This Free Open-Source Tool Makes Texture Extraction Easy
Textract lets you extract parts of images, fix their perspective, and export them as textures or atlases.
Created by Technical Artist Simon Sanchez, Textract is a standalone desktop app that makes it easy to extract and straighten textures from images. It lets you load PNG, JPG, JPEG, or BMP files, select areas to extract, like signs, product labels, or buildings, apply perspective correction, and then pack the results into a custom texture atlas or export them individually.
Textract started as a side project that artists worked on over the past few months and has now been released as a free, open-source tool. Textract has a simple two-panel workspace, and aside from fast perspective correction, there's also a one-click updater for new features and fixes.
Since the tool is built for speed, it also includes a handy shortcut cheat sheet to help users work more efficiently. You can find it here, along with more details about the project and a download link for Textract.
The developer plans to keep building on Textract in the future, so any thoughts, suggestions, or feedback are welcome. You might also be interested in Seamlessifier by Puck, which recently got its own Steam page:
