Popular Post Red ochre Posted September 5, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted September 5, 2013 Furblur update 30th July 2014 A versatile blur/trail effect. Useful for Fur, false beards and grass textures and also for paper textures, watercolour effects and 'scribbled' drawing effects. Found under: Effects/Blurs/FurBlur Dll name = FurBlur. An updated version is in my V10 Plugin pack here Red ochre v10 plugin pack I would like thank 'Null54' who made this plugin possible. I spent days trying to get it to work and he solved the problem in hours! - greatly indebted. I would also like to thank EER, without whose diplomatic skills I would have left the forum months ago. Finally I must thank the many people who tested this for me over on developers central - the difficulty with random effects is that the bugs can be quite random too, it appears. So many people testing has been very useful. I am updating Furblur. It still works in much the same way on default settings, but I have added some more 'fun' stuff. Changes: 1. I wanted to make some feathers and needed more control over the curl direction, so have added this. 2. Started running out of U.I. space, so put these new curl choices in a drop-down list with the direction choices. 3. Took the liberty of removing some of the titles to the drop-down boxes - again to save space. 4. Have removed the colouring choice - now it only colours along the fur. (The fur can easily be recoloured later if the 'only keep fur' box is checked). 5. Have improved the antialiasing. 6. Have slightly increased the speed. 7. The fun bit - have included 12 new curl shapes. 8. Changed the icon pussycat colour to ginger - so you can easily tell which version you have! History Hidden Content: v1 = 459 downloads As before, best to experiment as described below - the UI has changed but all the previous examples are still possible. Here is the new U.I. and example curl shapes: How to use: Be very wary of using the plugin on large selections with large 'reps' or 'length' as it will be very slow! I suggest you try the plugin out in the following way, just to get an idea of how it works. 1. New image 800 * 600 - make background black. 2. New layer (transparent) 3. Draw 10 pix wiggly lines. nice bright colours 4. Possibly select around these lines with the lasso tool (leave plenty of room for the effect!) 5. Effects/Blurs/Furblur - lower the 'rep' slider and increase the 'length' slider to start. 6. Try each slider seperately to see what they do. Hopefully the following images will give you some ideas. Please feel free to post your FurBlur images in this thread and any tips you have discovered. Enjoy! 1 11 Quote Red ochre Plugin pack..............

DrewDale Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Top work from Yellowman, doughty & Welshblue - very creative stuff I will drop the two I posted in the developer thread here. Fircraft - Hairy target - A top class plugin with so much fun to be had. Cheers Red. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oceana Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 (edited) Intersting results here. "Fircraft" great. Obama meets Phil Lynott really creative Welshblue cute little worm doughty, and I think EER needs a comb yellowman, nice work. Here is one I made using a combination of furblur and zoom blur and by duplicating the colour layer then changing the colours on it.

nitenurse79 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Good uses from everyone, (Oceana - that is really creative, well done) I can see there will be tough competition for plugin of the year this time around. So addictive and great fun to use. Kudos for the making Red & Null. Have this on me for your work 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitenurse79 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 If you mean running furblur on what has just been rendered with curly lines, then yes it works ok for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbieq25 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Works fine for me too but I lost my cursor & had to do a reboot. Mind you my pc's video has had some issues for a while too. NN, that is funny! Love it. Great outcome from Oceana. 1 Quote Knowledge is no burden to carry. April Jones, 2012 Gallery My DA Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitenurse79 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Thanks barbieq - I'm not sure how many people would get that meaning on the glass @Welshblue - I'm sure your turning blonde and not bald Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbieq25 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 (edited) Actually, it was NOT a stupid question because I liked the outcome from it & I will be having a play with that again. So thanks Welshy NN, you could be right there but I sure do. Not that I ever need it Edited September 5, 2013 by barbieq25 Didn't see NN's post before I posted. 1 Quote Knowledge is no burden to carry.

DrewDale Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Top outcomes from Oceana & nitenurse. I always need a hair of the dog. Thanks for the idea too Welshblue, I never thought of using it with curly lines, will play around with that for sure.I had to try it out - a voice in my head was saying "no way" but pdn was saying "go for it" And it works too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red ochre Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 Aaaah - too many people to thank - you're posting fasting than I can type!TR - Thanks for the support on this one and brilliant images too!BB - Thanks - it started life in codelab!EER - Thanks for all the VS tips and encouragement too.doughty - glad you reposted the prevoius 2 and the furryworm is great!BBQ - hope you are getting decent results now.WB - love the Obama one!Drew' - Thanks for reposting Fircraft and hairy target and adding the clipwarped one too.Oceana - That's given me vertigo!NN - Cheers - you know me too well!Should be ok to use on layer after 'Curly Line' - If using Furblur repeatedly on the same object layer you may need to lower the 'Start object transparency' slider a little. That's because it is a blur and mixes the opaque object with the transparent surrounding pixels.To all - many thanks all who tested and have reposted or added new examples. Glad you seem to be having fun with it and many thanks to Null54 for getting it to work! 2 Quote Red ochre Plugin pack..............

dug Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Looks like you have created another cracker of a plug-in Red. You have everyone going crazy with it and creating amazing results. No one has to be bald or have rough floorboards anymore. Excellent! Cheers for the share. Off to play. 1 Quote MY GALLERYD.A.TheRawAtom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixey Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Thanks to @WB I just discovered this new plug-in of yours. How clever are you? Just now PDN will crash with all of these amazing P-I'ings that you create. I was so tempted to use it on an animal, but resisted . 1 1 Quote How I made Jennifer & Halle in Paint.net My Gallery | My Deviant Art "Rescuing one animal may not change the world, but for that animal their world is changed forever!" anon.

Red ochre Posted September 7, 2013 Author Share Posted September 7, 2013 Daniels - please do - I find simply 'playing' with plugins the best way to learn and discover new techniques.EER - I should nominate that to the Galeria (but there could be copyright issues) - it does make me chuckle!YM - stunning! - great use of the plugin and the image itself is a pleasure - great colours & textures!Dug - looking forward to seeing what surreal uses you find for it.Pixey - That looks great! - original use of Furblur for the icicles. 'Clever' - I wish! (Null54 is the clever one for getting it working).Helen - you can hug me anytime! - looking forward to seeing your results - perhaps some candyfloss trees for your candy house?Good to see what you're all creating. 1 Quote Red ochre Plugin pack..............
