Point and Shoot v1.2: A filter that takes your image quality down a decade.

Makes rusty fences. Sorta.

Playing with some basic stuff.

Made it so that it always gives me great results in a short amount of time Even with AO

Some of those vector things people do lately.... Here's a Ray Generator!

There are several more modes just for the fun of it, the main point is that it makes you nice looking stripy things quickly.

Several modes exist. You can easily manipulate these modes and get various results quickly.

Very nice images. You're creating some very interesting filters.

Sometime ago, I developed a bunch of generators in FilterForge to ease up my work for several scenes in an animated short called HAVOC. You can see the whole thing there: HAVOC part 1: What Your Dreams are Made of

The final scene took some time to create. Most of the textures were created in FilterForge and were mapped onto simple objects. While you can't really see any of the the good textures I used in the final sequence here's a list of what I used: Hit The Wall by Indigo Ray, Vintage Clay Tile by Mike Blackney, Wooden Roof by Constantin Malkov, Stone with Moss by cfree68, and 2 others (The sky background and windows) by me Thanks everybody for making great filters

Skybase, these are just awesome

And the processed image. I made it a bit super saturated.

Great stuff!!
Your examples look terrific!
Thank you very much!

I submitted the HDRize filter to the library. It's a pretty rough filter but its blazing fast and does give you some HDResque results. Although, I looked through my little library and found another HDR filter that sticks a bit "true-er" to the actual HDR generation process. Here's an image I processed with it.

Unlike HDRize (the filter presented in the posts above) this HDR filter actaully creates multiple exposures using the HDRblend mode introduced in version 2. It consequently has less control, but IS closer to what HDR would do in actuality.

I'll have to clean the work up a bit, try to optimize it for submission.

Well, here are more results after tinkering with the new, unreleased filter. The newest version includes additional adjustments to control tonal ranges (though it honestly works kinda randomly.) Either way here's the original shot.

Been developing some new and interesting filters. This new one's fairly in the same style range as some of them. Just wanted to make my own here. Although... I don't get how it took 19 minutes to render this image. This picture doesn't even have AO on it. I faked the AO. Too bad the details are kinda degraded thanks to jpeg compression but if you could imagine it is kinda full of details.

what is so computationally expensive about it?

I honestly have no idea. My guess is the high pass filters but IT IS slow for its end result. I'm going to tinker more with it.

And another variation...

oooh I was thinking about getting that game

try two blur levels for the fade, then blend the two blurs, it might look like a better transition. Looks really really good though

Original vs Filtered.

This one shows off the bomber-based light leak / glow effect which happens with cheap plastic lenses.

Fish eye lens + this filter = works like a charm.

By the way, for those of you interested, I posted MOST pictures from my series "KAITEN" (means "to turn" in Japanese) on Behance network.

You can see the work here: http://www.behance.net/gallery/KAITEN/2301474

Uses "Pop rings" filter by me
