Preserved Topic: getting image to tile (Page 1 of 1)

how do i get an image to tile perfectly? i have some grass i drew, but it just won't tile right.

Use the offset filter, in the "Other" menu. You can then touch up the visible edges, and make the texture blend. Another neat trick is to create an image size of 128x128, or other greater multiples of 2. Render some clouds. The clouds will automatically tile. This is good for a base texture, etc.

enjoy.

ive got PSP7 so i can't use clouds or offset. But i think i know how offset works by looking at handson.

I couldnt find the tutorial i was looking for in particular, but heres one that should be easy to translate into Paint Shop... http://www.eyeball-design.com/gfx_tutorial04.htm

I do mine a little different, using the stamp tool in photoshop.. it makes it a little easier to blend things. Good luck.
