Description
This is an experiment - for Savage_Dragon, who never stops experimenting...
I took a little time off work to play with some of my recent TG2 renders. Using filters is quite a radical departure for me - I prefer to set up all render parameters in the program I'm using (TG or Vue), usually with a single light source (the sun).
I promise I'll move on now...

wow! awesome experiment Craig x f!
Nice, very nice pics!
You've gotten some great effects here, Craig. Have you checked out Filter Forge? They offer a free month's trial. It's a really great program. You can even create your own filters and earn the program by submitting your new filter. I just won FF in a competition at graphics.com with my image, "Woven Portrait. Keep up the cool experiments!
Excellent use of filters!!!
Very interesting effects!!!!! Radically changes your renders!!!!!! I love the colors and how it changes the mood and atmosphere!!!!! Excellent work!!!!! The terrains are simply breath-taking!!!!!!
Wonderful effects. I especially like the top left and the bottom right in this series.
This is a wonderful experimental experiment, Craig... nice work.
Very cool tests.
Great ones!!! Excellent done!
Very cool and super dedication for Angel! I love the top left best!
Kind of like Warhol meets Ansel Adams...excellent experimentation Craig,love the combination.I too was once a purist when it came to using filters,but once I saw how they can take the image to the next level,I must confess that I like what they can achieve...keep playing Craig!
Ah, but linger just a moment longer & enjoy... I will. ")
This is such a cool experiment and so well done! The top two are my favorites.
fascinating experiment - looks great, i love the red one ;)
Interesting results. Cool filter play.
Very Nice !!
Excellent!!!
Very nice effects. Great work!
wonderful works!!! Great colors!
The ones on your left are my favs... the intense reds of the sunset are superb and draw the eye.. the one right below could well be a planet with a gaseous atmosphere. Love them all but those two are a 'thumbs' up for sure.
Cool quartet and very dynamic results you have achieved on each one.
Great work!!
Excellent terrain work and interesting atmospheres....
Hi Craig bottom left from me I see so many lines how they cross and might divide makes me think and that I like wonderful work my friend you have been in me thoughts sweet kiss on the cheek, Linda
I can see that all four are of the same scene, but the filtering makes them different enough that they appear to be slightly different places. The top-left has a dramatic dawn or sunset-ish feel, bathed in rich golden-browns. The top right has detail & hue that appear out of a vast desert-scape; the furrows & ridges are pronounced and are quite beautiful. The bottom left is something out of science fiction, or a strangely exposed shot. (In my photoshop paintings, I explore that very phenomenon, how filters reveal the line-contours of shapes—as they do here—and how those lines can be art all by themselves. This image is a fine piece of exposed contours: They really speak in this version.) And the bottom-right is bathed in deep restful blues, with plenty of deep shadow. They demonstrate one of the joys of filters, how they transform a single vision into different worlds. Very enjoyable all around, I never tire of this myself.
