Hi

Is there a way in Bryce to create surface and volume PROCEDURAL (DTE) materials and textures with SEAMLESS repeat tiling?

May be any other software?

Thanks for your help.

in a word;probably yes (hey! that's 2 words!..;) How to?- I'm not sure. Seamless, I thought, was the concept of not making it look like it's reapeating. Have I misunderstood? Stay tuned for more helpful answers below this one.

there's 2 kinds of textures; one is made using the DTE (Deeply Tangled Excersize) settings, the other is by using a texture from outside. Every DTE tutorial I've started has made my eyes glaze over in about 3 screens, but that's me.

I must be missing the point of the question.
AFAIK, all DTE procedurals are automatically seamlessly tiled.

Friends don't let friends use booleans.

Yes, all DTE procedurals are automatically seamlessly tiled, but it isn't seamless REPEAT tiling.

Thanks.

Try that. See if that works for you.

I know, my question wasn't very clear so may be this will help:

PROCEDURAL SEAMLESS REPEAT TILING

REPEAT TILING: All tiles are identical.

SEAMLESS: No visible (color, structural, etc.) borders between neighboring tiles, natural organic transition from one tile to another.

PROCEDURAL: Tiles are DTE based, not pixel based images.

With Repeat Tiling option in different projection modes I got symmetric (mirror) tiling, repeat tiling with clear "seams" or no tiling at all.

And I need this procedural tiling to be "REPEAT" AND "SEAMLESS".

Any other ideas?

Thanks for your help!
