Force Seamless

Free ANYthing is, by definition, NON seamless. This is why the FF staff initially made it so the "Seamless" checkbox would gray out when any component that broke seamless was included anywhere in the filter.

Because there might be a few cases where a non seamless component might be useful in a seamless filter the FF crew simply removed the restriction. This doesn't change how any of these components behaves, it simply lets the components that DO act properly in seamless mode function seamless when mixed with others.

Good morning everyone,

Thanks for the help KGtheway2B & Totte.
I will have to work more with this filter, as I really like the look.

Any help, is always very much appreciated.

Have a GREAT day!

Aha - I have a filter (cammo net) where I use the free gradient to add some extra to particles and that one didn't go seamless until B2.007, maybe you fixed that in 2.007...

Waiting for what?

?

Are you asking the Free Gradients to be seamless when you've created a condition that makes them not tile? That's like asking a light bulb to make a room darker, it doesn't make any sense: the free components are designed to work this way, they're "free" from the constraints of the image bounds (i.e. they don't pay attention to the edges, thus they have no way of knowing where the "edge" is to tile from).

Here's an image that shows the seamless components working perfectly alongside a free gradient. When you use the Seamless Tile override (It's in the menus of the filter editor) you can see that the perlin noise is working fine and tiles perfectly while the free gradient is just doin' it's thang. This is the intended use of the seamless override. If, for some odd reason, I wanted the gradients to act in this manner (regardless of image size) I could use this filter.

Hey KG,

Thanks for your help.

Have a GREAT day!
