In a recent thread BamBam Sachertorte mentioned a cool program he wrote called Context Free. It's "an algorithmic art program" which is almost infinitely flexible and powerful and is great for generating alpha channels. I'm reposting the link so this useful tool doesn't get buried. Below is an example of a graphic created with Context Free and the texture I made using it but the program does far more than just plant shapes. Check it out.

This is a very limited example. The program is wicked awesome. Good stuff, BamBam. :)
