Here are some Seamless Tiles for free usage...

Here are some seamless tiles that I made. Though I posted these in 3D Graphics, they are very useful in Xara Designer Pro 7 (etc.) as well!

PREVIEW PAGE

To use them in Xara, just pull one in and cut it to put it in the bitmap gallery. Then, when you have something that you want to use that texture, just choose Fill/Bitmap and choose the tile in the drop-down. Change Single Tile to Repeating Tile and then move one of the endpoints on the Fill Handles and sweeten to taste.

For using them in Blender, choose them on the Texture tab and don't forget to change the Repeating #, under Image Mapping.

Enjoy!

P.S. Would like to see if you make something cool with them. Free to use for any use whatsoever.

Cool James. I'll have a look. I'm always searching for textures for my stereogram work.

[ODdOnLifeItself]

You betcha, Gary!

Some of them look pretty cool... I think you'll find something you can use.

Rather than being rectangle based (though the tile IS rectangular), they are hexagonal based...so will be something different.

I look forward to seeing you make something with some of these!

By the way, you can also go HERE and Preview/Download the individual seamless tiles.

Peace

Very cool James,
Thank you

Very nice James! Thank you! You seem to have been having fun with one of the seamless tile softwares that were discussed in the dear Xara thread.

You're welcome, Larry

Glad you liked 'em.

Peace

Hello Frances,

Yes, I was using Repper (and Designer Pro 7) to make the Seamless Tiles. It's fascinating since it makes them in real-time from your Input Image, so you can move the Sampling Square and stop when it looks cool.

It's one of those mindless fun creative things.

Glad that you liked them!

Here's what I came up with using the tiles and the displacement (other thread). It was real fun to see it evolve. Thanks, James.



On top of the displacement texture I also used a specularity texture for the two walls.

Hello Guy,

Very, very good job, Guy!

The image not only looks aesthetically pleasing, it's enormously spacious looking.

As you can see, the Specularity and Displacement (and potentially Normal) Maps really make a strong difference in how dimensional things look.

I especially like that beehive wall on the right side. That's really neat!

ShaderMap is cool, eh?

Don't forget that the maps are (of course) editable and also that you can set a negative displacement value in order to invert which are the high vs. low (in height) portions of the mapped texture.

Take care

James
