Dig in before they go cold. Get them now!
Show us how you use repeating patterns in your work in this thread.
I guess I'll go first!
I traced off an extruded QuickShape and then used the brushed aluminum bitmap. Then I used the Photo Tool's Levels feature to modulate the tone of each side, just like the untextured extrude.

Lovely, thanks Gary
Thanks from me, too.
Mebbe we could have a tutorial on how you come up with these great textures?
Bob.
I recognise that, Bob.
It's one of the planets around Betelgeuse.
How on earth did you manage to get such a great representation?!
Brilliant drawing, and a great use of one of the textures.
Very nice textures Gary thanks! I've got them all loaded into my fills gallery :)
Thank you, Rik.
I used a pre-decimal version of Paintshop Pro to spherize the texture and in XDP I applied a dark orange contone.
Then I used both the FX Bump Map filters, (why are there two of them?) with the settings dialled up to 11 or so.
Then Flaming Pear's Glitterato Filter for the cool space background.
Bob.
Nice, inspiring art, Bob.
Three thumbs up!
