Step 1:
Open a photo in your image application.
Create a rectangular selection which is around 256 x 256
pixel large and copy the selection to a new image. This
is the image part which will be used to create a seamless
texture.

Step 2:
Run HyperTyle and press the Reset
button to remove any previous settings. Choose "No Texture"
from the the Main Effects combo box and make sure that
the Texture Map combo box is set to "Colored".

Step 3:
Switch to the Surface tab sheet
and choose one of the Mirror Effects. Don't use the first
four ones (Right, Left, Top, Button), because they only
make the image seamless in one direction. In this example
we have chosen "NW".

|
|
|
|
|
Step 4:
Use the Horizontal and Vertical
sliders to adjust the effect.

Variation 1:
For this variation the "Cross
Blend" Mirror effect was chosen, the Red and Green sliders
from the Adjust tab were moved to the right and the Gamma
slider value from the Adjust tab was decreased.
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
Variation 2:
This carpet pattern was created
by using the "Quad B" Mirror effect with both sliders
set to the highest values and setting the Grain slider
from the Adjust tab to 118.
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
Variation 3:
This variation was done with
the "Cross Bottom" Mirror effect, the Horizontal slider
set to its highest value and the Vertical slider set to
a middle value.

| TIP: This tutorial
shows you how to create seamless textures with the help
of the "No Texture" mode. However, this mode doesn't let
you apply the three "Seamless" mirror effects. To
be able to use the Seamless mirror effects, you have to
save the image as a BMP after Step 1, open it in HyperTyle
and apply one of the three Seamless effects. Unfortunately
there's no easy way to save the texture that was made seamless
this way, because the image size of the texture has changed.
So you will have to apply the Seamless effect everytime
you open that texture file. A future version of HyperTyle
will probably have a "Save Texture" button which will let
you save the texture directly from within HyperTyle. |
