Cube Texture Repeating Tile

[Rik]

Rik, how else do I create a background fill for an object or page or pasteboard?

Ah!
OK, I can see how and where you're using it.
I've never done that. So, that's good to know.

Strangley enough I received a mail-shot from istock which carried a very similar but more complicated 3D cube tile. It had numerous fill colours for the cubes as well as a fairly complex offset.

I thought I'd try to replicate it in Xara.

Here are my results:

The left image is of a numerous colour fill, the right is of a "type" of greyscale fill. All are editable.

Also attached is a screengrab of the istock image.

I've also attached the xar files but editing them is not for novices.

Off-topic but anyway, I stopped using iStock on principle when it was bought out by Getty. Anything that is Getty images is anathema and if I have to search high and low for an alternative to a Getty image, I will. Sometimes if you stand for nothing you will settle for anything.

Back on-topic, I like how you reproduced that, Egg
