OK, this is not FF, so feel free to ignore (at your own arsenal's risk though!)...

ArtRage Homepage

Normally, I try not to do marketing crap (except on my own filters, of course! smile;)), but this goldie is just too good to be true IMHO, and at 25 USD it's a total bargain even for hobbyists.

Just bought the new version online (the new features finally had me convinced), and was up and running a few minutes later. After dabbling in it I can say it's almost as addictive as FF. Awesome natural-media painting tool for my evening doodles... smile;) smile:D

Yeah, for $25 it's certainly tempting. The umm, features or about or whatever, doesn't really give a ton of info though. Is it stand-alone, or can it be used as a plug-in inside Fotoshoppe and the like ? Does it run filters inside of it, or is it just is a one trick stand-alone pony ? At 25$, even if it was just it's own thing and didn't work with any otherr pogram or filter it would probably appeal to a lot of people, just not me in this case. smile:D

It's standalone, no filters, but it exports PSD files for Ye Olde Photoshoppe. smile:D

They have a stripped down 'starter edition' available for download for anyone who wants to give the tool a test run.

And here's a rather nice review of ArtRage...

Ambient Design was established by several former staff members of MetaCreations - famous for Painter (now owned by Corel) and an assortment of plug-ins, filters, and applications under the well known “Kai’s” moniker, such as Kai’s Power Tools (also now owned by Corel).

I just ordered my upgrade to v3 Studio Pro. One nice thing: It's supposed to support pohsotop filters, so there may be a chance that it also works with FF.

Did anyone test Artrage 3 with FF yet?

wow. i didnt see this thread before. i have artrage 2 starter edition. very clever program, but i havent bought the full version so dont know about the filters or FF with it. and if you like artrage you might also take a look at ArtWork by Akvis. it's more procedural than artrage, but quite good at simulating paintings. and no, it wont work with filters or FF and is also only stand-alone.

At least on my Mac, it doesn't work properly (with V3 Studio pro).
The ArtRage image is properly sent to filterforge, but when applying the filter, the colors are all wrong.

I just tested it on my Vista 64-bit machine at the studio. FF2 installed itself into the programsx86 folder and runs properly as standalone. As a plug-in for ArtRage 3 Studio Pro it comes up fine in the interface but fails to deliver a result that matches what I see in the FF2 preview pane. Something is just not speaking the same language. I would *love* to see FF working in AR3 Studio Pro.

looks like the use of an online foreign language translator.

That app is nice, for the FF plugin i get the same thing as Fashmir but the problem could be with the code they use as some other plugins don't work or make errors.
