Hello, At the moment I am trying to recreate something from a favourite comic series, And I am stuck on texturing.

What I need to know is if there is a program or anything that will create a blank texture according to the spec's I give it.

(I.E, I ask it to give me a texture that will wrap around a sphere of x.y.z size)

Anyone know?

Any size texture will wrpa round any object.

Texture dimensions shoudl be powers of 2, to avoid SL resizing them for you.


For a sphere, I suggest either 256x128 or 512x256, The 2:1 aspect ration produces the best results.
