I love building in OpenSim, but I don’t love the process of finding or creating textures.

It’s hard to find just the right one, and even harder to figure out its license terms. All those texture packs floating around — are they legitimate? Or are they ripped off from Second Life?

For a while, anytime I went anywhere in real life I’d take pictures of rock walls, brick walls, asphalt, tree bark — anything that I could turn into a texture. Then I’d use Gimp to process the image, in a painstaking and labor-intensive process.

Turns out, my favorite AI image generator — Midjourney — has a tile function that will generate free, unique, seamless textures on demand.

Just type a command like the following:

/imagine flower texture –tile –v 3

The “–tile” command is what makes it seamless, and the “–v 3” command indicates that you want version 3 of the AI model. The latest version, version 4, doesn’t yet support tiles. Though, by the time you read this, it well might.

You really can’t tell where the seams are. The pattern is perfect.
