RE: textur map problem with a sharp edge with sphere

Hi   I'm not quite sure what you intend, but if the problem is getting a seam you can always offset your image horizontally in Photoshop and clonestamp the problematic seam away, then offset back to original.   A texture can be prepared for spherical projection by using Photoshops Polar Coordinates filter. Clone layer and select it. Do Polar with rectangular -> polar. Select a feathered centerimage from the background and merge it with Layer 1. Do Polar again with polar -> rectangular. Rotate the canvas 180° and repeat for the lower part of the picture. Stretch Layer 1 and Layer 2 (the two spherical halves) into a single image and merge all. Doing from memory here, probably better to look up proper tutorials on the net :)   To make VSL noise repeatable the obvious solution is a triangle curve attached to i.e. the x input. Problem here is a noticeable flipped noise. This can be avoided by activating 4th dimension and inputting it from the x-coordinate with an offsetted triangle curve (instead of the commonly used time input for the 4th parameter). Posted something like this earlier (seamless noise), if none of this makes any sense :)   Karl -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matthias Kappenberg Sent: Tuesday, August 01, 2006 9:06 AM To: user-list@light.realsoft3d.com Subject: Re: textur map problem with a sharp edge with sphere Stupid question: Is the texture tileable?   Matthias ----- Original Message ----- From: Frank Brübach To: user-list@light.realsoft3d.com Sent: Monday, July 31, 2006 11:00 AM Subject: textur map problem with a sharp edge with sphere dear rs friends, I have tried to mix some textures (texture map/environment map) for a sphere and some sds capsules (a kind of water textures), but I have got always this sharp edge in the middle of the sphere (I have imported a sky.jpg) as texture. I guess its a question of using the uv maps or the uv coordinates to avoid this. I never used it before. Does anybody knows how to make a "round" texture for the sphere? O.k., its just a beginner question, but I have started at saturday with mixing textures and colors and using the texture map, so my first steps ;-), best regards, Frank Brübach Der WEB.DE SmartSurfer hilft bis zu 70% Ihrer Onlinekosten zu sparen!    http://smartsurfer.web.de/?mc=100071&distributionid=000000000071   This e-mail and any attachment are confidential and may be privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure.
