YY_Seamless

This plugin will create seamlessly-tileable textures for other plugins which require them like CC Sphere, CC Cylinder, Polar Coordinates, etc. or any 3D program. It works by creating a copy of the texture offset by 50%, and smoothly interpolating between the offset and the original texture.

Adobe dropped Pixel Bender support in After Effects CS6 so this plugin will not work in CS6.

YY_Seamless is a plugin which will create seamlessly-tileable textures for other plugins which require them like CC Sphere, CC Cylinder, Polar Coordinates, etc. or any 3D program. It works by creating a copy of the texture offset by 50%, and smoothly interpolating between the offset and the original texture.

Options are:

Dimensions: This is here due to limitations in PixelBender, just leave it.
Pre-Scale: Scale the image before tiling
Pre-Rotate: Rotate the image before tiling
Remove Seams: Whether to make it tile horizontally, vertically, or both
Border Size: Size of the border used in interpolating
Border Feather: Softness of the interpolation
Smoother Alpha: Hides the blending between textures

there’s a one pixel border around the comp makes it not seamless. How do you get rid of it?

Here’s what I used.

- 1k comp
- add solid
- add fractal noise
- add YY seamless. Render out 1 frame.
- put that frame back to photoshop > filter >offset
- Instantly, you see the seam.
