Nice job 'Dilla. I'm neglecting my pet wiki page but you've done a great job with the Feature Wishlist. I have one suggestion and that's to stick all the feature requests that have been shot down into one section.

Or we color-code them according to how much 'FF team appreciation' each request got. smile:D

Wel'll be taking a closer look at the list sometime during the coming months, so if anyone have anything to add or update, please do.

(Edit: Dilla and everyone, excellent list -- saved me a lot of time!)

I've reworked the feature wishlist a little and added some more entries. There are quite a few new feature requests to add, so it'll take a while...

Hi Vladimir,

Firstly, I love this program! Great work!

I had a couple of requests:

1. A separator so we can (at least visually) group controls into sections
2. The ability to add post process to a result. i know this sounds ridiculous, but actually, when you have 'surface' selected, sometimes it would be so much easier to add a gamma or brightness/contrast to tweak the final result, rather than to have to go through each of the inputs pre. result......... maybe what I'm suggesting is in fact a pre-result component? smile:)

Finally, do you have any plans to add integrated support for any 3D packages, like Dark Trees does?
Peace, love & understanding

Might be nice if Filter Forge created a new layer with the resulting filter effect, rather than just replacing. Sure, you can duplicate layer first, but it might be nicer if FF did it?

Demo about to run out, but it's been a real pleasure. As soon as I can afford it, I'll be purchasing a copy!
Peace, love & understanding

The feature wishlist wiki article has been updated to reflect the changes that came with commercial release of v3.0.

Most notably, there is a section for Scripting feature requests now. smile;)

I've also mined the forums a little and added feature requests of the past year or so.

At the beginning you can see:

[4.0]Features that are confirmed for the next major release are color-coded in green.


I have seen all the list and there is NONE GREEN color coded features confirmed yet smile:D

Indeed. That's because no features have been confirmed for FF 4.0 yet. I expect to color-code features once we enter the FF4 beta. smile;) smile:D

Great work Dilla! You seem to have caught most of my requests smile:-D So where should we put bugs that have not been fixed for several versions? Perhaps its all about the wording: I wish they'd add the feature to the dev team strategy that fixing long standing bugs are higher prio than adding new features smile:-p

Perhaps a section called "Longstanding bugs and issues" for bugs and issues in the grayzone of being a bug or a feature request..

Features that have been 'implemented' by the FF community via LUA script solutions are now color-coded in sky blue. This pertains to component feature requests, obviously.

I might have missed some script filters, so script authors: please check if your solution has been overlooked!



This brings me to an another idea:

What about an 'Open scripting problems' wiki page that collects yet unsolved scripting challenges and tracks the community's progress in tackling them?

OK, thanks for the info, so must wait until FF 4 beta then smile:)

BUT I still think and suggest that it would be good to have SOME information of what FF team is already working on for FF 4.0 beta.

Today out of boredom I decided to play around with text in Photoshop and run them through filters. I was thinking "Hey, wouldn't it be cool if FF could do cool things with text?".

So I finished my image. 10 FF passes, 30 minutes of editing later:


Came here to see if this was a planned thing, and it is! Very glad to see it!

You can already use text inside FF 3.0 although NOT directly as you can see in some of this list of threads from the forum



And you can write a text outside of FF and bring it to FF like an image instead of a text



and ThreeDee found a cool way to be able to use text INSIDE filter forge (see the Threedee filter list)

Quote
Well it took some work, but I have successfully made a font with modifiable characters and, even better, custom text input capabilities!

As in:



And you can use Filter Forge effects inside text in FF 3.0

Use selections to fill the inside of Fonts with Filter Forge textures







see the links in the search for more info

I would really love and would be a really GREAT and very useful think to have directly support of fonts inside FF like Photoshop have, but for this to happen FF needs to have Vector support, and Vladimir that this would be included in FF 4.0, so let´s hope that this will be available in FF 4.0 and will not have to to do all this tricks and workarounds to be able to have text inside FF

I'm sad to see "Animation" in red on the FF4 feature list. I'm waiting for this before I upgrade again... hopefully FF5? smile:(

It doesn't have to be an actual plug-in for an animation program like AE ... just give it the ability (with a real GUI, not the command window or scripting) to set a bunch of settings on a filter as the "start setting" and then a bunch of settings as the "end settings", and specify a number of frames. Click render and, boom, you get a folder of images from the start settings to the end settings.

