TextureSynth is a new graphics utility program for the Macintosh that lets you create a wide variety of richly detailed textures, quickly and easily. The program uses continuous-tone shading and color to produce complex images, yet it is extremely fast. The textures can be realistic or abstract – they can range from fine-grained twill, to garish day-glo, or many things in-between.
Textures are created and modified interactively using a unique, control-panel interface. By simply changing a few control settings and color values (or using the program's randomizing feature), many interesting variations can be generated. More complex, composite textures can be made by combining basic elements in one of several modes. TextureSynth also provides a convenient method for organizing and saving multiple texture descriptions in a single file structure.
The images created with TextureSynth can be exported to other applications, such as color paint, illustration, image processing, page layout, video production or 3D animation programs. They can be used in place of scanned-in textures, as backgrounds, area fills, masks, surface maps, etc. The program supports PICT and TIFF file formats at 8 and 24 bits per pixel.
System Requirements
TextureSynth requires a Macintosh computer with color or gray-scale display capability (minimum 8 bits, or 256 colors), one megabyte of RAM, and system software version 6.0.2 or later. 32-bit QuickDraw is recommended. A floating-point chip is not required.
