Sweet way to make textures that I found!
« on: 21 May 2009, 21:05:21 »
http://www.spiralgraphics.biz

I found this site, and I amazed by the examples, as well as what I saw in the gallery page. The only problem is the simplest version costs $150, while the high end version is $800. However, it does have trials for all the versions! It is for making tileable textures, and looking at the gallery page (http://www.spiralgraphics.biz/gallery.htm), I think this may be great for modelling! It has even a game example (Arcan). I just downloaded it at school, and haven'y actually tried it yet, so maybe this is too soon, but I can't help but think that this could be great. I may even consider buying the lower end version if I like it... Hmm.

One handy thing that everyone can benifit from at least is the royalty free examples, which are in GTX format, but a free viewer download can let them be converted.

Probably a very huge asset for game design and 3D modelling.

Awesome textures!
The muddy texture on that robot thing is really perfect! But I have better things to do with $800 lol.

Yeah, I know it costs money, but it comes with so many. Just download the pro version, since it comes with a bunch of textures, then download the 100% free viewer program, and there, we can render up to 2048 x 2048 (way bigger than we'll ever need) without any watermarks. It must have like 250 + textures defaultly available with both the viewer and studio (once combined). THe best are the medieval doors, medieval windows, wood, metal, and brick textures. The fact that we can always download more could be quite handy too! While I don't want to pay for a software I still don't know how to use, can I help but take advantage of the samples they have placed at my disposal?

BTW: What do we need to spend $800 for? We don't need an animation option. The low end $150 will more than do. Then again, that's still $150. Still, it's cheaper than photoshop...

Its always the same thing with these commercial things, you can't really use any of their textures for free glest mods( if you are planning to release with GPL license or something like this)! Yes, you propapaly can give it away for free, but others will not be allowed to build upon your work and so on...
In fact, if you use them your glest mod will be non free too and you will also get in trouble when you try to mix gpl and commercial parts.
This is not allowed!

I think we better all stay away from any commercial things! This will keep glest free!

But I changed the face though, to look more "egyptian" I made the nose smaller and added the stuff on the eye.
