*A:M User* Roger Posted December 9, 2019 *A:M User* Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) I know DarkTree textures were rolled into AM at some point and the plugin is available...but how do you go about making new textures to use with the plugin? Are they still selling the software? Or did it go the abandonware route? It looks like their website hasn't been updated since 2010. Edited December 9, 2019 by robcat2075 topic clarified Quote

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted December 10, 2019 Hash Fellow Posted December 10, 2019 I see now that Roger was really asking about authoring new materials that use the Symbiont plugin. For that you would have to have the separate DarkTree program which is not sold anymore. Alas! However I'll note that the .dsts files are all text files. Perhaps some clever person can deduce useful information from them DarkTree Knotty Pine Flooring Version: 2.00 Modified: 05/15/2003 Author: Ron Wolfe // So far, I've found that Agate makes the best wood grain. Play // with the contrast, and especially scale it by compressing the x // axis and stretching the y axis to get the grain pattern that you // want. There are numerous ways to keep adjusting this shader to // get many different types of wood. This one looks a little like // knotty pine. By Ron Wolfe.
