Sharing your goodies!

Hi guys, I had a thought a while back and figured I'd make a quick topic to ask and see what I could do. From what I understand some of the authors have not been releasing their filters, and I totally understand why:

-Releasing a filter on filterforge does run the risk that the images generated become very popular and generic because of this.
-People might be using FF for texture productions in their game and want to keep the look unique so they can't share the filters because then everyone and their brother will have those textures in game.
-Perhaps they even use FF to generate textures and are trying to make a profit by selling rendered textures.

This is all fine and totally acceptable and I have no problem with people doing this, but I was just wondering if anyone might be willing to share their filters on a smaller scale. I'm making a **top secret unreleased** video game mod and plan on making extensive use of the awesome filter forge stuff already out there, but I just wanted to see if I might be able to strike a deal with anyone that might be keeping some goodies to themselves. I don't really know what I could offer, I'd gladly give credit to anyone and would be open to discuss other ideas too. We don't have much of a budget really (none really, even our server is donated) because our game will be a free mod when released, but I might be willing to throw a few bucks out there for kicks.

Anyhow, I wasn't sure if I'd get any responses but I figured I may as well try! I'd love to let you guys in on some more juicy details of the game but we're keeping it under tight wraps for now, maybe later I'll be able to share some cool concept art or something.

Speaking of which I'm totally gonna start hit you guys up with some texture challenges! I'll have to think of making it fun do a contest or something. I dunno, any ideas?

Heh, well I can say it's not a MMORPG, so sorry to disappoint! It's gonna be a sweet FPS game with a unique twist to it. And plenty of battle worlds, weapons, parts and levels, just no RPG'ness. Here's a few concept pics:





So yeah, LOTS of concrete, smoke and metal. Some cool Sci-Fi stuff, but an overall grungy feel.

Stevie! You've gotta share some pics! Not the filters just some sweet previews! I'd love to see what you've got up your sleeve.

Yeah, those concept pics are looking cool!!!

Well, I have alot of "less-serious" experimentaion sample pics in the user gallery.....just go to the strings that I started and start scrolling.....and you will find that I haven't submitted any of the texture filters that go with any of the sample pics that I've ever posted. That stuff is just the "tip of the iceburg" to what I've created with this program.....

I'm going to be submitting a series of about 20 filters pretty soon.....all of which I think you will like for this project......stay tuned.....

Cool it looks like your creating a dangerous little world

6 hour is to long, you'd think with all the whizz bang technology they should be almost instantaneous

excellent - I'm getting the impression the game going to be Halflife meets Halo type of thing or maybe thats wishful thinking

Haha, I definitely see the resemblance! Usually the first comment I get from people is: "why is his head coming out of a toilet?".

We're shooting for something a bit out of the box so we're sure to get some funny resemblances.

FF is amazing- I've basically given up trying to manually make seamless pictures, it's usually easier to take a good FF filter and modify if needed, and the results are usually better anyhow! I've been opening up the filter editor a lot lately and I've been learning a bit more about how FF works. I think I might try getting into making a few textures of my own. We'll see.
