Texture Loopable (Seamless) High Quality Repeat Problem
Hello guys
I have high quality textures, which are perfectly loopable (seamless), but the problem is that when they are applied on the mesh, and looping, it looks that this texture is looped, it doesn't look high quality as the rest of the scene, it looks looped.
May i didn't explained correctly.
I have some textures which are seamless, and when looping it does not look the same textures repeated more time, but I have other few textures which looks repeated.
I don't know how to fix this, i tried bry cropping and remaking it seamless, but it still looks repeated.
I tried to make more uniform color (less color difference noticable) but it still look the same, and mess up the texture quality.
What should I do to fix this?
How can i make a PERFECTLY LOOPABLE SEAMLESS TEXTURE LOOP WHICH DOES NOT MAKE THE USER NOTICE THE REPEATIVE OF THE SAME TEXTURE??????
All ideas would be greately apprecitated?
Thanks.

the only way you can really get away with it is to break up the tiles with some overlay painting of a secondary texture.
there are some good tipps on how to achieve that
but if you want to achieve this without any tricks, only through your texture you need to keep things pretty uniform and balanced
the paint programm krita has a nice function where you can enable a wraparound function
with this your texture gets tiled and you can still paint on it.
so you can see how its looks tiled while painting, which is pretty awesome for tileable textures (it updates while you paint)

Scale of the texture can also play a part in noticing tiling. If you're trying to tile 4 bricks over a huge wall you'll notice it way more than if you had a texture with 50 bricks. In that case texture resolution could become a factor. But it's a give/take relationship.
well, technically thats true,
but you can achieve a result that doesnt look repeated
always depending on the material and viewing distance (and texture size you are using)
Usually this is a bad idea because you just end up with a really bland texture.
Back in 2002 that might have been a good trade-off, but it's not really the case any more. Like everybody else said, the best thing to do is blend multiple sets of textures together.
This also isn't strictly true. the contrast in a texture doesn't have to be stamped out. It just has to be made less noticeable. If anything you should aim to have things repeat in a way that seems natural.
I've done this in the past before there were such things as overlay textures. A handy filter in Photoshop to use is the high pass filter. This does tend to make images bland but it can be a useful indicator of which features of the photo need to be adjusted.
I meant stamp it out figuratively, like stamping out a fire, not like use the rubber stamp tool
