Texture Seams Created 20 years ago2004-05-30 17:29:11 UTC by esmajor

Okay, viewing the map in the vault, someone said it's obvious where the seams are in 6the texture... how do I fix that?

Read atom's Custom Textures tutorial?

It doesn't say how to solve seams

offset then blend, then clone, then blend again?

i dunno how to do that in cobbles.

He says to rotate the texture four times around the centerpoint.

All that would do is take it back to where it was.

Making textures seamless doesn't go with just blending, or rotating, or whatever. Some will do but for the better textures you waste the whole texture. Use a program that has a tiling option (Wally), look at the seams, use offset on it and tweak those seams in other programs. It depends on the texture how you would fix those seams. Copy'n'pasting bricks if it's a brick texture can help, going over it with a smudge tool, repainting little parts, it's all up to you. After a while, you'll get some experience with it.

After all, I found texturing to be much more dependant on experience and tryal'n'error than mapping. It's no exact rules that make a texture look good. It's having a feeling for it I guess...

holy flippin flak-jakkets!

Try the Gimp (www.gimp.org), it has filters for seam-removal. There's a Windows version linked on that site, it's primarily for Linux.

Site cannot be found - it keeps coming up with my default search page...

Try again later.
