Help with Photoshop

acuna_read · 18-04-2003, 04:06 PM

I need some help using Photoshop 6 but keeping on getting confused by the program. I know I should learn how to do this myself but I need a quick fix.

I am trying to create a tiled floor pattern so that I can use it as the floor for a technology project model but have got a problem. I have created one tile but would like to know how to make a whole bunch of them to give a tiled pattern!

Alos I have made the tile too big and want it to be smaller. do I need to create another smaller tile or is there a way I can shrink the one ive alredy made.

Like I said before im new to this program and am looking for a qucick fix. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE Help!!!

Thanks.

two ways you can go about this
either tile it in photoshop or tile it in your 3d program

probably faster to do it in the 3d program in terms of scaling the uv's, however that leaves a very tiled look (there are ways to overcome this with compositing materials and shaders but for simplicity sake lets not get into that)

the other way is to just do it in photoshop. make a copy of the image, resize it and then either set it as a pattern that you can fill with or just manually copy it over and over again in the final image.

good luck
