Seamless Raster patterns

[evtonic3]

Until a vector pattern function comes along, I have adopted this method to create high res raster patterns. I don't think you can see the differences in raster and vector unless you zoom in really close, but who's gonna do that to your artwork. Anyway, my video shows a simple pattern. Enjoy!

Hi. Thank you, but the file isn't there anymore.

[evtonic3]

Yes, it's working now, but the quality is low, so it's very difficult to see your settings (what you are typing in the boxes).

 

However the method is great. :)

You have to DL the full res version apparently in Dropbox. SORRY!

I failed to mention, if you ever need to tweak the pattern, just save your original .designer file to always be able to edit your pattern.

Thank you, now I could see it.

What exactly did you do when you repeated the stars (on the edge)? I saw you "were in the edit menu", but not what you did.

 

Sorry for all the questions; the hazard of sharing.. ;)

There I just copy-pasted the star then with one right arrow key press the star moved over to the other side. In the beginning I set a nudge to be the same size as the doc to allow this to be precise placement of the stars on the edges.

[Madame]

Thank you, one happy girl here. :)

Yes I noticed the "nudge input".

Hi, it's the gradient tool in both Affinity Designer and Photo. Fill>Bitmap. It's not vector pattern though.
