Here is a great Wood texture generator. http://www.spiralgraphics.biz/ww_overview.htm
It is very easy to use, and can make textures up to 3000x3000.

That's pretty cool!! Their other texture tool looks good too, good find 94

Are AutoDesk Mudbox 2015 or 2014 necessary for the Mudwalker x and Reducto?!Because well it says free for students but Im no student and I just want to have acces to Reducto and Mudwalker not Mudbox 2015 which isn't free...Is it free If I'll make an account for Autodesk :P ?!

So not for Reducto, no. Yes for Mudwalker X. And it works specifically with Mudbox 2014, not newer versions.

Now, Autodesk will let you sign up for the student version, whether you are a student or not. They look the other way, because they figure you will eventually buy their software, and giving you access to it for a few years will make you dependant on it.

There's also free 3d modelling/texturing and also a rendering software:Art of Illusion=http://www.artofillusion.org/
And Of course famous Daz3D...3d modelling/animation software but I wouldn't recommend this software for gaming development because it has several issues with UE4 and also it's not that of a great modelling program if you're going to export the models anyways but it's still a powerfull software for animating/posing etc. so I still wanted to recommend it to those Who didn't hear about it which I'll doubt that because it's pretty famous and advertised but it's still a helpful software so:https://www.daz3d.com/home
Well,like I said before you might better go with something like Blender/Sculptris/Make Human/K-3D for free instead of Daz3D.But it's still one of the best softwares out there that you can get for free.

You can't expect most things to be free as soon as you hit the commercial stage. People want to get payed for their work, and the fact that they provide the tools for free for personal use is already a nice.
World Machine's price (99$-249$-1500$, depending on the version) is fair in my opinion for what you get.
But if you really don't want to spend money on that or you can't, then try L3DT's free version which includes commercial use (note: haven't tried it myself): http://www.bundysoft.com/L3DT/
Another generator I found is Lithosphere, I never heard of it but it looks alright: http://lithosphere.codeflow.org/

L3DT's free version is pretty pathetic though...Seriously I don't even really like L3DT...I would prefer World Machine,Vue or Terragen and I don't know...Geomorph if I had Linux...

Is anyone know that AwesomeBump or InsaneBump is compatible with 64 bit Windows?!I searched but it says it's for 32 bit binaries...Would that be problem for 64 bit system?!

[BillDStrong]

99%* of 32 bit Windows binaries run on 64bit Windows. 1%* of 64bit binaries run on 32bit Windows.

* may be off by 1%
