Making your own tileable textures

Description

Making your own unique tileable textures is not all that difficult or time consuming and you don't even need to go out to photoshop. In fact, it can all be done within modo using the paint tools, and you can do it in less than 5 minutes!
Assumptions

That you are already familiar with modo's UV mapping and painting tools. (But if not, and you have any questions, please leave a comment below)
Step-by-Step
    • Create a flat plane 3 x 3
    • Create a new UV map using Barycentric projection  UV > UV Projection Tool > Barycentric 
    • Switch to the Paint tab
    • Create a blank texture  > Texture > Add blank colour texture 
    • Start painting your design. No matter what pattern you create it will be tillable!
    • Remember to save your image out > File > Save Image
