Luxology Releases imageSynth Plug-in for Photoshop
Community
New Tool Streamlines Arduous Process of Creating
Tiling Textures, Synthetic Images, Unique Backgrounds
and More
San Mateo, Calif. - Aug. 29, 2006 - Luxology® LLC,
an independent technology company developing next-generation
3D content creation software, today announced it is now
offering its unique imageSynth plug-in for Adobe® Photoshop® CS
and CS2 software. imageSynth is advanced technology that
allows Adobe Photoshop users to quickly and easily create
seamless textures, synthetic images, backgrounds, and
generate high-resolution images from low-resolution sources.
Previously available exclusively to modo users, the imageSynth
plug-in is now available to the entire Photoshop community
and can be purchased directly from the Luxology website
at modo3d.com.
"imageSynth is very beneficial for accomplishing a
myriad of tasks that go beyond traditional 3D applications," said
Brad Peebler, president and co-founder of Luxology. "Our
modo user community has raved about imageSynth for months
and we decided it was time to make this unique tool available
to all Photoshop users who need a fast and simple solution
for creating synthetic images."
"The imageSynth plug-in provides a quick and robust
way to generate useful textures. This appeals to a wide
variety of Photoshop users from game developers to architects
and graphic designers who will use imageSynth as a part
of their own unique workflows," said Kevin Connor, senior
director of product management for Digital Imaging at
Adobe. "With innovative companies like Luxology continuing
to find new ways to extend the capabilities of Photoshop,
the ecosystem of solutions for our customers keeps getting
better."
The imageSynth plug-in is a powerful ally to Adobe
Photoshop software and is based upon proprietary technology
licensed from Allegorithmic SAS. The plug-in is simple
to use and lets designers create high-quality, tiling
images based on simple seed images that are fed to the
plug-in inside of Adobe Photoshop. imageSynth quickly
processes the images and generates new images that are
unique and will tile together seamlessly, making them
ideal for use as backgrounds, brushes or texture maps.
Users can manually control how the resulting image is
built up spatially or use automatic options to generate
the final, tiling image. imageSynth also allows users
to produce a new single image that originally came from
separate image sources.
"I'm often called upon to make large tiling images
and imageSynth is my secret weapon for simplifying this
time consuming task," said James Darknell, art director
at Mutant Pixel Digital Design Labs.
"It is innovative and artist-empowering tools like modo
and imageSynth that put Luxology so far ahead of the
competition in my book."
"imageSynth is at the top of my list when it comes
to 'must-have' plug-ins for Photoshop," said Dan Ablan,
president of AGA Digital Studios Inc., and founder of
3D Garage.com. "It is without a doubt the fastest and
easiest way to create seamless textures for my 3D work."
Pricing and Availability
The
imageSynth plug-in is available for USD $99 and can
be purchased directly from modo3d.com. imageSynth works
with both the Windows and Macintosh versions of Adobe
Photoshop CS1 or higher. The product comes with documentation
and video tutorials that explain how to use the plug-in
to create new and unique images. Purchasers of imageSynth
are welcome to use the plug-in on both the PC and the
Mac as needed. For more information or to view sample
