Overviewįilter Forge is a Shareware software in the category Graphics Applications developed by Filter Forge, Inc. Filter Forge's custom memory manager allows it to render large bitmaps – up to 65536圆5536 pixels – even on moderate amounts of RAM. A high-precision floating-point rendering pipeline allows Filter Forge to support 16- and 32-bit image modes and eliminates unwanted artifacts such as color banding. For end-users, the filter internals are hidden behind a simple set of filter controls – anyone can immediately benefit from filters without knowing what is inside them.įilter Forge's rendering engine takes full advantage of multi-core processors – for example, a dual-core processor can speed the rendering up to 96%. Components include familiar operations such as blurs, gradients, color adjustments, distortions, and blending.

Filters are assembled by connecting components into a network to combine their effects. The key feature of Filter Forge is the Filter Editor, a visual node-based environment allowing users to build custom filters without writing a single line of code. Also, filters can automatically generate diffuse, specular, bump, and normal maps, which makes Filter Forge an essential tool for artists creating 3D models and environments, architectural visualization and high-end game content. All filters are adjustable and editable, seamlessly tiled, resolution-independent, and support real-world HDRI lighting.
