- Define Texture Garden textures
- | =======================
- |
- | This directory contains a large number of demonstration textures designed to
- | be used in conjunction with the Texture Garden program. They are all plain
- | text files. To examine the textures they produce, load Texture Garden and
- | drag the files into its main window.
- |
- Define Contents : Description
- | ~~~~~~~~
- Define 3D | These are made by sculpting a surface from a solid block
- | of texture. Most of them are designed to tesellate
- | seamlessly when wrapped around spheres.
- |
- Define Dust | These are named after a technique employed in their
- | generation. They often look as though they are covered in
- | small spots or streaks.
- |
- Define FFT_xD | Again, named after techniques employed in their generation,
- | these demonstrate the main techniques used in texture
- | generation by the program. Beginners should start here.
- | One dimensional fourier transforms often produce images
- | that look wavey, while two dimensional transforms are
- | probably the most powerful technique employed, producing a
- | gigantic range of impressive patterns which animate in
- | interesting ways. However, they cost in germination time,
- | especially when grown to large sizes. Please be warned
- | that the filenames here do not make much sense yet.
- |
- Define Filtering | These are some textures that use filtering techniques.
- | These are sometimes used to simulate lightsourcing.
- |
- Define Flowers | A technique quite different to those used in most of the
- | other textures currently available with Texture Garden.
- |
- Define Invariant | These textures do not scale when displayed on different
- | scales. This can make them useful as backgrounds.
- |
- Define Mandala | Textures often employing mirrors or rotation to produce
- | symmetrical effects.
- |
- Define Misc | These textures did not fit into the other categories.
- | They are often less aesthetically pleasing.
- |
- Define WWW | These are just a few of the images that I used in creating
- | the web site from which Texture Garden has been made
- | available.
- |
- | Enjoy.
