Platinum Arts Sandbox - Free 3D Game Maker Forum

I don't know if anyone has come across this before, but this looks like a nice texture making tool.
Its node based so anyone who has worked with nodes in blender should feel right at home.



and its cross platform too.

I guess I'll try it out...

That looks gorgeous! I've been using MapZone for my textures, so I'm used to nodes. I think I'll try it out!

This is almost exactly like MapZone, Arc. Except for being open source. But anyways, I'm definitely getting this. Looks great.

Too bad I have no clue what a Node is. P-P

Each of those boxes linked together (such as the ones named "brick", "Perlin noise", "warp", etc) is a node. Each does something (else they'd be pointless ).

I am a complete noob when it comes to textures. My question is: Once the texture is made, how do I add it to Sandbox? Is there a step-by-step tutorial?

Regards

@johnno: yes, there is a way to add to Sandbox, you need to export the textures to .jpg or .png first from NTE, to get it into Sandbox, follow here: http://www.sandboxgamemaker.com/wiki/in ... _a_new_map

Wow I love this, I've been using CrazyBump for so long this is a great tool, Great find Ahab!!!!

Best texture tut I have seen. Worked like a charm. Many thanks for the assist. (reason for inquiry: I am trying to recreate the old DOS Wolfensein 3D game using the same textures. Originals were 64x64, but used Gimp to resize and rename. Used the texture tutorial. Now I am rocking. Ah. Memories! - now if I can only figure out how to use the same bad guys... but, that's another story and a different post...)

Again, thanks for the assist.
