solidify A – effect (fix seems texture)

It’s a very useful effect to whole cover your texture without leaving any empty space in order not to have issues with seems in your 3d model. Everyone who works with 3D or game engines I am sure they know what I am talking about.

ornament – effect (image distortion)

This effect is similar in a way to the built-in Photoshop effect “polar coordinates”, which can be found at Filter – distort – polar coordinates.

hyperbolic square – effect (repeat distortion)

Basically, it’s a repeat effect. You could also try the hyperbolic disk effect, it’s quite similar except that the overall shape as you can imagine is based on a disk instead of a square.

I am not saying that all the effects that has are been useful. Some are more useful than others. Don’t forget it’s a free plugin.
