Jup, that's what you do! In Photoshop just use the offset filter and set the offset to half the pixel size of your texture. Then fix the seams in the middle. The quick n' dirty way would be simply using the healing brush, but that might give you blurry areas or ugly repeating "chunks" of picture.

Depending on the texture you're making tileable, you might have to manually paint over the seams or copy extra elements of the picture over them (Like bricks or stones).
If your texture is rather uniform with no big elements (like sand, short grass, concrete or gravel for example) a neat trick is to duplicate the layer and only offset one of the two copies. Then paint a layer mask onto the offsetted one that only covers the seams and fades out in a fitting way (furry brush for grass, rough brush for concrete... just don't use the standard blurry brush it looks...blurry Big Grin). That way it's done within minutes and it often works nicely!
Instead of copying the layer you can of course also use another fitting texture. For example you could take two square chunks of concrete out of a bigger photo and blend them together into one tiling piece using the same method.

I don't find it confusing. I've never said it's confusing. I think it's a restricted term, the barrel that Aldi made is handpainted, even if it doesn't look like LoL it's still handpainted. I think it's restrictive to use handpainted textures only when it comes around to things like cartoony textures, I don't like that, and I don't think it's the right use of the word. The industry might think that, but I think the industry is wrong.

Something being painted actually requires some proper painting if you ask me, the barrel posted seemed like nothing but a solid colour, that's why I asked to see it.

It's close, which is why I'm too embarrassed to post it. : P

Was given a basemesh to show a friend some UV mapping tips.
Wound up playing around with him a bit.
Far from perfect. And I mean miles. But eh. Just for fun. :3

Some of the shadows are confusing me, makes me think their is something in the environment casting them. Although the arms have them textured in.

Something something portable internet? Is this about the availability of such in Portugal or the convenience of such?

Actualy, you were pretty close. Its about how many Portuguese people use portable devices to access the internet outside their home.
