Procedural texture generator

Dear all,

I am looking for a program for baking textures out of formulas. Do you know good ones? This could be a standalone app or a photoshop plugin.

Thanks,

Etienne

Have you considered Matlab already ? It has plenty of graphical modules.

A custom texture node for blender could be a good alternative, there should not be too much API knowledge required to put this together.

Hopefully someone will come with a complete answer. Strictly speaking, mine was "no" :)

I'm not even sure how formulas turn into textures but Filter Forge (standalone or PS plugin) has a script node. It's LUA based.

It also has a lot of math component nodes.

Damned, that software looks spot on. I will definitely have a look at it...
