Does anyone wants to suggest or make any new FF filter challenge?

You should start a challenge yourself, and contribute to this forum by also doing the challenge you set forth. I'd gladly follow you up on that. Otherwise if you got nothing, I got tons of nasty challenges I've tried myself but failed which can easily be new challenges for others.

Right right, I understand where you are with your levels. I'm more saying you should make a challenge on your level. Even stuff like make 7 fun designs in 7 days is a fun challenge. Or make 10 simple textures in a month is a great challenge to pick up and try. Those challenges you've linked are exceptional. I suspect only 10% or 20% of the community to even be able to engage in them. Which is why they're impressive but they're quite reserved.

It's a bit idealist but I'd rather have a challenge where anybody can engage in them. People typically would just leave praise and stuff but what counts more is somebody at least trying to construct themselves a solution to that challenge. As an author, I sometimes feel like what I leave around just gets leeched off like items on a supermarket shelf. I'm sure people are better than that, but my point is that I don't want a challenge where nobody does nothing. I prefer to see effort made together as a group than 1 person trying everything. Sure we all have agendas in our lives and our personal problems but that's what a forum is, anybody can contribute material if it suits the topic.

But like I say, that's kinda ideal. In the end people are gonna be people so I don't expect anybody to be on the same page with me.

And sure! I had a couple ideas for a challenge which others will totally be able to join. But I really don't want it to just become "Oh hey pretty filters... here are some example pictures."

ye? haha. Nasty challenges are just nasty... let me just say I don't think they're naturally doable in FilterForge to begin with.

[Edit] Clarified some points.

A side note: I occasionally check the "Feature Request" threads to see if there is something that could be done with the existing tools. These could be used as challenges, too.

Hey,
How about more texture oriented contest. Not so technical, like the previous ones, but something where the eye for colours and material would be as important. Technical advancement would still help, of course.

An example: A snowy roof texture.
A texture of a roof with a slider for the level of "snowiness" - the snow would appear with respect to the slates/tiles shapes. Something along these lines:

or this:
http://www.bestourism.com/img/items/b..._15860.jpg

As you can see, when the snow starts to melt, it starts from the top, remaining for the longest time at the bottom section.

The shape of tiles/slates would be up to the author. And the more control over the way snow appears/dissapears the better.


Or another idea - copy a photgraph based texture as close as possible.
Examples:

http://www.cgtextures.com/texview.php...0cu992h021

http://www.cgtextures.com/texview.php...0cu992h021

The one who's able to mimic the texture closest to the photograph wins.

Feel free to come up with some other examples. But the general idea is to get some useful stuff as a result.

I think I have another possible challenge coming from the image shown in the home page of filter forge

It could be good to be able to have about 5 or 10 color controls to load your own images or photos and if wanted add to them a simple frame and scatter them as shown in the image below, and should have a drop shadow in each one

The problem I see with this is that in Bomber there is no spacing control or feature to control the images so I do not know if this would be possible to make or not.

Other problem would be to make them shown in perspective like the image below, BUT I think that it would not be needed to do it inside in FF, you could make it flat 2D inside FF in frontal view, and then take it into Photoshop (or any software that could do 3D transformations) and give very easily the perspective.

I have just tested and have done a filter that can resize and put an image inside a frame WITHOUT cropping and loosing any part of the photo or image as it happens in some frame filters, so this is not a problem.

Skybase That's kinda vague....

Sorry that I may have explained wrong, I have seen on some FF filters that make a frame, that this frame is OVER the original source image and will COVER part of the original source image, so it will be cropped and you will be loosing a part of the original image, so the original image is NOT included inside the frame, is like the frame is "glued" over the original image

For example



Here you can see that the Lifesaver image is NOT the full one and has been cut and cropped when using this polaroid frame.

Here is another example



Well in my frame filter you can resize the frame and the original image will NOT be cut at all and will be FULLY included inside the new created frame, and nothing of it will be lost

I was going to submit my frame filter but I had a problem with a feature I want to add, and I could not do it yet.

2 years after the last post, I want to make the same question of the title, now that there are new and experienced filter forgers that make cool, artistic and interesting things, like for example Rick Duim and Ramlyn
