• Welcome, SURFACE - 13 July 2026

  Introducing GRIEFS SURFACEFormerly known as GRIEFS Texture Ripper, SURFACE represents the next evolution of the project.As the software has grown beyond texture extraction into a complete material authoring and processing application, the original name no longer reflected its broader capabilities.

• 2026.4 Projection matrices and exporting fixes. - 13 March 2026

  Hi there,The introduction of tangent warping accidentally made the projection matrices worse for the rest of the crop region creation and export pipeline.In this patch we address that by making sure each crop manipulation feature works properly together and restoring the previous functionality of auto-clockwise point sorting. This had to be done in exporting pipeline as well to get visually consistent results.Thank you for reporting this issue! Your feedback helps us improve things for everyone and make sure we deliver the best experience possible.– Gabe PS: Linux build is planned to be in the next patch! ːsteamhappyː

  2025 has been a tough year for many people in the game industry, and I felt that impact too. But difficult years also open unexpected doors.
