Turbulence effects in Photoshop?

stackhaus23 — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 07:33:39 -0800

Are there any filters that can reproduce the turb effects created in Matador Sprite (1997) in a modern version of Photoshop (or similar)? A senior artist where I work uses a Silicon Graphics Indigo2 machine alongside his regular workstation as it runs Matador Sprite which he uses to create or edit textures. He favours the turbulence effects it has and its adjustable blurring brushes, as well as a few other features. Is there anyone that creates plugins for Photoshop that could recreate such effects or enhance the effects already installed?

Thanks a lot guys!

Know any other songs like "El Matador" by Los Fabulosos Cadillacs? It recently showed up (unsurprisingly) in the movie The Matador and I was reminded how much I like this song.

Specifically, I like all the crazy drums and whistles and stuff going on in the background. Other LFC songs I've heard, while still excellent, are completely different, with more of a ska-type thing going on.

I'm guessing this is more of a traditional Argentine style of music, but I don't know what it's called. There's also a Paul Simon album that uses this style, but it's kind of cheesy and not so badass as "El Matador".
