Making textures tiles with masks

JoshWilkinson

I have a texture I'm trying to make tile first with the texture offset (the old fashioned Photoshop way) and then with the clone tool. But it looks like when I duplicate my material, offset it, and then apply a white mask, the base color behaves as expected but the height, ao and normals pass through? Is there a way to prevent this in the blending modes?

I'm not sure what we are supposed to look for in the screenshot. Why is your fill layer set to PassThough?

Sorry, perhaps it was unclear. in the base texture shown above there is a concrete chunk with a smooth surface. In the normal and ao screens, the cracks from the layer underneath are blend through the original map, I'd prefer the layer on top to override the layer on bottom.

Here is another screen more thoroughly documenting my problem:

Oh and to answer your question about the fill layers and passthrough, the duplicated fill layer (fill layer 1 copy 1) is set to "normal", the top layer is just a regular, non-fill layer (layer 1) set to passthrough for cloning. You can tell which is a fill layer with the paint bucket icon

Each channel has its own blending mode. By the default the AO is in Multiply for example.
Here is how to can change them : https://support.allegorithmic.com/documentation/display/SPDOC/Blending+modes
