:) Thanks, Egg!
Hi everyone, by taking Egg's tutorial and making a live copy of the first triangle you can make your very own pattern tile maker. use the first triangle as your master copy and by changing the fill and editing the fill you can create many different variations quickly and easily. marquee select the 8 live copies that make up your tile make a bitmap copy of them and use that bitmap to fill your master copy and you can create even more variations from the same original bitmap!
Here is my .xar file which contains an animal print seamless tile that I created using a different program and two pattern variations
Many thanks, Frances!=D>
You are quite welcome Maya :) This is actually the same basic idea that I used for the snowflake maker that I posted about a year ago except with the snowflake maker you are erasing bits of the master copy and of course it is configured in a hexagon rather than a square.
Thanks for the tip, based on Egg's wallpaper example tried to paste it to the tile maker, do you someone has an idea after how to remove those antialias lines in the middle?

Best way I've found is:
1: Create the tile
2: Group it
3: Clone, englarge slightly and rotate slightly
4: Send to back
5: Select the front tile & create a full colour NO alpha bitmap
See attached xar file
Actually there's no need to create 8 triangles, you can achieve the same result with just 2 and use repeat inverted. I've sexed this one up a bit so it's not so obviously repeating.
Egg thanks for the tip, that slight rotating is really good tactic. Also will try the live copies with the repeat inverted method
