Ana, Let me echo Martin Foster's querry: >>>I just received an offer to upgrade Photostyler 1.1a to 2.0. Do you have 2.0? Is it worth it. Sounds good on paper and I like Photostyler 1.1a<<< If I understand your message than the Photostyler 2.0 + Fractal X2 combo will be a great graphic tool. The Fractal X2 package does not require Fractal Painter but can be used as a plug-in to Photostyler. Do I have this right? Now with a program that Greg Pyros has we could render with a video post call to this great graphic combo which would then turn each rendered .tga/.tif into watercolor, pencil, charcoal or pastel frames for a complete animation with a totally different feel than 3ds usually produces.[I hope Greg jumps in here because I'm not sure how his IPAS library works – maybe there is no need for anything but his IPAS] The same effect could be accomplished with Suresh Kavan's batch file method which would take the series of .TGA/.TIF after rendering and process them with the Photostyler 2.0 + Fractal X combo. Please set me straight if I've this all wrong.
