recommend procedural texture editor/generator?

[1] Do you know of any that are free? ( Fine if it's for personal / educational use ).

It looks like blender2.5alpha2 has some, but it keeps crashing. ( I don't have experience in blender nodes -- maybe the stable 2.49 can do some?)
GIMP has a couple, but not much.



[2] OR: Do you recommend a reasonably priced program?

I've done some in Blender 2.49. That's handy because it's done in 3-D, so for instance you can have a 3-D object made out of marble, and its surface then gets unwrapped to make a 2-D texture that lines up correctly at the seams. The selection wasn't that great, but I understand you can download some more that people have made.
