Brief description
=================

   TextureStudio supports the loading of texture modules in Imagine3
format. The parameters of the texture can quickly and easily be
adjusted by means of slider gadgets or by typing in the numbers. The
texture can then be mapped onto a plane, cylinder or sphere and
rendered to a preview screen and/or as a 24-bit image to disk.

   Many aspects of the texture and render can be altered including axis
position/alignment/size, lighting settings, object colours, object size
etc.

   TextureStudio allows the user to quickly render the texture and
explore the effects of changing various parameters without the need to
ray-trace a new image each time something is altered.

   TextureStudio can render images to disk in ILBM-IFF24, JPEG or Targa
format. This allows high quality images to be rendered and loaded into
other programs. 24-bit images of any size can be rendered, regardless
of memory available.

   Some example textures are included in the distribution but Imagine3
is required to be able to use its textures.
