In this new quick tip Gleb Alexandrov shares a hidden gem in the Gimp - how to turn your textures into seamless tiles with one click.
Gled writes:
Seamless textures, also known as “tileable” textures, is an old but very important card in a digital artist’s deck. When done right it’s a great way to get lots of detail cheaply compared to hand-painting complete textures and also in terms of computer memory. There are several methods for achieving seamlessness but with Gimp we can do this with a single click. Seriously!

I'm not sure how "hidden" this is, it's one of the first things I learned with it. :)
Very helpful! Thanks.
very useful tutorial thanks...
I didn't know about this, actually ... and during lunch I busted out a dozen textures. Took me longer to load Gimp than do this! Pretty awesome and useful!
nice,now all i have to do is remember it's there, haha. thanks. gotta start writing this stuff down.:)
A is for Awesome!
Krita has a mode where you can paint tiled textures and see it all update in realtime. It's called "wraparound mode" See it here with a screenshot:

Krita's "wraparound mode" let's you do this *and* see it tiled and updated in real time as you paint / edit. Take a look at the screenshot and post on their blog below:

Hey Gleb, :))
I'm participating in this blender community more than 2 years and I would like to say that your tutorials are one of the best I've ever seen, they are really good, not only as performance and end result but also as quick and clear learning materials. And I mean not only for our blender community but also in general for the 3d world. (I've previous experience with Cinema4d § 3Dmax.)
Thank you, and please keep going :)
Actually I will appreciate to see some tutorials made by you into a nature - theme. Some grass :), trees, waterfalls something like that! :)) Take care
Ivaylo
Thanks! Hopefully, there will be some nature-themed tutorial in the near future ;)
Thanks, I never knew it could be so easy!
