I have recently been asked by 7 parties for the collection
of texture tools I use to molest images into suitable forms for
databases.
I think few people know of the gift code that is available to
do the said task. If you wish to do many strange things to
texture images such as.....
warping out perspective from an image
setting a backgound to zero alpha
converting an "M" component image into an "N" component image M.N = 1,2,3,4
painting on an image
anything else you care to do to an image
you should already know of Paul Haeberli's "imgtools" in 4Dgifts
and the new routines in imageVision execution only "il_eoe" which
comes as standard with any SG workstation.
I have copied all the source I could find on the topic to
a single directory on sgigate - this is mostly a re-publication of
the 1992 CD "Totally Insane" with an image processing slant but I
include stuff also available on the Developers toolbox CD's such as
mtex, but also "taco" a mysterious paintbox program written by
a smart "summer-student type" visitor to Mountain View who I
don't know the name of but would like to, someone said it might have been
a Mr. Voorhies - but not James Voorhies -
Anyway the general message is "Texture is Dead Easy" so have a try.
I spent some time checking that things compiled under IRIX 5.2
and that all the relevant "lib"s were available including the source.
If anyone out there has public domain tools that make the database
modellers life easier I'd like to know that too, then there may be more
than the 14 Mb of stuff I've got so far.

If I am clogging up the net too much with all this stuff just
say and we could perhaps make a RealityCentre CD
