Mardar Graphics Junkie Posts: 688 Filters: 61	Thanks DJI. CFandM did all the hard work making these beautiful backdrops for my imagination. I just dropped some graphics into them and applied an ancient Flaming Pear filter "Flood" and my new world came to life. All the mood and intrigue belong to him.

DJI Official Bologna Tester Posts: 4583 Filters: 257	I've heard you talk about this Flaming Pearl before so I just downloaded the .dills for the solar program and droped into my 8bf. shim in Paint.net and HEY! It works. So i'll see what's what. Thanx for the idea. "Art is quite useless." Oscar Wilde

CFandM ForgeSmith Posts: 4777 Filters: 268	Thanks DJI and Ramlyn.... Awesome examples Marlene.. Think my fav are the boat and the frog.. Stupid things happen to computers for stupid reasons at stupid times!

Mardar Graphics Junkie Posts: 688 Filters: 61	Those are my favorites too Chuck. The boat one has that gigantic rocky cliff that just screams deep exotic waters below. And the frog background, when I tinted it with green, looks like a lush jungle full of strange plants. I'm not a big fan of dragons and such, but your filter makes some very off world like backgrounds. They remind me of H. R. Giger and his Alien paintings.

Indigo Ray Adam Posts: 1442 Filters: 82	Magical! Chuck, this is awesome! And great examples, Mar! A little post-brightening helps sometimes.

Mardar Graphics Junkie Posts: 688 Filters: 61	Thanks Indigo. Post-brightening really made the colors pop. I'll try that next time too.

CFandM ForgeSmith Posts: 4777 Filters: 268	Thanks Adam glad you are enjoying this one...hmmm...That does make the colors stand out more...Perhaps I should update with the brightening in the filter... I'll have a go and see what I can come up with... Maybe I'll update with this method...It does not slow it down with this lighten method since it does not use the surface aspect....

Mardar Graphics Junkie Posts: 688 Filters: 61	Oh yes. This made a world of difference. Now the lighting can be done right in your filter. Great update Chuck. One more "water" pic then I'm moving on before you tire of me. This is "Birds of prey on a turbulent ocean"

CFandM ForgeSmith Posts: 4777 Filters: 268	Thanks Ron and yep can never have too many fractal filters... I see you found the update Marlene.. ..Thats quite all right post as much as you want I don't mind... Awesome "water" pic.. One trick with this update is if you move the brightness all the way to zero the point lights affect the fractal a bit as well......

Mardar Graphics Junkie Posts: 688 Filters: 61	Wow that is a nice fractal Chuck. The addition of the light controls really makes this filter expand out and makes it some much more useful. I can't stop playing with this one. I'm not getting any work done here at home though.
