baking tiled materials in blender

Ruz

so it seems you can't bake out procedural texture so they tile in photshop, which is a real pain

anyone have a solution

here is a normal map I baked from the brick texture, but as you can see it does not tile properly, can't really be arsed

to go through and fix a whole bunch of textures

Its really dumb, because the  procedural material tiles perfectly inside blender

Ruz

so this kind of works, but the diffuse is a different matter as the bricks are half dark/half light when tiled. will try and offset them somehow

if you look really carefully there are a few artefacts where they tile, but maybe close enough

You might be better off baking textures from tiled highpoly meshes. Then you can be sure the meshes along the edge are perfectly duplicated. 

Ruz

ok, cheers will have a look at that, maybe even use other programs to create my textures.

not really looked at the high poly mesh route yet, maybe jsut trying to avoid it:)

Here's some older stuff about it. Haven't updated this page in forever, sorry if broken links.
