How about something like MapZone2? Its free, and pretty slick, uses node based input to procedurally generate texture that you can then output to images to use on models.

Allegorithmic | MaPZone

Core i7 950@3.02GHz | 12GB Corsair Dominator Ram@1600mHz | 2GB Geforce GTX 660

Lightwave | Blender | Marmoset | GIMP | Krita

Ooh cool! Thanks Warlock279

Now, is there something for Linux? Of course there are some plugins for GIMP. But anything else?

AFAIR MapZone works with wine. so no problem here.

Another option would be "Bricks 'n Tiles" . Free for non-commercial use. As the name says, aimed at creating brick and tile textures. Just input a few images, and the brick texture gets created in a more or less random manner -- the more single images, the better. Don't know if it works with wine. Worth a shot!

Or the "Wood Workshop" but since it uses the .NET framework, no chance to install it with wine -- or is there? If you've got a Windows license lying around, why not install it inside a VM? No need to dual boot, then. ;)

All procedural.

For painted textures, Gimp or PS (again with wine), maybe Krita if you don't mind the QT interface ^^.

So far...

I don't have any problems using Windows, I just don't have it installed now... But I have Ubuntu. ;-)

I might try wine. MapZone I have used earlier, when I had XP.

VM install might be possible, or I might stay with original plan and purchase new hard disk and then have Win7 with that...

Krita, btw, is developing quite positively, 2.2.2 is already quite good and newer releases will be even better...

But if you need a painting application in Linux, Mypaint is THE app currently. Well working brush engine, canvas can be rotated and all. Then you need GIMP for finalising, 2.7.1 seems to be quite stable in my rig.

Yeah, there quite many possibilities...
