In the January Xara Xone Gary has created 25 Seamless Tilling Textures.
I enjoy creating my own just for fun.
Here's one I created from the Wallpaper LINK
They're fun & a challenge to create. How about giving it a go?

These were created for a space-themed series of stereograms
Many moons ago, Egg created this Guest Tutorial on how to create repeating patterns http://www.xaraxone.com/guest/guest19/index.htm
Wow is me, for some reason I couldn't see them, I guess I must be on Mayas team now, cause she cannot see then either,Quote:

We were young men then Egg. ;))
I tried one with the tutorial, Egg, and used part of a photo of some daisies from my yard...
added a square one also...
Particularly like the second tile Crow Haven, it makes for a very pleasant kitchen tile. There I go, getting in touch with my feminine side again ;)
:) These are so fun to do, Egg! I'd never tried tiles before. Here's an experiment with a little ant photo I took...they could take over a picnic!
Yes Maya, they are a lot of fun & a great challenge :) Love the ants.
:) 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?Quote:

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