Kind of silly this wasn't in FF 2.0, so much for 4.0, no? Couldn't a coder do this in like 5 minutes with scripting or something? Just take that script and make a nice little "tools menu" window gui for it. Build it into the program for morons like me who are afraid to even open the command window.

Thanks,
Waiting patiently for FF 5.0, I guess smile:cry:

Have you tried out Sjeiti´s Batch Renderer?

It does what you want. smile:-)

Thanks Sharandra. That looks like it might be a little closer to what non-programmers like me can handle, but, still, it looks far from what's practical or easy to use as an everyday graphics tool. I don't know how to make a ffxml file, and wouldn't know what to do with a bat file. And even if I did, it just seems like so many steps just to try an animation. I think it would really open up FF to a whole new audience if they just included this feature. Maybe the FF devs should hire this Sjeiti guy to put it in their program. I bet it would take him about a minute. smile;)

Thanks for the tip, tho... much appreciated.

Feature Request!

Hi, I'm new to FF but it has certainly helped me pass so much time while I recover form chemo...

Playing around with many of these awesome filters you guys have made... I am wondering.. is there a way to SAVE a filter SETTING in my Favorites folder? I have mt fave filters there... but can't find a way to save a variant, meaning if I like something I have 'discovered' by playing in the Settings of a filter I have to churn out as many images using the variant before I either close the program or move onto something else. This would save heaps of time. i have attached an image created from Strip Rip by Scriptorium. ( Thank you!)

Thanks in advance! smile:D

To save a preset, in the presets tab click on the little triangle menu and select "Add Preset".

Hope this helped... not sure what version you are using... I'm still in version 3, still awaiting simple animation controls, which apparently aren't in the upcoming 6 either... smile:cry: smile:cry: smile:cry:

Hi Zenpunk

Thank You! that is what I was wanting. I am using V5.00.
I am finding all these filters keep me engaged so long! Maybe once I have worked out the theory behind many of the filters I will give back to the filter community and create my own. I agree with you on the animation controls as well as a few others too! smile:)

Wishlist Item:

Ability to create PROJECT FOLDERS in same place as Favorites Folder. Then when working on a project you can quickly collect main filters you want to use and when you have completed the project you will have a handy collection of all filters used that you can list for future adjustments, additions or similar projects.

I know I can drag a filter to the Project folder, but that means it is no longer in its original place.. Or am I missing something here? Need something that works same as for Favorites.A right Click and selection of folder in the pop up right click menu.

Thank You!!!

smile:D

Hi Lyrics Girl. You can already create folders within your Favorites. Just right-click Favorites (or My Favorites) and select New Folder...

Then, drag the filters you want into that new folder you created. It won't move the filters, it just creates a shortcut. I'm not sure you can do this just by "right click and selection of folder", but dragging works.

Aha!!!!

Many Thanks!!!! That worked.

Being able to do this I can set up a folder for each main project with individual image creation folders e.g. Model Village #1 / Pub 1, House #1, #2, #3 etc.
And drag a link to the main materials I want to use for each image I create. I can do this before I start so I dont waste time during the creation process except for the odd filter or two I missed.


This si a totally new creative thing for me -= many years phoito and video editing & compositing now into image design and printable images... to go with a story I am writing...

All you Creative Filter Geniuses - Thank You all so much!! Greatly appreciated. Filters are a bit over my head, so I will use them and show you later my creations! smile:ff:

1. Saving and drag&drop groups,
bypassing a node command like "M" in Blender and auto connecting nodes. (just borrow the whole node system from Blender, it's perfect there and open source)

2. Substance Designer styled "slope blur", a way to imitate depth erosion.

3. a number to pre-made artist friendly adjustable masks and effects. Cracks generator, rust generator, scratch generator , color drips/smears generator, streams generator, erosion generator, crumble paint generator, etc.
In a word a number of artist friendly groups already set and working still allowing to go deep down and redo them from scratch. I would pay for them separately. Hate to waste my time searching through a mess of mostly useless custom filters.

4. Depth aware/ deep pixel vector styled composer with usual select and move/ scale .rotate tools. Scatter/repeat along a spline etc. Kind of Bomber thing that you could rearrange manually. Allegorithmic had something like that in their Substance designer predecessor but then they killed it.
