I haven't installed any of these.
Whenever you need one filter, open up the pack, and copy/paste the objects with the right filters.

Otherwise you don't have a filter preview so it's pointless to have them in a dropdown list. And it's pointless because going down a list of 1024 or 1296 names in a list takes forever.

This one wasn't the exact same as the previous? Yes, it was, with 15 new texture variants added to each colour schemes.
The previous one is a "sub"pack of this.

Open Clipart has the same display.  I'm using Firefox.  I could test with IE, but it doesn't seem to be a browser issue.

1st one is 1200 px / 1200 px.
2nd is 9600 px / 9600 px.

In every block of the same colour scheme in the second row the first square has the same filters, named as "s9".
Did you open the file or just looking at the thumbnails?

First pack "really worth it" contains 16 filters.
The latter contains 1008 more.
Maybe if the thumbnail was in the same scale as on the first one it would be more worthy?
Generated thumbnails are 2400 px / 2400 px, meaning that the second one would need a 19200 px / 19200 px thumbnail to fit with the other's scale.

Those are screenshots of the forum messages.  They both appear the same size in the forum.  So I guess you're saying that you scaled the thumbnails for the 2nd pack. before you uploaded?

Oh, when I said it was "really worth it", I mean the filters are so good, I'd be willing to give up the space to have them all installed.  I do realize the the 2nd pack contains the same filters, and something clearly went wrong with the thumbnails.  "worth it" isn't a comment about the thumbs, but about the filters.  Or were you teasing me?  I don't know why jokes and sarcasm go right over my head, so often.

Very nice iterations!

It puts me in mind of a zebra.  Like the shape and arrangement of the spirals looks a little like an equine head and neck.  And that reminds me of an artist, whose name I can't remember, but who does (or did?) landscapes, and paintings of nature environments, like a forest scene.  But when you look closely, you'll notice that there are other kind of figures, sort of hidden in the painting.  Like one of them is a forest scene, which has something like 20 different faces hidden in it.  But you have to look carefully, because it's really a stone cliff, or trunk of a tree, of foliage, for example.  But by arranging certain features of the cliff or tree trunks, it creates the illusion of a face, or whatever.  Another one I remember has several horses hidden in it...I think it might be a western landscape, but I don't remember for sure.

All I can remember is it's a female painter.  Although I'm sure other artists have done similar things.

Anyway, I was looking at higher zoom, so I can see some of the details.  There are a couple of places where I'm not sure if the coloring is intentional or not.  I made a couple of screenshots.  The 3 very thin gold strips, at certain places (pink circles) are not so gold anymore.  In some places, it seems like it might be intended as a shadow.  But other places, I'm not so sure.

Without saving the image, I can't zoom enough to be sure (and the area goes outside the forum's "viewbox" for images at high zoom).  But the 3 small spirals on top, the one in the middle doesn't seem to have any gold at all.  I'm not sure if the brown is a different shade, or it's just without the gold, it seems different.

I like the "teeth" or gear-like spikes on the outside edges.  But there a couple of curious places - some seem to have shadows, others not.  In blue circles.

Still very nice work though.  Most people maybe don't notice.  I just point those, in case were overlooked.

This is a "filter in action" image, although nothing that fancy filter wise.
Although it might be a handy pack collecting such dusty filters? Worth a try.

Lazur, I start wondering about your hardware specs ... I assume that, for architecture, one needs a high-end computer nowadays?

I'd consider it the high end of the middle range[/url].
It's a 3 year old samsung laptop with i5-3210M cpu  6GB ram and a radeon HD 7600M graphic card (and a few burnt in screen pixels).
Using an ssd because two complete data loss with hdd-s.
With a laptop cooler it can digest bigger works but I hardly been at its limits. Probably rendering these images took the most resources.


The cad program I have to use is notorious for resource heaviness but haaven't been working on really large projects with it.

Off-Topic: show
Thumbnails are generated automatically at openclipart, main reason why I like for hosting images there.
Each thumbnail used is generated at 2400 px on its larger side, which on a downside renders pixelated when your work is in a portrait format and higher than a certain size -as thumbnails are scaled to fit horizontally.

Embedding them here automatically downscales them by the forum engine -see size information added to the img tags.

I know Rob Gonsalves from the contemporary.

Those were totally intentional as without that bit the image would look more flat.

However if you zoomed in you can also see the shadows are off.
The top shells on the right cast drop shadows mid-air just as they supposed to cast shadows on the other shells below them.

chalk filter in action



-after a bit of modification.
As the original chalk filter only altered the look, keeping the fill attributes, this one uses a flood fill for a "hard-coded" greyscale base.
Quite an easy modification to make, that's why I didn't make a full separate pack from the previous chalk filters -which there are 33 now if I calculate right.

Very nice!!

You know, I heard they don't even have blackboards in primary school anymore.  I can hardly imagine a schoolroom without a blackboard!  Yeah, I'm old....

Wow, is there really such a thing as in the video - that digital-looking board?  Or is that just a cartoon fantasy?

From what I've heard, schools use dry-erase boards now.  But if there's such a thing as that, I guess really elite schools or colleges might use them, those that can afford them.  Here, most schools are dreadfully underfunded....sadly.

Another stone filter pack, kind of like a polished granite collection.

Probably technology exists although it is not in common use.
Here such changes -throwing away the well working for something more complicated hightech solution with a year lifespan- are made usually, connected the corruption. There was a scandal a few years ago of alot kindergartens getting chocolatemilk proof keyboards, way above price and for hardly any practical reason.
