Apples Posts: 109 Filters: 37	I've been working on a filter that needs to generate a fine pattern. I've checked the seamless option, but the pattern shows some ugly border repeat, it is not really perfectly seamless. I've tried a noise distortion on top, but small amounts don't help and with large amounts the initial fine block effect is lost. Can anyone help me in this, so that the ugly border isn't that noticeable? May The Forge Be With You

Apples Posts: 109 Filters: 37	Thanks for your reply. I tried your suggestion, unfortunately still an ugly border. Anyone else a suggestion? I appreciate it very much. May The Forge Be With You

My next suggestion would be to change variations, change size (only by 1 or 2), and to change the formula. That would bug me too, but try to continue on with the filter without worrying about it, you might not even see it in the result! Roses are #FF0000 Violets are #0000FF All my base are belong to you.

Apples Posts: 109 Filters: 37	Thank you for your replies. Yes, the repeating "stretched" pixels, not the white border, maybe I didn't explain well enough. It's not only happening with the cell noise but also with other noises with the same inputs like in the screenshot. Unfortunately it's very noticable in the result and when I apply it to uvmapping it's like there is a seam in clothing where there shouldn't be a seam. It's sure is possible it is a bug, but maybe there is a way to obscure the stretch? Formula change and variantion change do not improve. Noise distortions unsuccesful, I even tried with offset cell source and other pattern in the u/v inputs. But I loose the effect completely. Clueless May The Forge Be With You

Betis The Blacksmith Posts: 1207 Filters: 76	Well, that's terrible. We should have an admin coming in here and whatnot, but I guess they're all busy with V2 stuff. Roses are #FF0000 Violets are #0000FF All my base are belong to you.
