Creating Seamless textures for use in


SketchUp
SketchUp has texture editing tools that make it easy to crop and edit textures. This
feature can help you to create seamless textures, and there are several cases where
you may want to do so:
Creating a repeating texture for a Google Earth model to remove occluding
objects like trees and cars.
Creating a repeating texture to reduce the file size.
Creating a seamless texture of a repeating pattern such as a brick, stone, or
carpet.
In the first two instances, you'll probably want to start within SketchUp. Import
your image as a texture (File > Import > [Image Type] > Use as texture).
Context click on the texture and select Texture > Edit texture image to open
your texture with your default image editor. Depending on the image editor, you
can offset the image to the center, then use a heal tool to cover the seams. If
you're using Photoshop, check out the Seamless Tiles Tutorial () (English Only)
from CadTutor.
