I think those are the State Flower since they are in bloom year-round..The State Stone is the stuff they pile in the potholes that last for about two hours at the most...

A very nice closeup of a petosky stone....

Would this be the place to request (beg) for a filter?

If so, I would LOVE to have a puff of smoke with varying degrees of puffiness and density.

So far I spent about 8 hours trying to create one. There is one in the Filter section but it lacks asked features. Anyone have any spare time?

More like Lenawee county. But I kind of think of A^2 as 'home' now, having spent so much time there, and having family there now. (I live in CA now, along w/ many other fierce Michiganders)

I think those were just stones and jellybean looking shapes...No petosky textures but those rocks that Uber did were cool..hint....

... how about a Spectrogram generator? As in those things that display frequencies of audio.

Filter Forge image-audio tools? Another weird thought I had.

Meanwhile I'm hitting the FilterForge Block. Can't imagine what kind of image effect to do next.... Who can suggest a simple one?

Have you seen these by RedCap..

Yeah, I seen that

Although here's what an actual spectrogram looks like. (Low resolution)

Some more entertaining things:

Stew with Potatoes, Carrots, Onions, and meat. FilterForge cookbook anybody?

Here you go:


Puffy clouds.ffxml

And another one:

This has an adjustable control for light angle. It's simple enought to allow you to go in and tweak it, as required. You might want to blur the final product in pshop, also.

ok, corvus, now turn it into popcorn. you're very close already

thank you for this Corvus, I think this will be most useful. I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought it looked like popcorn hehehe

That is awesome and exactly what I was looking for! PM me your paypal ID I'll send some cash your way. Thank you!

Hmm... that is a good idea. (I really wish FF had a bump <---> normal green nodes... they'd be usefull for all sorts of slop-based filters, such as weathering and such)

In an XYZ normal map, isn't the Z channel the bump? Oh wait, no, it's the normals... you'd have to calc it. somehow. Huh, that is an interesting problem...

Meanwhile, have you seen Crazybump? http://www.crazybump.com/
Works great. It will even reverse - construct a bump map from a shadowed map, (like a photo of a stature) and does a reasonably good job.

gws5597: I submitted a red-and-blue striped airmail envelope today; It's nice, but for some reason, a bit washed out , so if anyone knows how to brighten it..

http://www.filterforge.com/filters/7691.html

I figured out whats wrong without even looking inside.

You took the Red and white, and did a 50% Normal blend with the Blue and white. So that washed them out. Try having the colors on alpha channels and blending them 100% Normal.

The other thing, the offset is caused by I assume a noise distortion for realism. Just add a slider or checkbox for distortion.

Post-Observation
Well, I was right about the first part, but the second part is not from a noise distortion. He made his stripes by skewing squares made from the tile component, and the tile components he used have a chaos of 15.

I just started to play with filter forge. I saw so many great filters here. I wonder if it is everything possible? Is it possible to make e.g some mushrooms? Like the one here?
