I purchased the Essence tectures and Forge last year. I have to say that
I found the product to be a dissapointment. While Forge does a great job
of rendering textures, the time needed to create them is ridiculous.
Also as far as creating seamless textures, it doesn't do a very good job.
I am a die-hard Amiga user, but I find Kai's Power Tools on the mac to be
a much better product at a much lower cost. (Of course you still have to
buy a Mac.) KPT generates a wide variety of seamless textures. It also
does then in much less time than on the Amiga for the same bitmap size.
Both my Amiga and Mac have the same speed '040 procerssor. I do all my
texture creation on the Mac.
