XPro Software: Interested in Amiga-version of texture collections? (Update)
The Italian developer XPro Software is thinking about an Amiga version of his texture libraries about materials, sky, trees and trees from the bird's-eye view if there is sufficient interest.
By request of amiga-news.de, XPro Software told that such a Amiga version would not only include IFF-conversions and a "cover in Amiga style" but would also do not cost so much money in order to promote applications on Amiga systems.
The company tries to find out if there is a demand of professional applications in the sections graphics, construction, architecture and 3D.
If you are interested in such an Amiga version of the texture collection of XPro Software then please use the following contact form.
Update: (19:14, 04.07.10, snx)
As XPro Software told us, in case of sufficient interest in the Amiga market for their products also porting of their applications GeniuX Photo EFX and GeniuX Arch EFX (without DWG support) as well as two further programs currently in development might be possible. 3D GeniuX, however, would be too big to be ported to AmigaOS, MorphOS or AROS currently.
