[Others]Advice on Texture Creation Program - Polyloop

primus · 8th March 2008, 15:47

Hello, I finally have something I need to post about :-) I am looking to buy a texture creation program that also does bump and normal maps. I have pretty much settled on Filter Forge. I would just like to ask if anyone here uses it, and if they are satisfied with it. I waited to post this until I was settled on the program I wanted so this wouldn't like like one of those software 1 vs software 2 trolling threads.

I would try crazybump

Thanks for the reply. I looked at Crazybump, and it seemed pretty awesome for normal and bump maps, and maybe when it gets out of beta and the author has settled on pricing I might take another look. I looked around rather heavily and it seemed that Filter Forge was right for my uses. I was actually going to buy it in the next couple of days unless I heard something really negative here from someone who owns it. I almost bought Genetica pro, but in the end I settled on Filter Forge as it looked a lot less limited as far as size.

Filter Forge is pretty good. You can download the demo and try it out. I even got 3 of my creations added into their database collection.

Yes, I sprung for it yesterday and am now in the act of trying to figure it out.
