I am SO glad you're back!

[Rokket]

Eyes crossed, but it makes it hard to work that way....

 

[Rokket]

Shoot! This is harder than I thought. Trying to imitate wool is hard. I may have to upload the pants and shirt and add the boots later on. I am started a thread at RDNA looking for some assistance. Now I have my fingers, toes, eyes and all my T's crossed....

 

[Lorraine]

Careful! The wind might change

But that's a nuisance for you. Um, use a wool texture and bump it hard?

 

[Rokket]

I tried that. It doesn't look real. BB hangs out there and the node cult forum is his castle. I am sure he can get it done. I will still upload the pants and shirt a bit later today.

 

[Lorraine]

Course you can. There's no hurry

 

[Terre]

I wonder if you could get a good texture for that out of Filter Forge.

 

[Miss B]

I was just going to suggest FF myself Terre. I'm working on a texture set for an outfit, and the texture is "knitted", and I was able to make a bump map as well.

 

[Rokket]

I don't have filter forge. Don't even know what it is....

Filter Forge - Photoshop Plugin to Create Your Own Filters

It's a plugin for Photoshop for making your own filters. 80% discount for another day.

 

[Rokket]

Ahh. Well, I don't have Photoshop. Will it work in GIMP?

 

[Lorraine]

Hmm, don't know. I think there's a stand alone. I don't have it myself but I read a lot of posts from peeps who do. And somehow it enables you to create seamless tiles as well as filters. Miss B may be able to extrapolate.

 

[Rokket]

It's ok. I will figure out a way to do it. I am working on packaging up the rest of it now. I decided to wait until I have to boots done so it will be an all-in-one package.

 

[Lorraine]

Cool. We can wait.

 

[Miss B]

Filter Forge does have a standalone version, but I can't say I've used it, other than to check for new filters on their site. I mostly use the filter version within Photshop.

I can tell you Rokket, that it's an .8bf type filter, so it may very well work in Gimp, though I didn't have it back when I had Gimp on my old laptop, so don't know for sure.

It happens to be on sale for one more day, so you may want to check it out -->
Filter Forge - Photoshop Plugin to Create Your Own Filters

I'm currently considering upgrading to version 5.0 Pro. I've been using it off and on since version 1. Just not sure I use it often enough to keep upgrading it, and certainly don't use it often enough to buy a Lifetime license so it wouldn't cost me to upgrade every year.

 

[Rokket]

I looked at that page. I don't think I would use it enough to pay for it. But thanks for the link.

 

[Miss B]

Oh OK. There is a fully functional 30-trial you can always download and see. Then if you like it, the next time they have a sale, you can buy it.

 

[Rokket]

I am still pondering that one. I might do it. Since I seem to have gotten myself into becoming a vendor on here, I might as well see if I can use it. I figure I would be using it a lot if I am creating textures for my stuff, and there are always legal issues to contend with utilizing stuff from the internet.

 

[Miss B]

Just remember, there's well over 11,000 filters you can download, use and/or modify for your needs.

 

[Rokket]

You talked me into it. I am downloading it as we speak!

 

[Lorraine]

Nice!
