how shud i tile this?

[chow choppe]

Hi

USING 3dsmax and PHOTSHOP

 

i am trying to render a flooring pattern

i think i shud make a tileable texture in photoshop and then tile it but i am not able to figure out where shud the seam be.

problem is that if i make use tile as the rectangular area (see image below) then i face tiling problem in areas marked with red arrows.

 

 

 

So please help.

 

thanks

Photoshop has an "offset" filter that makes this kind of job much easier.

 

Give that a try.

Would need to see more of the original since there is an odd flip in the tiles on the left.

 

But if you go one more bay, you can get something pretty close that will work...

The triangle unit is inconsistently constructed. If this is on purpose, you need to figure out how its asymmetry repeats. If this is an accident, correct the construction and the tile you suggested should work.

I would say go larger. Youn need a handful of tiles to make sure you don't see the repeating pattern in the wod grain. The yellow square will tile perfectly. at long as your floor board colors are fairly consistent.
