How would you create this texture?

[ivanjay]

I use a lot of Corian and Zodiaq by Dupont with my mental ray 3ds max design renderings.

 

However, if I use a bitmap it tiles and just does not look right.

 

How would you go about creating this material? I am playing with cellular mapping but it just quite isn't working right.

Tile 4 images in Photoshop. Use clone tool to repair seams. Offset 50% height and width. Repair any seams with clone tool. Done.

 

Or use something like ImageSynth (http://www.luxology.com/imageSynth/) among others.

I was hoping to not use photoshop because that is far from my skills.... Maybe I should check into that imagesynth program. That will remove the seams from textures? Looks pretty cool on their web site.

CGTextures has a very similar tileable map here: http://www.cgtextures.com/texview.php?id=9690&PHPSESSID=17a462679ac26c5c403e0ae2a3d37205

IMO best way to create seamless tileable texturemaps http://www.gfxartist.com/features/tutorials/740

Very easy and no fiddling with clone tool.
