New feature idea - Seamless tile generator

[handrawn]

no need for an example I am sure that what you say is correct in itself

lets hope any implementation is straight forward

If you want the best seamless tile maker check out http://repperpatterns.com/ - yest you do have to pay for it but you will be amazed by what it can do.

Looks very neat!
It however only works with single objects, only supports Bitmaps ( no Vector-Data) and it only saves with 8Bit per Channel.
The last makes it pretty much useless for 3D Work.
Also there's no options to make a non tiling Input seamless to begin with...
One is limited to its caleidoscopic auto-tiling using simple Blur.

if you want more than 8bits per channel that rules xara out from the word go does it not.....

No, apart from the fact that writing them is not currently supported.
16 Bit were only required as an option for Greyscale-Imagery anyway.
Patterned Output in 8 Bit such as also written by Repper, Pattern-Studio
or Seamless Factory is fine to Paint Colour on 3D Objects.
But one can not properly use the same Bitdepth for Deformation.

Thanks, Christine

That's a great program! Was lost in it for at least an hour.

So great for seamless tiles for 2D and 3D patterns...

Since the tile is seamless, it always wraps perfectly, has no edges, and can be virtually any resolution... WOW!



I'll be buying this one!

Thanks, again

Well, to round things up - there's still one left unmentioned (Substance Designer by Allegorithmic).
Still, none of them does allow Vector and Bitmap Tiling as it was pretty easily possible with Xara. The closest App is Pattern-Studio but it is no longer in development.
