I just did a search and found this tutorial by Judi. Maybe that's what folks were referring to.
Seamless Fills made easy

In any case, it's a great method for vector objects and I will use it...

Oooo now you've got ME confused too!!

The pasta tile was all my own work and all my own idea and I was the one that consumed it with the red wine /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif
my original...

I actually like the gold one as it is. Reminds me of those disgusting cola-flavour sweets that my kids adore /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Looking forward to the tutorial. Maybe it will...

I like that! Especially as you can use bevels. The aligning then 45 degree rotation is a great trick.

The filters are very quick and easy and they work in Xara, but the results aren't as...

...only came in after I'd spent forever trying to pile up the pasta- it kept rolling off and didn't have the depth I wanted.

I forgot to rave about the weird tileable textures you can get from the...

Hahaha! The background is our supper!

Really I just picked pasta 'cos it would fit on the scanner. I want to make realistic (fun) fills to use in Xara, leaves for trees, bricks for buildings,...

I'm sorry this tutorial will take so long to load for those of us on dial-up.

Anyway, here's the tile I made at full size.

Now select the four bitmaps and create a bitmap copy (no alpha). Set a large page size and view the bitmap copy as a page background (Select it in the bitmap gallery and choose background at the...

Now select the four squares and convert to editable shapes. They are now shapes filled with a bitmap, and you can remove chunks of the central edges using the shape editor tool so that a shadow...

Not wonderful, but it's the technique I was after! I have been wanting to make these for so long, and now I've found out how, I hope no-one minds if I share it here. These is my first tutorial here...

overlapping the alien images- the attachment I forgot.

Of course it could have been my video drivers.

But this is strange. Rich, you commented on the angle of the rotation, and Judi, when I superimpose my image over yours the angles are similar,...

... that I don't know where to start!

Judy,

As soon as I saw your post I imported a bitmap into XaraX, tiled it seamlessly, and created a bitmap copy of part of it. When I drew a large rectangle with the bitmap copy as fill, here's...

Thank you Rich and Egg. I've tried several of your suggestions and I can cut back the number of edge lines but not get rid of them completely. I thought it was just me before ...

Love the new look. How could anyone ever have thought the original served a useful purpose???

btw Is the martian landscape from the original site? There was a time (20 years ago?) when we all...

I'm trying to get to grips with the bitmap tracer.

My first problem is- what's the best way to posterise an image to give it large blocks of colour rather than 8 colours spread in speckles over...

I get the "most compatible filter" message a lot with .ai and .eps files exported from other programs, but they always import just fine. I also get "invalid shape/line detected" or some such, but...

Ross,
Do you have a lot of installed fonts? I expect you know this, but for anyone who doesn't, you can install just the fonts you need for each project with a font manager, eg Font Navigator which...

Joan your fonts are fantastic, I've been a fan of yours for ages. But I didn't know you had these great tutorials! Thank you!

You've got some excellent links on your page- some new to me- but I...

Ross, you CAN make fonts with the versions of Corel Draw that you have. I've posted how to the Corel Draw forum because it was so nice to find my obsession with fonts on-topic somewhere...
