Would it be possible to recreate the Impressionist Plugin in Filter Forge?
It is an ancient plugin but still regarded as the best for making pictures look like paintings and pencil drawings. But because of it's age, it has a really small preview screen and 64 bit programs don't recognize it anymore. It seems to use textures to achieve its look. Played around with offset and rotate but just can't seem to get it right. Can anyone help? The actual photoshop plugin is here; http://asnailpace.com/blog/impressionist-plug-in/  |

I found about this great plugin 3 years ago (by the same time I've discovered FF
 )
Using the bomber (and some techniques) it's not hard to come up with something similar. Probably, the great difference would be, as you mentioned, the use of external textures, that allows faster performance and a lot of variety. Getting results you want requires some trial and error, as the preview window is VERY tiny (that was some of the resaons I've abandoned this for a while) 
At time I got this, I rendered some presest for reference..it may help:  "From the moment we are born, we start being filtered..." |

Thanks! Not a big fan of bomber but I'll play around with it and see what I can come up with.

Those pictures are inspiring for a new filter. Definitely will build at least one when I have the time!!

Ozmandias, I haven't!
Just that my pacing for developing filters comes after working on "normal-everyday-life-things" which typically takes the entire day so I just have to suffer and find time making stuff these days. |

Super! I very much look forward to it!
Darn those "everyday-life-things"!... They sure get in the way sometimes! |
