Terrain Texture Shader released

[Natural Graphics]

Wow...that example of Yosemite Valley looks amazing! What a shame it's for MAC only...I would have loved to try this out. By any chance, do you have plans to release a PC version sometime in the future?

Thanks. Yes, I estimate a January or February release date for the PC version.

There's also a command-line driven program to do texture shading, which is available now for Windows as well as Mac. (The source code is also included, so you could even compile it for Linux or another operating system if you want.) It's not as user friendly, and it has no additional features except to compute the texture shading, but it's the exact same core algorithm as in Terrain Texture Shader. You can download the software and user guide at app.box.com/textureshading/. My slide presentation from the 2010 NACIS conference is also there, for anyone interested in what the algorithm does.
