[Award Winner] Tutorial on how to create seamless textures out of anything

[johnvanvliet]

The Gimp has come a long way in since 2008

"make seamless" is ,and has been, a default part of the program

open a image
go to " Filters / Map "
and click on "Make Seamless"
( original image from Post #2 )

this option has been here for many YEARS it is not new

or
build the "resynthesizer " plugin ( builds just fine using MinGW on windows)
http://www.logarithmic.net/pfh/resynthesizer
https://github.com/bootchk/resynthesizer

and this has a opting to make a NEW image that is tileable
Filter / map / resynthes
and select the option to
" make horizontally tileable "
and
" make vertically tileable "
( original image from Post #2 )

using a bigger "Neighborhood size ( 90 default is 30) "

That's an excellent way to deal with the problem - especially when bespoke texturing tools are so very expensive these days.
