Shar´s Forge

You can also use your own window panes if I remember right.Still some things missing tho, like the wooden nails. I might do a proper version for release one day.

And the bricks filter, HOLLY SMOKES! I wasn't even close to figuring this one out. Didn't even think about using bomber's size and repeat settings this way smile:|

Here is another one which makes rags from your image. dunno if that would be useful to someone? Have to check if we got something like that.

Feel free to use your customized version, but I will not implement that. It´s ment to be a texture filter once it´s finished and adding that option will just break the randomizer

With Spaceray Mode

Another of my unsubmitted toys. Noise image mixer. Rather trivial filter, for me at least. I love the effects tho. should I submit that?

the images should be roughly the same size tho.Haven´t found a way around that yet.

When in doubt, release
You never know when this filter will save someone day, when it's exactly what he needs.

Besides, I like that noise thingy

better visible on plain black

Yup, that feature was in from start, haven´t tried it yet but should work just as well as the noise. I´ll go look for a nice stained glass texture and test it

Better with alpha. Now I just need to figure out how to taper the beam.

aaaaaah

Wow Shar ! Love it ! See this cute cat in the monster's thread LOL Did you made it with FF ?

funny flower to go with my characters
(yes, done with FF ^^)

I might submit that eventually but atm it´s "look but don´t touch".
(disappointing I know)

you meanie!

How about a contact sheet of animals too?

Magic!

Basically I´m doing the same as I would in Photoshop or Illustrator, just combine shapes and sprinkle in some noise for the handdrawn look.
The flowers started out with Voldemorts petal snippet. I needed a simple cartoony flower and couldn´t find anything in the library. Well me and making something simple...once I started playing with the snippet I found lots of funny stuff to add in. And I´m still not done

The animals are a lot more complex. It´s the same technique but you can pose them, so I have to find the correct rotation points for all the limbs and stuff. Making it work together perfectly is extremely tricky and there are still lots of places where it doesn´t work right.
I also haven´t done everything I want yet, for example they have now "fingers" yet.
And I already have more controls than fit in the maxed out window >-<
But with the new grouping options it will be so much easier to edit

Will post one once I added color and make them look nicer

So you literally made puppets in FilterForge like I would in After Effects. You know how damn impressed I am?

Aww thx you two

I added coloring and a pattern. Still lots of work to be done but with the new group feature this has become so much easier. Grouping all the bodyparts gave me a much better overview of what´s going on. I was able to get rid of tons of unnecessary blends by reorganizing stuff and using multiblend. It also made some problems I had easier and gave me possible solutions for some unsolved ones.

Here´s a colored one.

Wow, Wow and Wow ! I need these filters ! Very very nice Shar. Cute and funny animals, wild animals. Wow !

Hehe Gigi, are you working on a cartoon for us?

Btw here is the Volumetric Light Filter. It´s not good enough to submit yet.

Volumetric Light.ffxml

Here too

Please, continue to create cartoons... you work so perfectly!

Morgan has count 60 controls on one of my filters. So 50 for me... no problem. If you kake a light version, I would like to have your first version with the 50 controls. I will use this for sure in the monsters thread with a lot of fun and I'm sure that Gene will love it too.

If you have 50 controls, it is because it is necessary for that kind of stuff.

I will leave the volcano as is. But I do not like the straight lines each side of the crater. What you see at the front, it is an icyscape LOL. The second one was with snowyspace.
