Tiling patterns in Mudbox

alexk

What's the workflow for dealing with tiling patterns, such as a brick wall, with Mudbox? Since it doesn't haven't the option that ZBrush has to help with tiling

I assume you should be able to do this with symmetry? Sadly you can't activate symmetry in 2 axis at the same time I believe so you gotta be careful at the corners.

not as good as zbrush but ya..

I do hope in the next mudbox they think about that

I did a few tiling normal map using mudbox in the past, but it was the hardcore way and it would obviously be way better with a proper tool:
Sculpt on a plane, export your displace in hdr, offset it in photoshop, displace a new plane, sculpt the missing parts.

i've simply guesstimated where i think detail needs to go to tile, and then offset and clone stamp the normals in ps, works as well as clone stamping anything else to make it tile

Sage

you can always do the tiling pattern in photoshop bring that to mudbox then use it as a stencil or guide.

Yea, I'd just offset the normal map in PS and fix the map in PS as well. No going back to mudbox.

I'll be glad to see if you manage to have proper high freq details in those maps without sculpting the edges once again.
