Van B: "It'd be nice to see a package with all this stuff, texture creation, drawing tools, special effects, animated particle textures, sphere map texture creator, sprite editor etc etc. A one stop art package for game development. "
I think this does most of that infact, it has texture creation, I am not an artist (and don't want to be) but it has enough drawing tools for me to bother with probably not an actual artist mind.., special effects, well have you actually tried this thing, it's not too bad at producing good effects not sure how many you want to see though and what kind.., it does particles and animated ones.., it can create sphere mapped textures too ( I think I saw that in there somewhere..), and sprites it does too, so pretty much all of what you want it covers just how far and at what depth is unsure, I need a texture creator of a reasonable quality without all the art stuff I will never use, and this seems to have most of what I require so will probably buy it, it seems to be supported ok too, so I will finish the 30 day trial and see what change I have floating around.. Oh and the tutorials are good too on the i-tex site the few there are that is.. also it is reaonably easy to learn..
