The Sept. 11 commission reported yesterday that it has found no "collaborative relationship" between Iraq and al Qaeda, challenging one of the Bush administration's main justifications for the war in Iraq.
Along with the contention that Saddam Hussein was stockpiling weapons of mass destruction, President Bush, Vice President Cheney and other top administration officials ...
Hiring Filter creators
Author: davis4459. I cannot find a reference to a list of filter creator contractors. I would like to hire a filter designer for a very specific drawing style. It's will be an interesting challenge because it might be close to impossible to achieve.
GF Underwater Maker by Ghislaine
Author: Ghislaine. Sharks ! Big challenge for me ! :?: As said, "It'd probably be the slowest filter EVER" and it will take few days just for trying curves and gradients, etc...
I have started a fish yesterday. Just done few things on. But a shark, we never know ! :)
Sunsets
Author: Redcap. :D ;) In refenrence to your challenge, the original sunset is a photo, no FF; How do I know you ask. 1, it isn't a square and most images posted by forum members from FF are squares. 2, it has wheat at the bottom of it, to realistic looking wheat.
Suggest a new filter.
Author: ThreeDee. Oh god, you guys are hilarious.
I did, by the way, seriously consider taking up the challenge of making an "age regressor/progressor" filter. Then I started to consider how exciting an age-regressed or an age-progressed lifesaver would look...
Filter Competition :)

I'm sure FF would come up with something challenging that you couldn't resist .....and is that free copies of FF on disc with everyone at FF autographing it???"
Well, if it were a command-line batch render utility that supported keyframing... ;)
Challenge 1: Circular Gradient

Yeah great! That was my original intent of this challenge - to use the gradient as a base for circular distortions."

Photo collage online?
Author: eden katrine. looking to make a photo collage online (http://www.amoyshare.com/photo-collage-maker-for-win/) (through a website or software) with more than 30 pics. i'm not a photoshop user, and this is turning out to be more challenging than i expected :) thx!
Quadrilateral Challenge
Author: uberzev. AKA 4 sided polygon where you can choose the location of each of the points.
I've come up with a pretty nifty solution but it breaks when you try to move things around too much.

Slider for multi blend
Author: Betis. hehe :D
I had some inspiration from some gradual blur filter experiments from a long time ago. I must say it's not terribly efficient in space or processing power as I'm sure ThreeDee can do it in 7 nodes or less (hint: challenge :!: )
Please, any expert that want to optimize this filter for higher speed?
Author: SpaceRay. Thanks Skybase and Carl for acepting the challenge :)
Very well done bringing the filter to HALF the time !! and only looses a bit of detail in the softer smokes, so not a drastic change as you said. Good.
Let´s see what Skybase can do
Im entitled to change my mind :)
Author: StevieJ. Volde, I have to give you credit for this one.....playing around with yours gave me an idea to come up with this. It's totally different constrruction, but the concept came from you.....so keep putting up these challenges :)

What's next on the list for your next filter conquest??? "
I've got a few Atmospheres filters in the works - Lightning has turned out to be a real challenge, at the moment it's got the better of me, where are you going after glasss?
............. Carl :)
But why
Author: Carl. The basic premise for smoke is rudamentry but getting a billowing effect with correct looking tonal change is more of a challenge for me, it's probly one those things of once you find the solution it's bleeding obvious and why did'nt I think of that in the first place :D ...........

Underwater-caustics from normalmap?
Author: Rachel Duim. Good stuff. I am going back to school, so to speak. Gotta get my trigonometry skills back up to speed. Haven't used trig or calculus much since college. Caustics are a future challenge, again, thanks for the snippet.
Brilliant by Sjeiti
Author: Sjeiti. Thanks... :-)
I needed the correct brilliant form so all I did was trace this: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3a/Diamond_facets.svg
It was quite a challenge to create those facets without having to rotate anything.
... and yours is very cool as well :)
Spherical Tilt

I like these "is this even possible in FF?" challenges. "
I've noticed that.....and PLEASE don't stop!!! :devil:
"Crapadilla wrote:
You'd defininitely be THE person to do it"
+2 Definitely.....
I'm glued to my computer 24/7 just to see what's next..... ;) :D
Dilla Challenge!!! :)
Author: Carl. I thought this is a pretty cool filter - I presume it not possible with FF but with Sphinx and Dilla reading this thread I thought this is a real challenge - what components would you need to do this sort of stuff

A round of drinks
Author: Rawn (RawArt). LOL...yeah...the Urban Walls was more of a gimmick thing, actually more of something I thought up to challenge myself. Heck, I never even used that one for anything LOL.
But if people like it and are using it...more power to them :)

Sort of OT: Image I made in photoshop a while back
Author: voldemort. Now thats a challenge and a 1/2 Ill take a stab at it might take a while but that one is definatly a cool effect I think some perspective mapping is the key and getting the contrast right for the height map to map it to
Ill get towork on it later tonight :)
