Stripes
Stripes is a Texture Painting application for the Ptex file format. Stripes can open, paint and save Ptex files, and it provides a multi-layer painting support that takes full advantage of Ptex. For example, a new layer can be created just for a few Ptex patches.
Stripes is the code name of a suite of plug-ins and applications developed to add Ptex support in 3dsmax and soon in Maya.
The Stripes project includes 3 plug-ins for 3dsmax, and a Texture Painting application
Ptex Shaders
Ptex Shaders is a set of plug-ins and shaders for 3ds Max, Maya and mental ray that provide rendering support of Ptex files in 3ds Max and Maya.
Ptex Shaders for 3ds Max
The Ptex suite for 3ds Max includes a modifier that applies automatic UVs to a PolyMesh object, and a texture plug-in that can render Ptex files. It also includes a mental ray shader for support of Ptex files in mental ray.
Ptex Shaders for Maya
The Ptex suite for Maya includes a node that applies automatic UVs to a PolyMesh object, and a texture/2d node that can render Ptex files. It also includes a mental ray shader for support of Ptex files in mental ray.
Ptex Tools
Ptex Tools is a 3ds Max utility that creates Ptex files, bakes 3ds Max textures into an existing Ptex file, and exports objects with Ptex textures in a 3D format that Stripes can read.
