Filter time again, making multi tile textures for use in Dundjinni (and many other mapping applications as well).<\/p>\n

So, how does a multi tile texture look?<\/p>\n

Here are three pieces of the ship-deck-2 texture, look closely how they look different but still have the same edges.<\/p>\n

These textures were created with the first generation of this filter, the following ship-deck-3 were created with a more refined version where the differences are even more visible.<\/p>\n

\"shipdeck-2-4e-a\"<\/a>\"shipdeck-2-4e-d\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"shipdeck-2-4e-f\"<\/a>\"shipdeck-2-4e-j\"<\/a><\/p>\n

But what is the theory behind this? How can you make something like this manually without a fancy filter? As you now can see, painting and fiddling with pixels isn’t my specialty, but this is a proven technique, here just simply explained, and this is what my filter does.<\/p>\n

You start with several pieces of a similar texture (in this case just two).<\/p>\n

\"wood1\"<\/a>\"wood2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then you decide which one is your “tile master”, and cut a hole in it like this:<\/p>\n

\"wood1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then you use a graphics program with layers (Photoshop, or in my case OmniGraffle), and put this frame over the other tiles, like this:<\/p>\n

\"wood1\"<\/a>\"woodmix\"<\/a>\"wood1\"<\/p>\n

See, they tile perfectly, and if I had been more of an artist, you would just notice that the center of the picture is different in the middle one, so they would look different, but still tile.<\/p>\n

I’ve just decided that tomorrow we’re gonna curt some maps.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
