*filter wish* cemetery fence

Hi all,

I was surprised that no-one has made a fence for a cemetery/graveyard yet. Yes I know I should learn to make filters but I thought I'd just throw this out there anyway.

heres reference anyways: http://cgtextures.com/texview.php?id=33101

I guess it would have a downward arc in the top horizontal bar, like a shallow "U"

Anyways yes I know I should learn the ropes myself

Hey: I made an ironwork fence thing, you might check out: here's the forum post LINK Not quite the same thing, but shows a similar concept.



Here is the ffxml:LINK

You could do the fleur de lis. You could use a truncated spiral. It would be much better with bombers, though (means wait for FF2.0)

oo all eyes here.. iphone game? what kind!?

(running to go tell people) wait a minute thats to far to run..Nevermind...hehe...
Well it looks like you found something already but think I might get sidetracked with this one....Started working on the arch part(had to get that bevel down at least)...Still not quite there yet on that...

Thanks Targos...I had something else in mind for it...I was also going to do those straights bars and fencing with it..But here is the fence topper if its handy....
Just create a new image with the background color at 0 alpha.....

Heya I went for tottes "rusty bars", and the custom shape tool in photoshop in the end.

Cool, nice someone is using them.

I've looked at making the shapes in FF, but that is pretty hard, the "french lily" isn't a very FF-ish shape, specially when you want it small, would work in FF2 maybe, whre you could make it then is a particle to place it with, gonna try that I think.

Heres another update to this one Targos...Last one I'll post here...I'll submit this eventually with a fence...

I'm moving the thread to the 'Creating Filters' forum.

Gotta love learning new stuff..
The shrinking came from the early days and the first text ever created in FF...
http://www.filterforge.com/forum/read...=5&TID=414
Then some of the snippets that Quasimondo had submitted....
I used this method in my playing cards filter and it stuck with me ever since then...
I always like to share when I can..

Thanks Craig...

Wow thats Awesome mate. I bet it earns you HU's and EP's!

The only issue I found with the prototypes was if you changed the scale, anomolies would occur.

Now just to move the goalposts, imagine cobwebs in the spaces

No really thats a photoshop add-on. But this is looking great. Thanks for your efforts!

Thats why I posted "Almost"
Got as far as what I posted..Still need to do all the grit and grime..Theres not even any place for controls on anything yet...

Thanks Targos...hmm cobwebs Guess I will focus on this version first..

It will be the same for this version as far as the anomalies unless I change the design of the fleur-de lise part of the fence...To design that I used Any Angle Rotate
for the curve and the rotation...When the size slider is used in conjunction with this filter you get the result of the angle and rotation being changed. This is the same with most of the rotation types of filters...Since part of the design is used with this that part of the design messes up....So I might try to think of a different method or I might leave it for now....

Good luck with the hunt...
Ok last image post seriously..
All done with the filter aside from a couple of more presets then the info...

lol had to shorten my tag when I added the second zazzle page link, that one has designs created using a mixture of things from my business website, plus some filter usage etc.

But back to the original topic and the fence!!

Is looking way good CF! And found them fences I made they are way different than that but then again thats me lol. They be on my old pc.
