Seamless Blend

Node icon
Filter

Makes any image seamlessly tileable by blending the edges using cross-fade or noise-modulated blending.

Seamless Blend takes a non-tileable image and blends its edges so that it tiles without visible seams. Two modes are available: Cross-Fade applies a smooth S-curve blend across the edge region, while Noise Blend uses a noise-modulated boundary for a more organic, less predictable transition.

The Blend Width controls how much of the image participates in the edge blending. Higher values create smoother transitions but affect more of the original content. Verify the result with Tile Preview (T) in the Preview panel to see the image tiled in a grid.

Seamless Blend

ModeChoice
Default: Cross-Fade

Cross-Fade = smooth S-curve blend; Noise Blend = noise-modulated boundary

  • Cross-FadeSmooth S-curve blend at the edges — clean and predictable.
  • Noise BlendNoise-modulated blend boundary — more organic, hides the seam better in natural textures.
Blend Width %Number
Default: 15 Range: 1–50

How much of the image is blended at the edges; 50% blends across the entire image

Noise Blend

Amount %Number
Default: 100 Range: 10–200

Strength of noise modulation; 100% = default, 200% = maximum distortion

ScaleInteger
Default: 5 Range: 1–10

Size of noise variations; 1 = fine detail, 10 = large smooth distortions

SeedInteger
Default: 42 Range: 0–9999

Random seed for the noise pattern

  • Use Noise Blend mode for organic textures, since the irregular boundary hides the blend better than a straight cross-fade.
  • Start with 15–25% blend width and adjust based on visual quality.
  • Verify the result with Tile Preview (T) in the Preview panel to see the image tiled in a grid.
  • For photographs, Cross-Fade mode typically produces cleaner results than Noise Blend.
