Most filters in Filter Forge automatically support seamless tiling which gives the resulting image the ability to be repeated, or tiled, without visible seams. This may be necessary when the image is used as a web background, a desktop wallpaper or a texture in a 3D rendering or a game engine. To turn seamless tiling on, check the Seamless Tiling checkbox on the Settings tab in Filter Controls.
Here are the key facts about how seamless tiling is implemented in Filter Forge:
- The Seamless Tiling checkbox is a global parameter – all filters have it.
- Seamless tiling doesn't make the original image seamless, it affects only the procedurally-generated parts of the filter output.
- Seamless tiling works for both square and non-square images.
- For discrete filters with Seamless Tiling turned on, the Size slider moves in discrete increments.
- The Seamless Tiling checkbox is disabled for filters that use non-seamless components.
- The Seamless Tiling checkbox may be disabled for filters that override its default behavior.
