About Texl 2
I started with Texl 2, October 2015.
Every month I still get 100+ hits for my old Texl; a seamless texture generator.
The old one is really outdated a bit (written around 1998/1999). Also hard to run now; from a browser, since it was written in Java/Java-applet. And it only supported 256x256 textures.
For Texl 2. First I tried to port some of my old Texl tools, filters & ideas, next added a few new options and tools. Support for different texture sizes etc. But still got more ideas to work on.
I write these kind of tools, for personal fun and creation.
Call me lazy? I can do it by hand, but then I`m thinking, can I make some kind of software doing just that, and maybe with 1000+ more options, and crazy possibilities?
It's nice other people could use my tools as well, creating new stuff with it; that sometimes makes me even gasp; 'how did they do that?!', I guess love to be creative & share my creative tools as well.
There are a lot of great creators around! And everyone got there own style! Your work created with my tools, becomes your own creation & copyright, you can sell, use in your personal library, use for games or design etc.!
For every 10$ or 10€ in donations. I can spend 60+ minutes more developing this software further. Add more tools and options etc.
If you like the software, a little tip would be more then welcome, and would make such a difference.
I love seeing work you created with my tools, send me a snapshot/image, one day. always love seeing that! I know a lot of creators, using my software are struggling hard to get by themself as well. A nice word of message is just as welcome!
When you are around Amsterdam, Love people/tourist to show around the city as well. Cool places to go, visit, or where to get nice food etc.
You can donate some L$ to 'Cel Edman' in second life, or buy some of my in-world mesh/sculpt creation tools there.
