Tile Generator problems! Cannot tile bitmap or SVG to create a overlaid pattern.

Question

Hello eveyone,What i'm trying to do is import a logo pattern I made in illustrator/photoshop. I want it to repeat over a fabric material, much like Louis Vuitton! Simple enough right? I'm trying to import the bitmap and SVG I made into Substance Designer (SD) and then input it to a tile generator and hopefully overlay it over this beautiful fabric. I have a screenshot attached of the project.What is going wrong is the tile generator stays black and nothing is tiled even with the image input on. Should I give up and not have this logo/pattern on top of the fabric? -The whole idea-I want to import this SBSAR into my C4D project which has a great cloth simulation to show this puppy off. The whole idea is put to a halt and I'm running out of time to show this to a client.  Any insight would be so very appreciated! Thanks in advance kind people.

Your tile generator is expecting a grayscale input but your bitmap is colour.

If you only need the black and white, and it sounds like you do, just insert a greyscale conversion node between the bitmap and tile generator.

If you do need colour, then you could use the tile generator colour node.
