Making tileable texture from pictures.

Hi all,

Just wanted to share this with you.

I have been looking for a way to create tileable texture from digital camera pics.
I could not manage to get anything usable with photoshop but eventualy I found the following software that do an excellent job and for only a few bucks. I personnally will test it for a few more days and I seriously think about buying it, it saved my day :)

Claude-Alain,

I have also looked at:
texture maker
and
STile

I used STile on a digital picture. Worked ok. Might help you.

XFaderis pretty good at tiling, although it's US$25.

I use Photoshop 7 and get seamless tileable textures with no problem. I found several tutorials on the net, and I have a couple books that go through the process with Photoshop.
I've also tried Texturemaker, and it is even easier to make them, although Photoshop can do a lot more things overall.

Well Willbkool photoshot allow you to do most of the job that's true. But I found photoSeam easyer to use as it present you with the exact tools you need to do the job.
I am not a photoshop/gimp specialist so I have a tendency to go for the easy way on the artistict side.

PaintShopPro 8.0 also does tiling.
