Create your own textures using SynTex

Syntex allows a texture artist to design images that are different for every generation but have the same overall characteristics, much like two pieces of wood from the same tree. These images are suitable for many applications including web page backgrounds, desktop backgrounds, and 3D graphics. All of the textures and banners on the Synthetic Realms website were created using SynTex. Use the Gallery link to view some sample textures created using SynTex. Here is a screen shot of SynTex.
