I know this is an old post, but yesterday I was looking for something like that and I've found this page.
Then, keeping wondering around, I've found somewhere a plugin to remove gradients from images. This plugin I'm quite sure was made from the same guy of Texturize or Resynthesizer, but I can't manage to find it again (when I've found this plugin I didn't think I would have need it, but now I need it :) ).

Anyone here can help me to find this plugin? It "just" remove gradients from images (e.g.: a wall where the light degrade vertically).

Thanks in advance.

Actually, it seems to place the new images randomly… ok, that's not so bad :)

As far as I can tell, it just tiles the source image with a certain overlap area where it applies a smooth fade. That's not a lot better than the integrated Map->Make Seamless filter…

I tested the texturizer plugin… First time I've cracked open the Gimp for anything in a long time, and boy was I impressed!

Great work to those developers and I look forward to using it extensively.

I got a wonderful glimpse of the Resynthesizer when Orange was pleading for CC photos. The texture generator in Photoshop is weak IMO by comparison, and I'm quite pleased that there are a few plugins that make the GIMP have the upper hand. The only experience I've had with a GIMP plugin previously is the Verse connectivity one by Eskil & friends, but it failed to ever work on Windows…

Anyhow, more power to the realtime engine people.

I did notice that on the Texturize site, the author states that the plugin doesn't do well with large changes in lightness over the photograph. Well, look no further than "The Power of the High Pass Filter", one of the best & most useful texture tutorials of all time.

Found online here http://www.gamasutra.com/features/20010523/hajba_01.htm
To get past the login wall, use bugmenot.com

Its not quite the same as the original article, which has been offline for a few years, but it gives you the same info. So, with the high pass knowledge, and a super-great texture generation plugin, and a regular stamping tool, you've got the power to texture the world! :D

great article! i have known the resynthesizer but am glad i found the texturizer.

also for windows users in the texturizer link go for the michael schumacher link as he seems to be one of the few to create compiled version of gimp plugins for windows. there i have finally found the long time looked for plasma2 for windows plugin

great articles here. read them every day! :-)

In the not yet released version of blender, they have introduced nodes. I wanted to know if it is possible to make a Gimp node. This would allow you to use any effect and/or image manipulation tool on textures in blender.
