For those that have PaintShopPro, Adobe PhotoShop, Corel PhotoPaint, or one of the other major brand photo editing software, I found something that's cool that you "might" be able to use. It's a plug-in for making easy camo patterns. Here's the link All you do is download the file and then click on it to install and send it to your photo editing software directory into the plugins folder. If you don't have one, just create one like I did. Then open up file you want to use it on, or a blank one in the program you installed it to and then it should be under “Effects”. (I’m going by what PaintShopPro7 has it as) It works great and has some camo patterns already put in there. It’s rather spiffy if you ask me. It'd be nice to add to a website background, to text, make your own reference, etc. The Marines just made their computer generated camo pattern, NOW YOU CAN TOO KIDS!!! #:-) The same site also has a plug-in for snowflakes and night vision. So for any modern or BOB dio it would work great. I've also found some out there (not this site though) that simulate realistic water reflective effects. I didn't even know much about these until a few days ago, so check em' out. I think they can be put to a lot of use in our hobby.

Yes indeed. VanDerLee's plugins are pretty cool. Along with the camo PI, he has some other ones worth noting.
Halftone is cool for making your model look like it's from an old newspaper or photo.
Nightvision and Snowscape add cool effect too.
Thanks for pointing them out Bracomadar.

That's cool. My first thought was it will be great to produce a mask template for masking off a kit.
Great post. Downloaded and going to try it out in a bit.
