I would like to welcome new discussion about tileable texture and how to make it possible with no "X" or "V" mirror on the edge.

I bought Canon ZR85. It is very powerful lens and rapid focus. It can capture 1024 by 768 with macro zoom close as 1/8 inch distance between object and camcorder and it stores the images in SD 256MB card (556 images). Almost a grand dollar in total for it.

The brick or wavy hair is most difficult part to create seamless tileable texture. Pellites, straight wood fibers, smooth material like metal, spots, or rocks are tileable texture.

If you have any tips you would like to share please post away! :)

Search for Photoshop tutorials, there are a lot of them, concerning this matter. All of them concern painting away the tell tale edges of the original photo, so that needs some Photoshop skills The enclosed one says enough, I think

If you are interested. Media Chance has a nice application called PhotoSEAM for creating seamless tileable textures. Here's a blurb from their site. "PhotoSEAM is an unique, special purpose full featured image editor for creating seamless photo realistic textures and tiles from digital photography, or from scratch." Keith
