Texturelab
Generate procedural textures with TextureLab, a free, cross-platform, GPU-accelerated tool available through itch.io.
About Texturelab
TextureLab is a tool for generating procedural textures, which are created by rules and parameters rather than painted or photographed by hand. The source describes it as free, cross-platform, and GPU-accelerated. The official download is hosted on itch.io, and this GitHub repository holds the source code, which is licensed under GPLv3. The listed platforms are Linux and Windows.
Building from source requires Qt 6, CMake, and several system libraries. The Linux build needs Mesa and related packages, and the Windows build can use MSYS2 with g++ if MSVC is not installed. The README also states that the project will soon be converted to a Qt project, and that open issues will be addressed after that conversion is complete.
