ok,
I bought the $99 version of FF.

So I cannot sell commercial copies of any textures I "create" in FF by altering the sliders of an exsisting pre made filter? And if thats so..what about versions of earlier textures I created doing just that?

I do not sell on websites but inside Seconf Life and to be honest 50% of the time I will use say the superb moody lighting effects on a my own textures like the sample I have attached.
Or I will run one of the metal filters over a bump map of a stone tile..

Obviously copyright is something I am aware of with my own work but never encountered one like this before.

Rightly or wrongly ( morally speaking ) I purchased this plugin because at the time I had legal rights to use the filters and create my own textures much like Texture Maker or Genetica I guess.

So to have the EUAL changed "after" purchase is a little annoying.

Please dont flame me I totally understand your issues here but at the time your filters were uploaded for use by the FF customers the EUAL " did" allow others to tweak and sell textures created by tweaking filters. Infact I believe they advertised it that way in the wording.

Or have I got that wrong?

I guess not or else they wouldnt be changing the license as they have.

I have said all along the "creaters" of FF should be the people creating filters if they want to sell this to a broad market of users.

People like is "because" its easy to use and "because" they dont have to learn the complex issues of making filters..thats why they buy the $99 version.

I am sure I will be thrown to the wolves but please remember I am here asking because I DO care and dont want to breach anyones rights...or new rights.. ( ? )

i suggest you study the eula again. your statement/question here is wrong.

The new EULA will probably be implemented with V2.....with which V1 filters will not be compatible.....and thus only affect V2 filters......

I especially want to thank Foxxee and Stevie for their moody lights and extreme metalic filters.

Yeah, I wish FF would "get a clue" before it's too late.....get into selling royalty-based texture packs like that from authors here.....justify/take advantage of the new EULA.....and develop an incentive program from it that would "raise the bar" on texture submissions here.....

smile:devil:
