Corel Painter 361
You can base your Tessellation on Triangles,
Cracks or Pieces.
Corel Painter converts the
polygons to mosaic tiles, then
renders the mosaic image to the
canvas.
Notes:
•
Adding points based on a clone source
is a powerful option. The 500 points are
distributed according to the luminance of
the clone source. Lighter regions receive a
greater density of points and, so, smaller
polygons.
•
The number of points appears in the
corner of the Make Tessellation dialog
box.
Tips
•
Repeat a command from the Add
Points menu to create more points. You
can alternate between dragging and using
an add-points command. The points
accumulate.
•
You might want to convert a regular
image to a tessellation. If so, set up the
image as the clone source. Enable the
Clone Color option on the Colors palette.
Then make the tessellation.
A finished tessellation resembles stained glass.
