Rust on spaceship

[StrappingYoungLadd]

there should be no seams between your textures if you made them repeatable. keep it simple.

On a side note, why would you put rust on a spacecraft? Rust occurs when a metal surface oxidizes, ie, comes in contact with oxygen and moisture. Not much of that in space. Unless the spacecraft spent a good amount of time in a planet's atmosphere. I'd probably concentrate on adding dirt instead of rust to make it look more believable.

The "gogo clone stamp" step is to remove the horizontal and vertical seems, got it. Now, we want to make sure that the outside edges and corners are unaltered as much as possible, right?

This is correct, you would only be removing the horizontal and vertical seams. I was assuming he would find this out once he offset a 2nd time as i said in my post.

On another note, if you feel ambitious and want to try an alternative technique, you could try this.

I have found it works well, and is much faster. However, there are times when one might work better than the other, or a combination.... you get the point. Good Luck and happy painting :)
