Also, I love how you make it sound simple to make the textures seamless I know from experience that is the part that always defeated me Thanx for sharing!
Making textures seamless ís simple with GIMP.
I've seen a couple of methods over the years and people recommending special software for that but not necessary.
In GIMP go to: LAYER -> TRANSFORM -> OFFSET.
And set the X, Y values at about 30%. Or whatever value you like.
Last step is to remove the edges with the clone stamp.
Gimp also has a function to make an image seamless in one step: FILTERS -> MAP -> MAKE SEAMLESS.
The disadvantage of this function is that it blurs the image way too much. Better not use it for creating textures.
Hello Uuff,
could you once you got the time upload 2-4 screenshots with that (easy) method, as my German version of Gimp got me all confused there.
?
Especially interested in the last step. By now I understood which function is which in my Kraut version, but would like to see it once done. Especially the part with smoothing it out. Also trying to dig out the tutorial you once sent me.
ATM finally trying to do my first seamless tex (
for fun only
).
Cheers
Tom

Plus most tutorials are written.
I try this first.
