There are lots of sliders to create custom textures based on the original factory defaults and you can pick up the colors from your composition or choose whatever colors you like. Below is just a partial listing of the factory defaults for the brick wall effect.
Below are examples of the basic effects and took seconds to create.
You can create seamless tiles and there is also an option to allow the texture to go outside of the selection area. This is great for things like hair and fur where you want those things to hang off the selected area.
The filters run quickly so you aren't waiting for long periods of time while the effects render.
For the novice and home user this is great as you can pick what you want and render it. For the designer and professional Eye Candy 5 Textures will save you time but being able to generate just the texture you need in a very small amount of time.
Take those textures and create bump maps and you can wrap your 3d objects with them as well.
This is a really great product that is easy to use with just enough sliders to create some wicked textures but not so many that you get bogged down in the science of sliders that you give up.
