Werkkzeug Texture Renderer

I discovered a freeware tool with which you can render textures procedurally:

Maybe it can be usefull for some mappers too.

Examples:


This is a realtime computer animation, 177kb in size (!), using this tool to render all textures for the city:

You can also use MaPZone. It creates some really advanced materials and shaders:

You can also use photoshop, it creates some pretty kick ass, none noise filled assets

Procedural has its uses. I think it's a great starting point to creating some realistic base materials like metal or concrete and then using those base layers in Photoshop (I sometimes also make use of Illustrator) to create masks and layers of different materials to create wall panels and other textures.
