Create Seamless Textures From Photos Taken At Any Perspective

Seamlessifier is a new Windows tool by developer Puck that extracts textures from photos taken at any angle and converts them into seamless textures for use on 3D models. It features polygon-based selection, real-time preview, multiple seamless generation methods (Smoothed Collage, Scattered Edges), seam blending, detail restoration, contrast/lighting adjustment, and texture atlas export. The tool also supports pixel-art workflows and built-in perspective correction. Some workflows are still experimental, and texture atlas packing isn't fully automated. Currently Windows-only, with a macOS version expected soon. It's available at 50% off on itch.io.

Brad Pitt's Fight Club Look Recreated in 3D with UE5.7

3D artist Ivailo Ivanov recreated Brad Pitt's Tyler Durden look from the 1999 film Fight Club as a photorealistic real-time portrait. The character was sculpted in ZBrush, with base details and albedo sourced from TexturingXYZ, grooming handled via XGen, and the final render produced in Unreal Engine 5.7 using Lumen. The work is part of Ivanov's ongoing series of high-fidelity 3D portrait recreations.

Procedural Curve-Based River Generator For Blender

Fares Asem has released Stylized River Generator, a Blender 5.1 tool that builds complete stylized river environments from a single curve. It automatically generates water, rocks, trees, flowers, and grass along riverbanks. The water system responds dynamically to the curve's slope — flat areas produce slow flow, steeper sections create waterfalls — and reacts to placed objects by generating foam and turbulence. A tree generator with customizable settings is included, and the tool supports custom assets for style matching.
