pat file in your patterns directory (You can find its location in Edit > Preferences > Folders), and refresh the Patterns dialog, locate the pattern you made. I'm sure with more time and care you could probably make a better job of this.ĭo File > Export As, and save as a. If you need to, you can do Layer > Transform > Offset to reposition the tile to make recolouring easier. Paint copies of the cupcake with the brush, Tiling will be automatic.Ĭhoose a new foreground colour, Paintbrush tool, and in the tool options set the Paintbrush mode to LChHue or LChColor - and paint on the design with a soft edged round brush. Set the X and Y intervals in the Symmetry Painting dialog to 500px (or as close as you can get, sometimes it will only get up to 499.88, but that's fine). In Windows > Dockable Dialogs > Symmetry Painting, choose the Tiling option In the Brushes panel choose the Clipboard Image brush On a new layer, paste a rendered cupcake image (with transparent background) and resize it smaller than the square, select it using Ctrl+ A and copy it Ctrl+ C.

In addition the result is a vector, which stays sharp in all sizes.Ĭreate a square document, say 500px x 500px There are the tools to make easily regular repeats and straight lines of shapes and shape groups. Like already said by others, making this is easy in a vector drawing program. The tilting angle should have tangent which is a simple rational number like 2/3. It would look even more regular if there were easy to see horizontal repeating interval, too. It is regular, you saw it's formation rule above. The shapes stand straight again:Ī rectangular piece of it looks complex, but somehow it still looks like it's tiled in a regular way: The result is repeated again, but verically and again there's so tight repeating interval that no big caps occur:įinally the result is rotated the same 20 degrees, but counterclockwise. In the next image the the tilted shapes are grouped and the group is repeated horizontally with regular interval. They will be straight again when the shape lines are tilted. In the right each of them is rotated clockwise 20 degrees. They have (like faces) vertical symmetry axis which make them look like they stand straight: To simulate the effect we can draw a tightly packed set of 4 different shapes.

You see that along the horizontal (cyan) line there's also some approximate repeating, but that's a random incident, the tilting angle (about 20,4 degrees) of the actual shape lines is not selected so that there's an exact easy to see horizontal repeating interval. If you follow my yellow parallel lines you see that different face shapes are uniform lines along them. This would not work as well if only abstract shapes were used. Using faces is clever, because we (humans) spot effectively 'it's a face'.

There seems to be a few different shapes which resemble faces. I don't own any editors for images besides GIMP or Paint.Īs an array of repeating items it's not difficult. One solution I've got is to screenshot it and edit out all outlines but that will take a while and will be my last resource.Īll PoD sites I've seen have a very basic designer which lets you do nothing good so I've to import my own pattern to that site in order to get my US and EU customers the same designs. What I tried to do is download it from them, but there is no button for that nor can I screenshot or download it from F12 dev tools as the slipper outlines will be in it. So therefore I would like to know how I can make this exact or even better pattern myself so I can use it on an EU PoD site. I want to sell my object in my home country I got to pay about 25% import tax. Well, the pattern is made by the Printify editor and, as it turned out, Printify does only have one fabricator for this object which is in the USA. Now you may ask: Why do you want to make something you already got and still have access to? I've added a picture below to show what I want to create.

I'm trying is to make is a design from four cupcakes that overlap and are seamless just like a seamless gravel pattern basically.
