[aardbewoner]

@Terrygillooly
here's what you need to make photoshop filters

You can find freeware Photoshop Plugs here.. use the licence dropdown to sort by freeware

Note: not all Photoshop Plugz work in Artrage... you pretty much have to test them to see. You may actually have better luck with the older ones

Thanks for the link, Juz! Although... programming filters... I'm not sure I want to fall down that rabbit hole

It's a deep rabbit hole.
The Ambient Design team wrote many of the KPT 5, 6 and KPT effects suites of filters for MetaCreations and later Corel.
Also we wrote the Texture Anarchy suite of Photoshop filters for Digital Anarchy.

Andy you're making me miss the good ol' days

That kind of advanced math wizardry makes my head explode. (Personally, I feel all clever* when I realize one can't call a layer that doesn't exist.)

I must say, I really appreciate that Ambient turned its attention from writing plug-ins to developing a naturalistic painting program.

*for actual emotion felt, substitute antonym

Waaaaiiiit a moment...

It says here in my notes that I *have* put an import path command into the ArtRage scripting language already.
Try something like this:

EvType: Command CommandID: ImportLayer Idx: 0 Path: "C:\\Image.png"

or
string csPathName = "c:\\image.png"
EvType: Command CommandID: ImportLayer Idx: 0 Path: (csPathName)


Tell me if it does anything or explodes most horribly.

Now off to have a field day with this....

There you go... we're so responsive to user requests we add features you ask for, then send them back in time so they're in there before you asked.

Now that's a competitive edge.

Anyway, [several explosions later], is there a way to specify the path in LoadDialog()? It always seems to default to the Scripts directory.
