FilterForge, Adobe Photoshop CS4 extended (for composing)
This is part of a (seamless!) fabric design which I created. The original image is 5400x8700 pixels large and repeats seamlessly to left and right.
I first used FilterForge to create all the elements (including the no less than 32 'cuddles' that are in the final image (which, as a FilterForge filter, are called 'mascots'), then Photoshop CS4 extended to combine all the elements, add shading etc. pp.
I think this purely digitally created image shows the usage possibilities of FilterForge really well.
