Re: Map Zone - procedural textures
Hand-painting textures is great. It's a skill that I very much wish I was more polished at. There is no real substitute for custom hand-painted textures.

It's also confusing when the mouse cursor goes off screen for a while and does god-knows-what, and then comes back… -

Ran across this little digital tidbit recently. Map Zone Website Most of you have probably already heard about the company producing this software. They made a pretty big splash in the development community a while back. Their software solution for procedural in-game textures was quite interesting, and was recently…
