I can do a good range of textures, have a nice photoshop experience and all. - have a decent digi camera too so I can get nice effect layers on my cool textures, and all.
I just can't make em seamless AND look cool at the same time, so.. HEEELP!!

It's easy! Just download Texture Studio (which I have released for free):
http://www.alsbonsai.com/john/texturestudio.zip
It not only makes textures seamless, but corrects for perspective (for example, if you take a picture of a flat surface at an angle, it will straighten it out).
... or are you reffering to something else?

I think we're talking about the same thing here. I gotta check out if it has any real seamlessness functions tho ; ) The perspective change looks cool tho, so I might keep it just for that too =)

Hello,
Looks great John, I imagine this will be very useful for a lot of us. Good seamless textures are pretty hard to come-by.
For the benefit of everyone else, I though I might mention that John's ‘Texture Studio’ now has a home of sorts on his project page in the wiki:
http://www.bundysoft.com/wiki/doku.php?id=projects:johnj#texture_studio
If you would like to set up a similar page (or pages) for your own project(s), but don't really know how all this wiki stuff works, please send me a mail or private message and I'll get you started.
Cheers,
Aaron.

Looks great!
(There's a downlink for the source code as well on that wiki page, but the URL is the same as for the program itself.)

Thx! Brain currently in Delphi mode, but might get around to try out Blitz3D one of these months...

Q-dad: Blitz3D is nice for games and 3D stuff, but for things like this, it's probably not the best choice (I probably should have used C++ to make Texture Studio a "proper" windows application, but I didn't want to have to impliment an OpenGL rendering system (which would be needed for fast hardware-accelerated zooming like there is now) so I just used Blitz3D which was handy).

Thanks for the link and for making this available John. This is going to be very handy. It's now in my "tools I can't live without" list.

I have been using MuRa's seamless texture plugin that is free and quite good.
The site is at:
http://www.geocities.com/murakuma/
It is a very good plugin I think as well, and yours JohnJ will work great hand in hand with his I think. I will have my programmer look at the source John as well. WOOT many cheers to yaz....
Side note, Hope you 2 have U know what still turned on

There's also texture assets that you can pay for if you're looking for a quick and professional fix (or in case you wanna avoid the massive headaches of seamless tiling).
EDIT: After reading your other posts, I think I'll recount this and tell you to keep donating!!!

heres a great way to create textures
you have 30 days trial period so create as many as you are going to need in that time unless you have £150 to spare
http://www.filterforge.com/
its a photoshop plugin.
it took me about half an hour to figure it out, interface is very easy.
and theirs a lovely tickbox button that says
"make this texture seemless"
hope it helps
