Texture Anarchy Adobe Photoshop Filters

Photoshop textures - Anarchy without limits.

Texture Anarchy is a set of Adobe Photoshop filters for creating textures and borders. With these three Photoshop texture filters, you can create a variety of seamless, infinite textures that range from realistic and organic to design-appropriate. Plain old math is used to generate, extend, and output an image.

Three Photoshop filters, many options.

The three Photoshop filters in this suite are Texture Anarchy Explorer, Tiler Anarchy and Edge Anarchy. Texture Explorer is the centerpiece of the Photoshop textures set. This filter creates seamless procedural textures. As with the other two Photoshop filters, these textures are not based on any imported graphics. Instead, the pattern is determined by mathematical algorithms.

Tiler Anarchy is very similar to Texture Explorer in layout and functions. The main difference between Tiler and TAE is that the Tiler's transform properties are locked to certain proportions. This is so the algorithm can repeat itself successfully. The Tiler is especially useful for 3D texture mapping and game design, since being able to create textures that repeat themselves seamlessly is important.

Edge Anarchy is a filter that's designed to create textured, distressed, or ornamental borders around images and text. You can use the materials you create in Texture Anarchy to manipulate the edges of images, adding color and texture, and distorting the image.
