I had to add 20 offset, 6 multiblend, 6 threshold, 8 blend, and 2 switches (for v/h priority in clipping). Thats ... ... ideas or suggestions? I would really like to have this in, but a hit like that simply won't work. Also, is tiles a fairly slow component?

Great ideas!!!
I still think that adding the eyes and mouth to the head and ear shaped variations would be very cool. I'm surprised that the curve work slowed the rendering down that much. My first guess would be where you put the curve work reletive to refraction. I think you could actually do this without refraction and use profile grads instead.....thereby doing away with the speed issues.....
How to extract the darkest and lightest value

An exact solution in a procedural processing context like Filter Forge requires *all* samples to be rendered and inspected. That is very expensive and actually quite difficult with subsampling taken into account too. But we can ...

This way, users could quickly diagnose their filters for rendering bottle-necks visually by looking for component combinations that force excessive evaluation of upstream nodes (like ... ..., which would be 5x3x3 = 45 samples?).
Additionally, the components could be overlaid with shades of green (fast) to red (slow) according to how many times they are sampled. Worley-noises with custom profile curves would also be interesting in this ...
Paint HDRtist: How long to render?

It may be your computer specs (low amount of quite slow RAM and I'm guessing there is no dedicated graphics card in it)... as they barely meet the minimum requirements. Probably ... ... a desktop with C2D 2.9GHz, 8GB RAM, Radeon 4350 GPU and 64bit Vista. Came back to computer after 20 minutes and it was done rendering.
I'll test it on my slower computer later today.
Plasma Ball HDR by ronviers
... ronviers. Craig, I'm going to submit that old wood filter from way back. I was playing around with ff's ambient occlusion and it made much better - I want to have something in the v2 category even if it's not that great. I'm submitting it now but since we render our own presets, fifteen, it will be a while before it posts - maybe tomorrow.
In case you forgot which one I'm talking about - here it is.
Super slow after adding the ao but I know that many of ff's users have powerhouse workstations and do not have a problem with them.
M_Shadows and Highlights Advanced by Morgantao
Author: Ghislaine. Just my little opinion : I prefer two faster filters then one slow. When you combine two filters, this means that you get double components or controls that is no good for the speed. So when ... ... manually and get faster filters for me and for the users. If I have the choice between a 10 minutes and a 2 seconds for the rendering, I will go for the filter that offers those 2 seconds.
Ambient Occlusion by Mike Blackney
... working AO implementation stashed :)
It could use some support for bent normals for even more realistic lighting, along with proper handling of seamless (ray wraping) and non-seamless (range limitation) cases.
But most importantly, it needs a new rendering UI logic, since it's slow as hell for the first block due to the amount of precalculations needed, but then it gets faster and faster -- might be some sort of a cached data which has some kind of "precalc" progress bar, with intermittent storage much alike the relighting ...

You can usually tell when it's about to happen.....mouse cursor starts to hang up and rendering starts to get slow. Sometimes when you start to run into it, closing and restarting FF will remedy it.....
Event Handle
Author: StevieJ. Your mouse/cursor will start to get choppy and/or rendering will start to slow usually right before this happens. I would suggest, if you see these signs, save your work and close FF immediately. FF usually comes back OK, but if it doesn't, clean all the junk files off of your computer the restart FF. If you go too long ...

Video? You should switch the engine from CPU to GPU.
... extremely powerful, fast and GPU-based.
I think it is a good strategy for the FF team to enter this field, but the CPU based engine needs to be changed to GPU computation !
Even on a powerful gamer laptop with the latest i9 and lots of memory, filter rendering for a single image can be extremely slow.
I can't imagine how painful it is to add some effects at 60fps in full HD or more.

Author: StevieJ. Thanks.....glad you guys like them.... :)
I have a programming buddy who is helping me set these up.....and trying to teach me the scripting at the same time. I don'r fully understand it all myself yet....but I'm gaining on it slow but sure.....
Rendering these 2D images is taking anywhere from half hour to an hour on a dual core, 3GHz, 4 gig RAM machine....and I can imagine that it is going to be excruciating longer once I break into 3D with them....
I will share with you guys once the scripts ...

Author: IONclad. nope... running an athlonX2
It's slow, but I'm used to using Maxwell and Lightwave so the whole render thing isn't a big deal. I just wish FF had a dedicated 'prerender' or draft mode.
For filters like this, or the one I'm working on now (magrathea) I just load a 200x200 pix image and everything speeds up exponentially.
I got the idea for ...

Beta 10 - About caching

Mainly that lowering the caching resolution shows little to no performance boost in some cases, or even slows things down.

FF helper applications, creating/editing FFXML externally

I could probably handle the Flash end of things for creating the input/conversion tool and could store Bezier curve information in a similar manner to text by using the Bezier Control component.
But then we come to the real issue: FF doesn't render these type of vectors, so we would need a fast-drawing Script-based solution to that. I can script a slow bezier drawing component, but that is not going to cut it. :|
