Advice on avoiding seams between blocks in a block building game

Hello, I'm creating a game where players build tanks by putting together blocks.

I am creating the blocks in ProBuilder and Blender, and texturing them in Substance Painter.

I would like to add some variation to the blocks, and I am adding details using the normal and height maps for the material. However, this gives a tiling effect when the same block types are put next to each other, and a bit of a noticeable seam between the blocks.

I read that ArtEngine can help with seams, but I have not used it before. I've just spent time learning how to use Blender and Substance Painter, so before I jump into learning ArtEngine I wonder if someone could tell me if it would help with my tiling and seams issue?

Thank you for the help!

 

Hello,

Thank you for the information.

I tried a different approach, which seems to work. For anyone in a similar situation, I decided to make a triplanar mapping shader, which projects a texture from all sides over the object as a whole. This meant that all the blocks were covered in a single texture, so the seams between them did not show up. I used Unity's shader graph to do this, as it has a triplanar node ready to use.

However, I think your suggestion will be useful for me for other aspects of my project, so thank you again
