Create Zbrush Tiling Sculpt

Autocon

Now this seems like a funny question to me as I cant believe I dont know the answer nor have I see it asked or really any tutorials on it. Maybe I just missed them because im blind.

Lets say I sculpt a rock formation on just a simple plane and want the sculpt to tile for normal map purposes. How would you go about doing that? Are there any simple zbrush tricks to do so or would I have to try and do this in PS? If it is in PS how would you create a tiling normal map from an untiling image without ruining all your detail?

Sorry if this is something there are tuts on, I just haven't seen any and if you could link me to them I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

Internets. I love them.

It's called wrap mode. And I quote:
"Wrap Mode allows the artist to create tileable geometry. As the artist sculpts off the edge of the left side of a plane, the stroke will continue on to the right side."

I've gotten some pretty rad results with this, and it's fun to use. Enjoy.
