Hi,

Does anyone knows a similar tool to TextureMaker's Textractor but preferably free? I am working on a side project that requires huge amounts of photo realistic textures to be extracted from digital photos but I will use it only for some short period of time thus I don't want to buy TextureMaker only for this purpose.

I did a quick search but could not find anything that matches this even in commercial software products.



Maybe someone could share their own techniques how to do this quickly I know I can just use perspective stretching tool in GIMP but it would take like 4 times longer to produce just one texture but I need to make at least few hundreds of them. Not even talking about fixing brightness differences in the corners manually... ugh

Thanks,
Olby

I had a plugin for photoshop that did this for me. But I forgot what it was called and also I was using a trial version.

Btw, I didn't know texture maker could do this. And I've had it since two years ago aww:S

Paint Shop Pro does that, might be a better investment - I find PSP great for quickly making textures seamless using the clone tool and mirroring each side.

I'm of the opinion that Paint Shop Pro, even the older versions, is very underrated. Does an awful lot for the price and my version four starts as quick as Paint. Except it does a lot more, obviously.

Cool, didn't know it could do that. Do you know how to do it in PSP9? I'm not even sure what to call it to search for it...

Yeah, just look for the raster deform tool icon under the hand on the left side. Then click the little arrow next to it and you should have 4 tools, select Perspective Correction, and your away. You move the points then double click the center to do the correction. Do it on a copy of your photograph just in case, because it corrects the whole picture - you have to actually cut the part out after correcting.

Just use PSP or buy texture maker I would recommend you should get PSP (never used it) because it has the clone tool the clone tool is very powerful and once you master it making seamless images is like a snap

Thanks for the useful comments but a few seconds ago I found this - which look quite promising and professional.
