Blending tiles of untiled wood texture with UVW Randomizer
John.McWaters:
I have a wood texture that in not tileable, and I'm trying to see if I can the the UVW Randomizer's blend feature to help blend the edges where the tiles come together (where'd you typically get a hard edge b/w tiles).
Even if 'Randomize each tile' is checked, you'll still see hard edges—However, if there's a way to set the size of the initial map to say 5'x5' but have the tiles be 4'x4', the blending could occur with that 1' overlap of the textures, thereby obscuring the hard edge. Does anyone know if there's a good way to do this?

Can you please show an example of the texture you are trying to randomize?

Hi George, I've attached a sample texture.
Avi:
Hi,
I just recorded a quick tutorial showcasing how you can use the UV randomizer along with the sample you provided.

I hope this helps.
Regards,
Avi
John.McWaters:
Thank you Avi.
Before you applied the Floor Generator modifier, the UVW randomize tiles were random in 360 degrees, but it looks like after the floor gen modifier was added, the direction of the wood grain oriented to the floor boards. Is that an effect from the floor gen modifier?
