I have a strange problem where all of my grass textures/brushes won't align properly...or something. There are huge black lines seperating each one, and all of the brushes are perfectly aligned. Has anyone else had this problem? And if you have or haven't, does anyone have any clue on how to fix it?

Here are some screenshots of what I'm talking about

Select all the grass textures then check the box in your Face edit sheet to "Treat as one" then press the [C]enter button. that should fix it.

The reason is that each ground brush is being textured individually. Do as Glass said, and make the scale .5x.5 or something as such. Should make it repeat nicely. Also, you might want to look into displacement surfaces. [addsig]

if you still have the problem after changing the texture to "treat as one" you might want to make sure that you're not using a "blend" texture reserved for alpha blending. That could cause the edges of the grass to blend to a darker, ground texture.

thats true, first you might just want to try a diffrent texture.

I've got blend textures on world brushes right along displacements. The texturing tiles perfectly, but you obviously need to be careful that your 'alpha painting' on the displacements goes to ZERO where you meet up with world brushes

This sounded like it would work, but alas, it didn't. Hopefully someone out there has had this same problem and knows how to fix it..

Are those displacment maps? if so, do they match up? try and select all your touching displacment maps, then press the Sew button on the displacment editor.

They are all displacement maps and are all sewn together. This is the most frustrating problem of all that I've had.

And? What happens if you use something more generic, e.g. a brickwall texture?

LOL, this is an easyone... don't due a -fast VRAD, you need to do the full one. The problem is just in the way that VRAD works when you use the "quick and dirty" -fast switch. Problem solved. Happy mapping.

you're pretty arrogant, and you're pretty wrong.

No, blasted, you're pretty arrogant for spitting at constructive advice.

If all else fails, why not just incorporate all those displacement brushes into a single one? I see no reason for them to be divided in that way. In fact, I see no reason for those brushes to be displacements at all.
