Hi friends <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/TFR708.gif" alt="" />
<br />
Back on M$ for now I've been searching around the web for interesting software I missed the last years. In the freebie section of one big German IT related press group
<br />
I stumbled across this nifty little open source tool called SmillaEnlarger.
<br />
As we all know, Posette's main problem is the one that most women have <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/wink.gif" alt="" />
<br />
What to wear! The variety of textures of up to date quality is rather small.
<br />
Simply enlarging old, lo res textures won't do. Here this little proggie comes in.
<br />
It does extreme upscaling by interpolating the resulting blocks with a grain/dithering while preserving detail . No problem scaling up an old 950x950 texture to 3000 square with a real nice result.
<br />
There are versions for win, mac and linux, but on the home page is no compiled win version so I post the link to the magazine page this time, there's link to the home page, too. Don't need installation, you can run it from a stick as well
<br />

<br />
<br />
Another nice application I found is related to meshes, Mesh Lab
<br />
It's a real swiss knife for meshes. You can convert, fix, vertex paint and even do simple modeling, simply a must have. A mighty tool.
<br />
I did only a quick test drive with the x86 version, because the x64 asked me for the M$ visual C++ 2008 x64 library, that I didn't want to install just for testing. Just amazing!
<br />
It's available, as most open source stuff, for mac and linux, too
<br />

Have fun <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Thanks Ahjah, got them both.

<br />
Not that I got what it takes to use them though...
