Super Awesome Tiling Texture Creation From Photo Technique

Written by David Frampton @ 8:39 am, August 24, 2009

I don’t usually do video tutorials, or any tutorials at all really. But over the past few years I have experimented with a bunch of different methods for creating seamless tiling textures for use in computer graphics.

Many of them haven’t really produced good results, or have been fairly labor intensive. So when I finally developed a method that I felt worked really well, I always intended to share it. So here it is.

I use photoshop in the tutorial, but it should apply to any image editing software. If I subliminally stole this idea from someone then sorry! I’m pretty sure I came up with this myself though. It does seem kind of obvious too, so I wouldn’t be surprised if many other people already use this technique, but it took me a few years to figure out, so chances are it can help someone.

Hope it’s useful!
