Paint Engine by Fantastic Machines



Paint Engine by Fantastic Machines is a freeware plugin filter for creating
lots of different effects.  Many presets are included with Paint Engine and
best of all, you can create and save your own settings.

Below are a few effects I have created, along with the settings.
