Tile texture paint

Support Materials and Textures
1

Hello,

can someone help me? Does texture paint mode (or image paint tools in UV/image editor) with texture brush support tile function like using brush for sculpting? In sculpting tile function enables to treat the texture as a tiled image extended across the screen.

Such function would be very useful and welcomed in painting mode for brush painting with textures brushes.

I suppose it is already possible in Blender because it works with sculpting brush so why not with painting brushes. But I cannot solve how to set it up.

Thank you very much for help.

For painting a seamless tiling texture, while in texture paint mode, in the UV window, press C to get your tools, then press ‘wrap’ on your tool panel.

Modron, I am not sure whether you have understood me.

This is how tile texture brush (wood ring texture) works in Sculpt mode:

This is how the same texture brush works in painting mode:

And I need to paint texture just like tile brush for sculpting works, something like this “montage”:

Unfortunately it seems that Blender texture painting cannot work like this with texture brush even sculpting mode can. Strange?

instead of holding down the lmb, does it work if you just click once?

not a tile texture brush, just a wrap option. then whatever you paint, as you go off the edge of the canvas, it will wrap around to the other side of the image, thus making a smooth blend at the “seams” where the texture, when tiled onto the mesh, would normally be visible. http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Manual/Texture_Paint

There is possibility to use clone tool for texture painting. So this is some kind of work-around. But it is not optimal. You have to export procedural texture as a picture, than load it to UV editor and use clone tools. Quite complicated.:spin:
