Instant tilling texture/tiles previev in image editor
Posted: 08 Jan 2010, 09:00
Hey,
I just saw a new screenshot of Hero of Allacrost and noticed the stone texture not tilling very well. So I asked myself: what editor to use, that would provide an instant tiled preview of a texture/tile I'm working on?
GIMP has the tile filter but it takes too much time selecting it and waiting for the output to appear.
A rather uncomfortable but effective solution is creating a html file:
and opening it in a browser window and configuring it to reload every second. This way I would just have to hit Ctrl+S in my image editor to see the tiled result 0 to 1 seconds later.
Does anybody know a tile editor, that has a tiled preview?

- {l Code}: {l Select All Code}
<html><body background-image="image.png"></body></html>
