A FOND FAREWELL

[andrewb2012 Profile]

Hi Folks,

Owing to worsening physical health I have had to cease my blog 'Andrew Buchanan's Arty Facts'.

Click on the link below to read my farewell message & access a token of my appreciation to all, that is, over 1,250 new textures that you can freely use - even commercially.

I am aware of all the recent developments and new effects that have been added since the beginning of the year, but generally, it has been too hard for me to sit and reply to new posts. However, let me assure you that I view your creations and check out new effects with delight.

Best wishes to all my friends on SPE.

Keep up your creative output!

Kind Regards,

Andrew

Sorry to hear of your worsening condition. All your work is much appreciated.
Is there a way to download all at once. (Like in a .zip folder?)

Hi DennB,

Thanks for your kind words - I've emailed Gary to see if he can make a link to a zip file. Let you know if and when the link is live.

Cheers,

Andrew

Hi DennB,

I've updated my blog article as Gary has now created a link to the zip file, so now you can download the full set of textures in one go as requested - it is a big file at approximately 1.5 GB so it may take a while to download.

Thanks to Gary for facilitating your request.

Cheers my friend,

Andrew

Hi Arwin,

Thanks as always for your kind words and best wishes. I will try and keep in touch. Very IMPRESSED with all your recently developed effects - you make some BEAUTIFUL effect structures - love how dynamic your effects are, just not had the energy to experiment with them (maybe one day). The forefront watery reflections effect is simply BRILLIANT and I'm sure it will turn many average images into great ones! Well Done!

Kind regards to you too and Best Wishes in everything you do.

Cheers,

Andrew

Thank you Andrew, meant alot to me as you where one of my teachers and inspirators!
I will continue making new effects and make them as dynamic as possible (if needed ) Love to search for new opportunities to build new and more advanced effect structures

Just take care of yourself now, nothing is more important than that!

Cheers,
Arwin
