Wall paint

Real size and seamless

For a photo, tell Matelume how much wall it shows, then make one tile that repeats over the wall.

Current release: Matelume 2.0

These two steps are for a photo. A colour start skips them.

Real size

The Real size step for a wall paint photo: set how wide the photo is on the wall, with four quick sizes.
The Real size step: type the width, or pick a quick size.
  1. On the Real size step, set the real width of what your photo shows: drag Width, or type it next to Or type it, in cm:. Measure across the wall in the photo, not the room.
  2. Or pick one of the Quick sizes: A close-up (10 cm of wall), A sample board (30 cm wide), A wall section (1 m wide) or A whole wall (3 m wide).
  3. Click Continue.

The height follows the photo and is never stretched. The panel says how much wall your photo covers; the seamless tile, the wall texture and the exported maps all follow this size.

Real size with A close-up (10 cm of wall): the photo at true scale beside the 3D wall.
A close-up: the photo shows 10 cm of wall.
Real size with A whole wall (3 m wide): the photo covers the wall in the 3D view.
A whole wall: the photo covers 3 m of wall in the 3D view.

Seamless

The Seamless step: one tile of the photo that repeats over the wall, with how much of the photo is kept.
The Seamless step: one tile, repeated 2 × 2 to check the join.
  1. On the Seamless step, start with Photo kept at 90 %.
  2. Keep more of your photo, or let the join cut more where it shows. Adjust until the join disappears.
  3. Click Continue.

Each photo needs a different value. The finished map is one tile; the 2 × 2 view only checks that it repeats.
