Post Some Tools

Hi friends
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
I stumbled across this nifty little open source tool called SmillaEnlarger.
As we all know, Posette's main problem is the one that most women have
What to wear! The variety of textures of up to date quality is rather small.
Simply enlarging old, lo res textures won't do. Here this little proggie comes in.
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.
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

Another nice application I found is related to meshes, Mesh Lab
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.
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!
It's available, as most open source stuff, for mac and linux, too
http://meshlab.sourceforge.net/

Have fun

Thanks Ahjah, got them both.

Not that I got what it takes to use them though...
