Define                    Texture Garden textures
|                         =======================
|
| This directory contains a large number of demonstration textures designed to
| be used in conjunction with the Texture Garden program.  They are all plain
| text files.  To examine the textures they produce, load Texture Garden and
| drag the files into its main window.
|
Define Contents  : Description
|      ~~~~~~~~
Define 3D        | These are made by sculpting a surface from a solid block
|                  of texture.  Most of them are designed to tesellate
|                  seamlessly when wrapped around spheres.
|
Define Dust      | These are named after a technique employed in their
|                  generation.  They often look as though they are covered in
|                  small spots or streaks.
|
Define FFT_xD    | Again, named after techniques employed in their generation,
|                  these demonstrate the main techniques used in texture
|                  generation by the program.  Beginners should start here.
|                  One dimensional fourier transforms often produce images
|                  that look wavey, while two dimensional transforms are
|                  probably the most powerful technique employed, producing a
|                  gigantic range of impressive patterns which animate in
|                  interesting ways.  However, they cost in germination time,
|                  especially when grown to large sizes.  Please be warned
|                  that the filenames here do not make much sense yet.
|
Define Filtering | These are some textures that use filtering techniques.
|                  These are sometimes used to simulate lightsourcing.
|
Define Flowers   | A technique quite different to those used in most of the
|                  other textures currently available with Texture Garden.
|
Define Invariant | These textures do not scale when displayed on different
|                  scales.  This can make them useful as backgrounds.
|
Define Mandala   | Textures often employing mirrors or rotation to produce
|                  symmetrical effects.
|
Define Misc      | These textures did not fit into the other categories.
|                  They are often less aesthetically pleasing.
|
Define WWW       | These are just a few of the images that I used in creating
|                  the web site from which Texture Garden has been made
|                  available.
|
| Enjoy.
