Beta 5.0 Stage 2 Teaser?
Author: Ramlyn. Yes, a speed improvement is surely welcome, if....... it doesn't require to abandon some versions of Windows/Mac.
As Skybase said, new components/options would be nice.
For example, a component to simulate easy 3D surfaces ( spheres, cubes, etc. ). Now we can do something similar with some filter but the filters are slow and the results aren't always good. We know that FF isn't a 3D graphic program, but adding just some basic component could help us to make better and faster filters....
3D filter preview
Author: Sjeiti. I've updated it a bit... you can now choose between torus, sphere, and plane (still having issues with the cube in WebGL). Filters without maps are now rendered with a simple phong shader. Browsers without WebGL now do software rendering ... ... flat plane (move light with mouse, height of light with wheel)

That's it for now, I really should be doing other stuff... :-p

I made a little thing for you people to check your bump maps with (well those of you who don't have a good 3d renderer that is).
You can check it out and download it here (http://www.sjeiti.com/ffpv3d/).
I took the liberty of including ... ... v2 of PaperVision3D is still in alpha I'll probably update the page in the near future. It might also be nice to also have a cube and a cylinder. And I hope I can find a way to also get those reflection maps in there.

Author: SpaceRay. I was not interested much before in hexagons tiling, BUT now that I have that one of the ways for making 3Dcubes in FF is the hexagons, so I want to ask how have you done your beautiful hexagon tiling as shown on page 18

I am asking this as in the end of page 3 is this
"Theedee wrote at teh end of page 3 of this thread:
Cubic mapping one step closer. Displacement didn't work out yet, but at least got a 3Dcube that you can turn about 45 degrees on the y axis (as far left and right as you can still see three sides).

So I wanted to know if this has been possible, or not, and if this ...
Using Filter Forge in Oil Rush game and Valley Benchmark
... anything else as far as I know. You're right, most computers have more RAM available that FF could (in theory) be utilizing.
To tell the truth, I discovered filter forge while searching the web for textures. I was "playing" a game called Cube 2 (Sauerbraten), which allows you to make your own "map", using octrees I think, and apply textures to faces. But now, I'd almost forgotten about 3d engines, instead spending my time trying to trick filter forge into rendering 3-d effects like perspective and lighting.
LAB#3015 Skybase
Author: Skybase. The material balls are default test objects which represent complex geometry with UV mapped surfaces. Test balls generally allows us to see how materials will look like wrapped on a curved surface, but it also can be any object really. (Cubes, cones, human heads... anything goes really.) The material balls I'm rendering here are default 3D objects which can be invoked when you create a new material. So nothing too special here.
Generally render engines would need an external 3D program such as Maya, Modo, 3Ds Max... and geometry from the program gets exported out (or packaged) to ...

... Simple filter, all lighting has been faked, so there are less artifacts and it renders faster.
I still had to render at 2x size to make it look good, but now I don't have to wait forever for the render.

Of course it would not be in 3D in FF, just in 2D.
