carowe Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Is there a way to download a picture of a tile from a manufacturer's website and create a material? I am trying to use the attached pics of tiles for a backsplash in a kitchen and have followed the instructions on the videos, but cannot get the tile to align properly. I have attached pictures of the two tiles I'd like to show the client, and a picture of what happens when I try to use the material. Thanks!

These need to be made into tile-able or "seamless" texture files, which would usually be done in a photo editing software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I typically charge for this but needed to log a good deed for the day They aren't perfect-making them perfect would take a good couple hours- here you go: TILE SAMPLES BY RAB.calibz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrean Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 carowe, you may be able to use the screen capture tool that comes with Chief to capture some tile images like your examples.
