Genetica is a standalone texture editing application that streamlines the creation of seamless (or tiling) textures.

Features

Node-Based Engine
All elements of a texture can be edited and rearranged in any order you want, leading to a significant increase in productivity. No change to a texture is permanent, eliminating costly mistakes.

Automatic Seamlessness
Never spend time making a texture seamless again. Genetica will automatically see to the work of making textures seamless, with no additional work required on the part of the designer.

Massive Preset Texture Collection
Over 200 preset textures and texture components are included in Genetica, drastically cutting down texture development time. Instead of starting a new texture from scratch, simply begin with one of the ready-to-use presets. Presets can be rendered as is, or edited to taste.

Resolution Independence
Genetica textures can be re-rendered at any resolution desired. Never again kick yourself because you began a texture at a resolution of 256 by 256, for example, only to later realize that you need 512 by 512 pixels of detail. With just a couple mouse-clicks, the same texture can be re-rendered for anything from the smallest handheld to the latest desktop.

Expandable Detail
All seamless textures in Genetica are cut from an infinitely large source. A texture can therefore be made to repeat as frequently or infrequently as the designer wishes. Users can zoom in and out of textures at will, while Genetica automatically preserves seamlessness. Thus, with just a couple of mouse-clicks, texture work can be repurposed to a variety of applications, dramatically cutting down cross-platform development time.

Reusable Groups
Quickly package textural elements into single groups that can be used again and again throughout your projects to avoid repeated effort. The same effect that added cracks to your brick wall, for example, can instantly be applied to your woodwork. This can also save a tremendous amount of time when trying to achieve a unified feel between your textures.

Expandable Library
The more you use it, the smarter Genetica gets. This is because any textural work you do can be added directly to Genetica’s interface for easy re-use in future projects. Time you invest in a current texturing project can be leveraged in future projects, making Genetica a very efficient development platform.

Importing Previous Work
Use Genetica to squeeze extra mileage out of your preexisting portfolio of bitmap textures. An image can be imported into any part of a Genetica texture tree, allowing you to enhance existing textures with an endless variety of seamless effects.
