I need to create a texture with seamless pattern from a download image


Recommended Posts

I have downloaded a texture image from textures.com to create a texture in VW.
After creating a texture using the downloaded image. While applying on the model the texture is not applied seamlessly on the surface. Kindly, May I know how i can create create a texture seamlessly by importing the download image?

Making this texture seamlessly tile will take some effort outside of Vw using either Photoshop or some other similar image editing software. Personally I would recommend finding a different, better texture which tiles seamlessly instead of spending time trying to fix this one.
 

But, if you want to fix it, here are the general issues with it preventing tiling. [See my sketched annotations on your texture below]. 
1. The green lines show the texture grain converging towards the top, so to fix this you’ll need to correct the parallax in Photoshop (or other).

2. The image is dark on the left side and is light on the right side, which again you’ll need Photoshop (or other) to correct.

I can get the image to repeat seamlessly using the AI Visualizer and importing the image as a style, using walnut veneer paneling for the prompt.  But the light and dark parts of the image are obvious when repeated.

Ive been using Chat GPT with the prompt " create a seamless, tileable texture from this uploaded image." Im getting excellent results!

I'd be interested to know how your ChatGPT textures compare to if you make them in Gemini Nano Banana?

Those are great quality and it's also great that they are a free resource.

 

Searched for "walnut" and got zero hits.

 

The VW AI Visualizer actually does seamless, this uses SDXL with "tiling" on (uses a special circular VAE to do it).  I know with this option on the image results are sometimes not good enough. 

 

The new models do not seem to have this capability built-in, despite being able to do many more great things with higher quality.
