texturedsoft

Texturedsoft is a software framework for creating, editing, and applying textures in computer graphics. It is designed to support procedural texture generation as well as image-based texturing, with tools to produce seamless, tileable patterns, high-resolution texture maps, and material data used by rendering engines.

Core features include a modular texture pipeline, procedural noise and pattern generators, image input and processing, tiling and atlas support, and output channels for color, normal, roughness, metallic, displacement, and emissive maps. It provides a scripting interface and plugin system to extend texture sources and integrate with rendering pipelines. Real-time previews and batch processing are supported.

Architecture: The framework comprises a core engine, a set of texture modules, and an integration layer for common 3D pipelines. The core handles sampling, caching, and mipmapping, while modules implement generators, image processors, and filters. It offers a C++ API with bindings to Python and other scripting languages, and can output textures in PNG, TIFF, and EXR, including shader-ready maps.

Platform and licensing: Texturedsoft is cross-platform for major desktop operating systems. It is distributed under an open-source license with commercial terms available for enterprise use. The ecosystem includes example projects, documentation, and community plug-ins.

Applications and reception: It is used in game development, film post-production, architecture visualization, and product design to standardize texture assets across tools. The project is noted for flexibility and extensibility, though adoption varies across pipelines. See also procedural texture, texture mapping, shader, material editor.
