I have been working on a script to generate hexagonal grid paths. This, with the help of my shapes-path script, can lead to tilable patterns:





Hex grid script is still not completely fit for human consumption

Those are really cool ofnuts.

Wow Lyle, those are healthy looking black berries.

Another meeting, another code tweak, another test, another pattern. In a mind-boggling evolution of my art, I used two colors.



It is starting to look like 70's-era floor tiles.

Maybe the 50,s
Nice job though.

I read this as "Lick here" for the texture. Needless to say my monitor is clean, and my coworkers have moved me to a special room and asked me to wear this really cool, white, sleeveless jacket! HAHA Nice texture, Lyle. I love blackberries!

Not everyone will see it.

The eyes are very well centered

I paralled my eyes and then cropped Ofnuts; not an easy thing to do. lol

Secrets of a hack.

Hypnotising! I can't see anything and if I look longer I will not see anything at all.

The trick is to keep your eyes parallel. If you can't do it on your computer display:
- print on paper at 100DPI (keep roughly the same size as on your screen)
- crop the paper to the picture (at least the top edge)
- hold the picture at arm's length, and look at something further away (3-4 metres, 10 yards) just above the upper edge.
- lift the image slowly.

More hexagons (90x52):

55 patterns (simple ones; screentones, stars, semi-regular tessellations...)

just rediscovered the "turing-pattern" filter
(Filters/Render/Pattern)
thanks to GIMP-forum

an example (two pattern type Papillary on two layers , different size, different gradient, one layer 50% over the other one)

Cool, thanks dinasset.

A few days ago, a friend emailed me a cool site for free clip art. Used this image to create the seamless texture.

Took Patternshop (opensource) out for a play to create this texture.




Of course, I had a play with the texture as well.



As a SSP (shameless self promotion), you can click here for my Deviant where you can find all of my seamless textures.

lyle: nice orange pattern! and your deviant page is full of nice stuff, i think i've seen some here on gimp chat but not all . a question: you don't happen to have a working download link for patternshop?

Click link below to the site AnMal; just be aware that it is hosted by Sourceforge. lol



http://patternshop.sourceforge.net/en/index.php/

lyle: i tried that one twice before i came in here and asked you, i get an error message saying the file is missing. i thought maybe they had left source forge. ah well, i'll give it one more try, if it doeesn't work maybe i can get it some other way.

Not sure what OS you have AnMAL; the direct Sourceforge links is below.
