Hmm...I just downloaded tilegen and was hoping to find some help with
it's function. The scene is below, if you want to take a gander at it.
The problem I am having is that I want to tile the image (duh), but I
find that when I smooth the tiles, the seams still show quite well. I
believe this is because of the nature of the texture (rock, heh :). So
in a nutshell, is there a way, via TileGen or some other method, to have
Pov-Ray create tiled image without the seams?

Thanks for any help you can give,

#include "d:\visual\povray\include\TileGen\tilegen.mcr"

#declare Mortar =
texture{
 pigment{ color rgb .25 }
}

#declare Stone =
texture{
 pigment{ color rgb .65 }
 normal{ granite .65 }
}

#declare GraniteStone =
texture{
 crackle
  texture_map{
   [0.00 Mortar ]
   [0.10 Stone ]
  }
}

light_source{
 <0, 0, -50>
 color rgb 1
}

#declare tile_size = <3, 3>;
#declare tile_direction = <1, 1>;
set_tile_camera ()
texture_tile (GraniteStone, 0)

if you want random looking stone or bricks or whatever, check out jeff
lee's macro at his web site.  it's really good.  i'm sure there is a
link on pov.org's links section.
