Tiling textures with Gimp... - Dr_Davenstein - 06-28-2006 I decided to give this Gimp program a shot because I read that it's excellent for creating tiling textures... used for tiling 3D terrain maps, walls, etc... Anyway, this was my first attempt at using it. I think it looks ok, except for a few things. What do you guys think? btw: Does anyone know the rules for using things like this? I took the main image from some random web site and modified it to be tileable. Tiling textures with Gimp... - KiZ - 06-28-2006 Looks good! I never get how they make some tileable textures. Some of them are actually kind of freaky how good they are. I saw a fruitloops tileable texture that was amazing. Tiling textures with Gimp... - Anonymous - 06-28-2006 Yes it does look good, I tested it tiling it on my desktop =) I don't know about the legalities... but I will say this: This is definitely an example of a picture where .jpg compression is superior =) 440~ kb to like 50~ kb, hehehe Tiling textures with Gimp... - DrV - 06-28-2006 But JPEG is not lossless! Everybody hates JPEG artifacts... Bah, you're right, though - JPEG is designed for photographs, PNG is not. Tiling textures with Gimp... - Deleter - 06-28-2006 well it looks like its streched verticallly, but otherwise nice job, I like gimps tile-ify thing too, its great. Tiling textures with Gimp... - Dr_Davenstein - 06-29-2006 Actually, I didn't use a tile-ify, thing. I did follow this tutorial though... http://www.highpoly3d.com/writer/tutorials/tileable/seamless.htm Also, I think the original image was kinda stretch looking. about jpg vs. png... I saved it as png because I thought someone might want to use the texture for a game or something. It does look better as png. Tiling textures with Gimp... - Deleter - 06-29-2006 haha, then all the power to you, I'm one of those really bad artists who needs all the help he can get. Heck as if I could make a tile larger than 32x32 tileable. :wtnod2: Tiling textures with Gimp... - Deleter - 07-03-2006 wow, thanks for posting that link, I just tried it out and produced a not too shabby texture...but most importantly I now know how to make better seemless textures. no more 32x32 limit...mwahahahahaha.... :lol:
