Aem is a 2D Drawing Algorithem that lets everyone of us programmers to create or generate high detail textures from the range of a pistol to a huge terrain data.

it works on a single face of a single object with the option to "conitue" on the next adjacent face giving you a seamless texture .

so what is the diffrence from other texture editors or creators?
well , here you work directly on the mesh so you actually paint on it a "brush" or Stamp , or an Image file loaded into memory.


KeyFeatures:

Paint using brushes on Objects using UV Faces.
Random Paiting using brushes on Objects using UV faces.
Automate Uv Faces for external edit like Photoshop or Gimp.
Automate Normal Mapping after Texturing.
Automate Model Placment like Grass/ Bushes / Trees
Automate Regions Placment such as Light / Sound Fx (grass,dirt etc)

actually this will make a programmer who wants to Rapid Prototype a current Level or Map or just an Area within a Level or a Map to "feel" hows it going to look at the end.

Best KeyFeature : its free to use, Lets show those Artists ,what a Cpu can do

Installation Notes:
the DirectX.dll file inside Aem01b folder , is the latest, if it dosent work, you may have to install the latest DirectX, not the SDK just DirectX.

After AEM

Before - Switching the channels

After AEM

It looks good. I've not had time to try it out, but can you do roads, trees, dirt paths, etc. too?

It looks like a pretty interesting program, haliop. When I downloaded and tried to use it:


This is my work computer, so if I get time tonight, I will retry on my home PC which should be able to run it.

@CoughMist
Download the latest DirectX 9.0c.

CoughMist, a lot of ppl have this problem , its what Thebeely said , im using the latest DirectX SDK to compile , if you have an older version then ive put the d3dx9_42.dll for you , but if it dosent work you need to download the latest and the application will run it will also ignore this file since it will be located at Windows/system files.

KIStech , well yes.. however i never thought of implenting roads , since its not a terrain editor what i do is , just paint the road with the right color and stamp it by defining what the road will look like same for dirt road.
about the tress and overall foliage/flora/grass .. i am planning on implenting them.
AEM will do all the work for you, what it wont do is build the actuall terrain.
