| There are many programs out there to create your own textures, both patterned and seamless. The power of TaME comes from giving the user all the control to create new textures in a what-you-see-is-what-you-get type environment with easy to use onscreen controls and real-time processing of the users work. The screenshots of texture and swatch examples shown on this page were generated from sample images that are distributed with TaME. Please note that they are low resolution 9-photo collages for personal use only. Use higher resolution images for finer detailing. |

| MODES Thumbnail and Actual |
|
|
These two modes of extracting textures were included for variety and
fun. The Thumbnail mode takes the extracted texture from the
onscreen representation of your digital image, whilst the Actual (actual
size) mode extracts the texture directly from your digital
image. The results are totally different, just look at the
following side-by-side examples taken from the same image coordinates. |

| VIEWS Repeat PATTERN & Mirror SEAMLESS |
| When you see the power of seamless textures, you often wonder why would I use anything else. The answer is all dependent on the project your texture is for. For example, how about the shingles on the roof or windows in an office building. Of course, you could use a seamless texture for these but you might also use one that is not seamless for a mosaic or tiled effect. |
| These examples were taken using Repeat PATTERN mode. | These examples were taken using the Mirror SEAMLESS mode. |

| OUPUT CHOICES Size and Style |
|
| The following examples were all taken from the same image coordinate and give you a rough idea of how simply changing the SIZE of the extracted texture can give it more resolution and a whole new look. Additionally, a user can choose which STYLE best suits what is seen in the swatch that is generated in the Pattern Viewing panel to be saved. |

| Full Description | |
| "Why Buy When You Can Create!" TaME,
the Texture and Material
Extractor, is the perfect tool for creating original materials,
textures and patterns for your 3D figures, clothing and props. With
TaME you can use any digital image, albeit photograph or graphic, in
the BMP, JPG or PNG formats to quickly and easily
create your very own
original textures to be applied to all of your projects. Not sure if this is software you need or want? Then first download and try the Demonstration (DEMO) or Limited Edition (LITE) version which includes accompanying sample images and the user's guide showing all the available functions to see for yourself. With the exception of using SAVE, the Demo is fully functional allowing you to use all the different features of TaME to see the type of textures and materials you could get to use in your very own projects. The Lite version is limited in functionality but does allow you to SAVE so that you can play with the extracted texture files. If you find yourself constantly working with the same source image for a big project, you can simply convert and rename your source image to the default image name so it will load every time you use TaME. Be sure to rename the original default image file to something you can remember if you want to restore it at the end of your project. |
