One of the many interesting points he made was people moan about there being information overload these days, which is nonsense, ever since Gutenberg it's been impossible to keep up with all the "information". What's changed is that your filters don't work as well as they used to. I love this. If we distill that as - there isn't too much information, you just need better filters - you can then swap information for almost anything and it still works. There isn't too much TV, you just need better filters. There isn't too much email, you just need better filters. There aren't too many meetings, you just need better filters. Interesting thought to apply to work. Systems. Anyway.
VIZOO GmbH Brilliant textures, easily. Are you still using a flatbed scanner or a simple camera to capture materials? With xTex you will be equally fast and additionally get physically based color-, transparency-, specular-, normal- and displacement textures of constant high quality. Tiling is tedious? These times are gone. xTex does not only support you, it does almost everything itself. You just need to select a proper region of the material and xTex will automatically make the textures seamless. New feature: Material Synthesis! Material Synthesis is more than just another feature. See the preview: Well connected. The finest textures are not worth much without a software to render them. Finally a software without learning curve. With xTex you can start to create materials right away. A professional device that fits on your desktop. Being small in its outer dimensions the xTex scanner can take in material swatches up to A4 size.
