golovin. As for Reflect -- FF would need tools/components to produce procedural spherical maps / cube maps to produce the environment for the component. And we dropped that idea because procedural environments don't look as good as high-quality real-world HDRIs.

  • Environment Imput for Filter Type: Surface
    Author: onyXMaster. A minor notice -- custom environments may be used to some degree (error is around 7% on a 1024x1024 image with hemisphere and a 400x200 input environment and is invisible to an untraied eye) without special preparation (latitude/longitude format still required) if the "reflection ...

  • SpiralGraphics announces Genetica 3.0!
    ... months ago, about the same time when we first started discussing EULA here, got implemented. Gives you a nice warm and fuzzy to know they listen to their users. Not only ful control over the parameters, but ability to create your own IBL ligting environments, from scratch. You could have one texture do IBL illumination of another... Or just render the environment image out to use in another program, like Max or Maya or Bryce or Poser or any other IBL handling renderer. EDIT: I forgot to mention,...

  • Carl's Corner :)
    Author: ronviers. "Beliria wrote: Has there ever been a period in history that can be classed as a healthy natural environment?" If you confine "history" to the duration of this camera's exposure and its field of view - then I would classify that as one of the first healthy and natural environments know to man.

    Author: Beliria. "ronviers wrote: If you confine "history" to the duration of this camera's exposure and its field of view - then I would classify that as one of the first healthy and natural environments know to man. " I disagree Its an artificial environment so there for it can't be classed as natural. As to healthy that is debatable ;)

  • Beta phase must be ending very soon
    Author: xirja. Kinda sad that 'user's' filters are no longer being included in the 'official' library, but yeah, loving that new rainbow filter! "Some new HDRI environment maps? http://www.filterforge.com/filters/11760.html" Alas no new HDRI maps. It must have been some unfamiliar region of an already included HDRI environment.

  • More Options And Control Over Lighting
    Author: Crapadilla. "StevieJ wrote: The ability to 'check off' the lighting lighting environments to be included in variations would help alot.... " When generating variations for presets, an option to restrict randomization to the default HDRIs delivered with FF would definitely be convenient. A customizable per-filter environment ...

  • HDRI Upload/download Library?
    Author: Kraellin. infiniview, you can make your own lighting environments fairly easily. i've written this up in another thread and i got the information from, i think it was vladimir and onyxmaster. so, i simply condensed the material. as to actual hdri images, that's basically bracketing by exposure and then ...

  • creating new lighting environment
    Author: Aminique. Hello All, can somebody tell me if it is possible to create OpenEXR (.exr) and Portable Float Map (.pfm). files from pictures in .jpg format? If yes, how to proceed? My goal is to make new lighting environment from my photos. Thanks and best regards to all. Aminique.

  • Is HDRI Raisosity?
    Author: ronviers. Thanks onyXMaster, The history site was very helpful as well as interesting. I have to check out ‘Flight of the Navigator’ one of these days. So if I have this straight; radiosity is 3D environment lighting, while HDRI lighting is photo-based reflection mapping using environment maps generated by full view panoramic images (what is the term for spherical panoramas?).

  • [UI] Input Boxes to Position HDRI/Environment
    Author: Laura.... The click-and-drag control for positioning the HDRI/Environment can be fiddly. Getting a precise arrangement and/or returning to a previous one can be all but impossible. Adding textbox controls (e.g., x-, y-, and z-axis) would help greatly. As an example, Adobe Illustrator's implementation uses both click-and-drag ...

  • Why does colour change
    Author: Sphinx.. Shari, it is likely that you are working with a surface mode filter (You can tell if the Lightning tab, with the environment image ball is there). The colors in the environment will influence the overall toning of the output. It might be possible to tweak a given filter for minimal toning of flat surfaces (i.e. the image in a frame or something). Can you list ...

  • Carl's Corner :)
    ... ;)-ing! ;) "ronviers wrote: Are you saying there are no congenital birth defects that result in increased aggression or emotional detachment? Confused" Counter question: Do you think birth defects are common in a healthy natural environment? Or is it rather the case that the environment that we have created results in an increased number of birth defects?

  • HDRI environment sphere rotation and lighting control
    Author: Tuxmask75. Heya, hoping to get more precise controls for HDRI environment sphere and its lights that you can add. I was hoping for a digit type in box or something since dragging the sphere around to match angles is kind of a pain. We also cant see where the current spheres rotation is. because its lacking a visual ...

  • 2 Free Filter Forge Environment HDRI's
    ... fantastic reflections both when crisp and when blurriness is introduced, although it does require the brightness to be ramped up quite a bit, between 450 / 480 - also, at high saturations, this HDRI looks fantastic on polished surfaces.

  • Carl's Corner :)
    .....which makes them like that. For example, take a child born into an abusive family.....in all likelyhood, that child will grow up to be abusive themselves. Take the same child from the same abusive parents and put them into a loving, caring, family environment right after birth.....and it will be much more likely that child will grow up to be a loving, caring person who is not abusive. Just my opinion on it..." "StevieJ wrote: You guys know what I mean.....It would be nice if ingrained ...

  • JPG to EXR library
    Author: Kraellin. and here's a screenshot of how it looks once imported. these wont necessarily be stellar examples of lighting environments and may only work well in certain filters, but i wanted to show some examples and also to show that texture filters can be a great source of lighting environments. ron's orb filter is a texture filter and seems well suited to this and since ...
