Essence I and II are collections of algorithmic textures for Imagine. 
They have recently been updated to version 3.0, and work well with 
Imagine 3.0. These textures are AWESOME... They have everything - fractal 
noise, water textures, organics, space textures, alpha channels, noise 
textures, and lots more. Definatly worth checking out!

Forge is a texture rendering system for use with Essence. This program 
will QUICKLY (and how!) render samples of up to 9 textures combined in 
user-definable configurations. VERY handy for designing textures for your 
projects! Forge also supports texture animation, and will show quick 
thumbnails of the animation so you see what you're getting. 

Both products are from APEX SOFTWARE. Contact them (hi Steve!) at:

I'm not an employee of Apex, just happy with them and their products.
