[solved] Transform 2D node not tiling
vertex
Hey All,
Teaching myself some substance (killer program) and following along with one of Allegorithmics tutorials.
At around this time in the vid he throws a 2D transform on a clouds and talks about tiling.
Now, it tiles within the initial 0-1 square fine, but if you mash space and look at the tiling when the texture is used as a tiling texture this doesn't tile at all.
So, my question - Is there a way to make this tile that I am just having a brain fart and missing? I know I can use the 'make it tile'-node but thats an additional node and for performance reasons (I know this doesnt make much of a difference for learning but for future reference) if theres just a setting I cant find then the node is superfluous.
[EDIT:] After following further down the tutorial, I got to the 18min mark after its blended back in as a mask, and the effect of the mask is random enough that you dont notice its not tiling (whether I have a make-tilable in or not doesnt make much of a difference)
But I think that is just because of the nature of this specific mask. Its essentially masking off random lines in a random way. If I was to use this method on say a perlin noise and use the transformed noise to generate my inital heightmap, it wouldnt tile - which is more what my question related to.. I think.
/end noob train of thought

Use the safe transform instead (available in the library), is should help you.
