I really should illustrate more. Apart from good practice it’s also fun to do.

Filter Forge released
Filter Forge is released. Big up to the entire Filter Forge team for a job well done. Let’s hope it takes of like a rocket (the kind that doesn’t blow up).
Even though I earned a copy I still want a second license for my machine at work, besides $299,- is a bargain.
terraforming
Putting things together: some Filter Forge stuff into PaperVision3D. I’ve made a nice terraforming filter and wrapped the result around a sphere. Click here to see the planet and use your mousewheel to zoom in and out.
I’m now trying to give the sun some lens flares but I’m still having a bit of trouble getting the 2D data from the 3D. Right now the flare is just a sprite on top of the 3D scene, the correct way of course would be to create a particle primitive. A particle is a bit different than a normal primitive. Let’s see if I can hack my way in there and cook one up.
