==========================================================
VIDEO TEXTURE (LIKE WATER, CLOUDS, HIGHWAY DRIVING OR OTHER VIDEO BACKDROPS)

1) In your video editor load your video texture

2) make a copy of it and place it AFTER the original

3) reverse the direction of the copy
(procedure depends on which video editor you use, you'll have to figure that out)

4) save the the normal and backward clips together as one double-long clip.

This works the same as the scrolling 2D graphic in the first example

to make graphics seamless in all directions, mirror it as described above, them take the result and mirror it again in the vertical direction. Once again, where the two copies touch, they need to be a mirror image of one another

if the original graphic was ABC the tilable version would be :
---------
VBCCBV
ABCCBA
---------
(V represents an upside down A.. the other letter already look the same upside down)

MAKING SEAMLESS SIDE - SCROLLING 2D GRAPHICS
===============================================
2d graphics that scroll sideways seamlessly in a backdrop can be created by opening any graphic in a graphic editor, making a mirror image of it, and pasting the two images together. The 2nd image should start exactly where the last one ended, and end up where the first image re-starts.
metaphorically, it's like a visual palindrome: "MADAM I'M ADAM"
