I use ImageMagick to create seamless textures. The Bash script below can be run on Linux or under Cygwin on Windows or on Mac OS/X in a terminal window. It requires a PNG image, Vertical.png, in /usr/local/lib/ - the image is available at http://www.flickr.com/photos/missyrestless/5493745720/ This script and images from the Wikimedia Commons were used to create the seamless textures in my SL Marketplace store. I'm not familiar with Filterforge but I will give it a try and see if it produces better quality seamless textures. #!/bin/bash # # mkseamless - make a texture seamless # The Vertical.png image is available at # http://www.flickr.com/photos/missyrestless/5493745720/ # # Usage: mkseamless filename [filename ...] # # Places the output 512x512 seamless texture(s) in a subdirectory "Seamless" # # Where are the horizontal and vertical region files located ?
