The new Custom Filters Folder enables you to create multiple storage folders (and nested subfolders) for your custom filters, instead of being limited to My Filters only.Īdd Storage Folder: Each storage folder corresponds to a real folder on one of your drives, and you can specify its location. Custom Filters FolderĬustom filter storage folders are a replacement to the old My Filters category, which housed the user-made filters in previous Filter Forge versions. The Filter's shortcut will no longer be available under the folder it was deleted from, but if you check its original folder, you'll still find it there. You'll get a message telling you that this will only remove the filter from the Favorites folder or subfolder, but it will still be available in its original category folder. To remove any filter from the Favorites folder or any Favorites subfolder, simply right click it and choose Delete. This option will open the filter's original category folder. This option will open the folder that contains the filter's file on your computer. Press Command/Ctrl- Shift and click filters to add them to a selection. You can add more than one filter to the same folder at once, by multi-selecting those filters then dragging and dropping them into the folder. This will add the filter to the folder as a shortcut, so the original filter file will still be in the original category folder. To add a filter to the Favorites folder - or any subfolder under the Favorites folder, click and drag the filter then drop it inside the folder you want to add it under. This, however, will not delete the filters from their original category folders. You can also delete any subfolder you have, along with the group of filters you put in it. Renaming SubfoldersĪny subfolder you create can be renamed. Just make sure to right-click the folder you want to place the subfolder under, and choose New Folder. You can create as many Favorites subfolders as you like. New Folder: This will create a new subfolder that you can type in a name for.This is the folder you can use to organize your Filter collections. Delete: This will delete the category folder, and all the downloaded filters it contains.So you can download any filter from there, and it will be added to the category folder automatically. Download More Filters: This will open the online Filter Library page and includes all the filters available under the category folder you clicked.The structure of the Filter Library categories remains fixed, so you can't create subfolders under or rename Library Filters. So Folders (with subfolders of arbitrary nesting depth) are now supported for user-made filters and favorites.īy right-clicking any folder, you get the set of options available for that folder. The new built-in filter manager, however, replaces the list view with a hierarchical tree view, that is similar to what you see in file managers such as Windows Explorer or Mac OS X Finder. In previous versions of Filter Forge, Filters were displayed in a list of categories, and there was no way to arrange or organize those Filters. Our aim with sponsored content is to publish relevant and objective tutorials, case studies, and inspirational interviews that offer genuine educational value to our readers and enable us to fund the creation of more useful content. The new input types give filter authors more expressive power by allowing parameter mapping, the foundational principle of Filter Forge, to be applied to component parameters defined by lists and sliders.This content was commissioned by Filter Forge and was written and/or edited by the Tuts+ team. For filter creators, Filter Forge 7.0 introduces mappable list and slider inputs that were added to 47 existing components.They preserve the image precision and HDR colors and thus allow for filter stacking: users can now copy the rendered image and paste it back into Filter Forge to apply another filter. The new Copy and Paste commands enable interoperability with any graphic editor regardless of its plug-in support.Most filters can benefit from the new sample cache architecture, and in quite a few lucky cases the improvement is in double digits.
The rewritten rendering engine can speed up lots of filters.It will save much time and effort for all 3D artists using Filter Forge. The key feature of Filter Forge 7.0 is simultaneous render and export of render channels that generate special texture maps used in 3D packages and game engines.
