I've been following BlenderGuru's tutorial on ropes (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1drRNphACMc). It's a bit outdated but I've managed to get past some of the differences introduced in 2.8.

However, I have ran into a problem. My rope seems to have weird seams on the edges where the cylinders connect. I've checked and I don't have any double faces or vertices and the UV map lines up properly to each edge using 'Selected to Pixels'.

Is there something added in 2.8 that I need to change? I'm really not sure what the problem could be.

  • $\begingroup$ The thing is that I’m using the same texture as the one in the tutorial, and in the tutorial he did not get any seams, it all worked perfectly. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Is the 'Merge' distance in your Array modifier set high enough to weld the joins between elements? $\endgroup$

so the problem here is that your texture isn‘t seamless which you can fix by making it seamless in an imageprocessing software like gimp here is a youtube tutorial how to do that

Okay, I solved the issue. Thanks Robin Betts for the help. Just as he said, the problem was with the merge distance. Increased that and the seams are gone!

Thank you very much for the help everyone.
