Or define precisely how deep you want the mortar, and what pattern you want the bricks stacked in. So, you can select custom brick and mortar textures for a brick wall, for example. First, because they are algorithmically generated, you have a fine degree of control over what the final texture looks like. Alien Skin’s procedural textures have several advantages over stock photo textures. The Textures package offers a range of basic textures including Animal Fur, Bricks, Marble, Reptile Skin, and Wood.
(The other two collections, Nature and Impact, will be released next year.) The first of these is Textures, a set of procedural texture generators that allow you to create seamlessly tiled textures of any size. Eye Candy now consists of three separate packages, each one following a particular theme. With version 5, Alien Skin has changed its approach. However, because it offered a somewhat random collection of effects - some texture generators, a noise plug-in, as well as others - some users found themselves buying a number of plug-ins they didn’t need to get the effect they wanted. Offering a valuable mish-mash of visual-effect plug-ins, Eye Candy has proven to be useful for Web designers, 3-D animators, and print professionals. :)Īnyway, while a few of the Alien Skin filters are nice, there are a lot of them which I don't even use, because they are so amateurish, and/or don't fit into my design schemes.Alien Skin Software’s Eye Candy has long been a favored plug-in collection for Photoshop users of all types. Sorry for going off on a tangent, but I just had to vent. I am sick of their greed, and I refuse to bow to their latest demands.
I have invested piles of money into Adobe Photoshop since version 5 - no, not CS5, but 5.0.
They suck us for money for upgrades year after year, when what they should REALLY be doing is EXPANDING their user base in order to increase their profits, instead of milking their established users over and over again.īTW, yes, I am also on the "Forget you, Adobe!" bandwagon with regards to their new subscription model. The greed of some of these software developers appalls me. Question: Why is lightning being described as "new" in the above description? I find this a bit deceptive, because all Alien Skin has really down is REINTRODUCE Lightning, Electrify and Little Fluffy Clouds from their old Xenofex plugin, due to user interest in these old - but still useful - effects.Īside from the above issue, even though I have been using Eye Candy since at least version 4, in an email discussion I held with an Alien Skin employee two years ago, they still required that I pay a $100.00 upgrade fee.
