    I was going to ask if there are any worth while seamless texture generators out there about equivelant to normal mapping with shadermap or crazybump. I seen seamlesstexturegenerator but it had terrible demo and from what I heard was not a true seamless generator... I use gimp right now but I was hoping for something a little better if possible. I have been having trouble finding any so I though Id ask the experienced masses.

    Filter forge is decent, but lets be clear, there is no photoshop plugin technically it launches into filterforge ;) they sort of over sell the photoshop part of it.

    Gimp has a "make seamless" plugin...it is free.

    Hello, new owner of http://www.seamlesstexturegenerator.com/ (I bought it from the original author this fall.) I totally agree the demo is awful and it needs a major overhaul, it doesn't work with Windows 10 yet, but this is why I purchased it so I could update it. I was wondering what you meant by it not being a "true seamless generator"?

    +1 for PixPlant.

    All others I've tried just alpha blend across the texture borders, some with a bit of cleverness, others with a plain static alpha ramp. PixPlant instead lets you select representative regions of an image, matches color and brightness between each one and then composes a completely new image from them.

    Gimp's resynthesize if used correctly can generate nice seamless textures.
