Filter Forge can produce a wide range of textures and effects which include organic structures, metallic and rocky surfaces, distortions, abstract textures, repeating patterns, color corrections, and more. All filters are adjustable and editable, seamlessly tiled, resolution independent, and support real-world HDRI lighting. 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.

Preorder Ultraforge, the AI-Powered Filter Forge Successor After 8 years of development, we're happy to announce the long-awaited Filter Forge successor, codenamed Ultraforge – a powerful node-based environment for image generation and processing:
- GPU support for significant speed improvement.
- Node-based programming: nodes for bitmaps, numbers, strings, lists, and more.
- Generative AI support: generate images from text using Stable Diffusion AI.
- Image-to-Image AI: create images from other images using AI – effects on steroids!
- AI upscalers: smart way to resize your images without losing quality
