Design Seamless Patterns in Photoshop

As you can see I have come to photoshop, we are watching the pattern that we have to design.

Which can be used in the background. So I have these patterns.

Which i have added into a photograph.

I have added various patterns.

In its place, you can take a unicorn or stars.

So if you have flowers and all, you can set those and make a design of this type.

After that what you have to do is, go into the filter, select this first then go to filter, go to other, select the offset.

What will happen in offset?

It will convert the into half of the original size of canvas that you will have.

So I will make it to 50, 500.

So it will look something like this, which is not good so it is better to create a new one instead.

Make it 1000 by 1000.

Turn canvas into 1000 by 1000. Resolution 300 and color will be white.

After this, drag and drop this to here.

So this is very large.

First lets convert to smart objects.

We will make it smaller, so the quality is maintained.

After this, bring it to the middle.

So this is done.

Filter > other > offset.

500 by 500.

Divide the size of canvas in two pieces and click ok.

 After that you will get this type of effect.

You can even remove this white one. How?

I will explain to you once.

Go to the selection tool, take the magic wand tool or take the object selection tool.

So we will use a magic wand tool.

After the selection of color, simply select with control shift I .

And then turn the color to black.

Create a new layer from here.

We can color fill into these or we can do this type.

Control shift i.

We will fill the color with this type, give blue color.

Or simply you can delete it.

So we will get something like this type.

The selection which has happened, controls C to that.

Control c here, Control v there.

So we will get something of this type.

We also have to minus it with this.

Plus also to this.

So we can simply select it.

Turn Point sample from here.

 Remove contiguous from here.

So what will it do?

It will select everything for us. 1000 by 1000.

Turn off anti alias and turn on sample all layers.

Yet it is not happening.

Lets select fully.

So we have to simply select it.

So we got the selection properly.

What we will do next is, put all this into a new layer and color fill.

We will get the same color and background will also get deleted properly.

Make sure the main background is not selected by mistake.

Or else all our efforts will be wasted.

Selecting everything, whatever i need i am selecting everything.

Or else you can do one thing, make it with your png, if you have made a vector file, you can make a pattern of it too.

If you find a texture, you can use that texture too.

So for now i dont have the texture, so i cannot use the texture.

We will take it into one more new layer.

Fill the color and close everything else.

So this is our png.

We do not have the work of this this and this.

Filter > other > offset.

Taking it to offset will make it into 500-500.

After that click ok.

Control J and make it smaller.

So the middle one which was not filled, is getting filled in a different way.

 Or else you can use different elements.

Like if you have a unicorn, or some other patterns.

You can add those too.

So i dont have for now.

So I am trying to fill by doing control J.

 Let's do it one more time control J.

Control J.

So this is done.

Just we will fill it.

After that go in edit, define it.

Define as a pattern, give the name for the pattern.

“Seamless pattern”.

I will tell you , I have one more pattern.

we will see that , but first , let's merge that.

we have to merge all the things and then we have to go to edit and select define again.

define , pattern , pattern 1.

we'll do control+1 and then earlier the canvas size we had given was 1000 by 1000 , so we'll change it to 2000 by 2000. and the resolution will be 300.

Then from here , we'll make a new layer , then we'll go to affex and use the pattern overlay and there we will find the pattern we designed.

After clicking ok , we'll see the pattern here.

If you can't see , you can go to FX and check why it isn't visible.

So let's fill in the color.

so the pattern was not visible because of the blue color.

so once again we'll delete this.

And we'll turn the FX on , pattern overlay.

and from here , we'll increase the scale ,

and press ok.

and we will give it the black color.

so , we will get a pattern like this.

So let's close what we have done earlier.

After closing that , we'll get a pattern like this.

We have pre-designs pattern also in this photoshop.

which we can use like trees , these are kind of texture only.

you can understand this.

see , we have a pattern of leaves , then we have trees , then we also have a pattern of grass textures here.

We call these patterns.

so we can design this type of pattern , for that you will need images of vectors , and many more textures.

So now I will teach you how to make a seamless texture of a pattern.

 so as you have seen , i have downloaded an image.

we will make that image seamless , so first of all we'll put it in the background layer only.

we'll do 500 by 500 and click on ok.

Then we'll go to edit , then define patterns , then we can give any of the names we want.

right now i am naming it textures.

Now we will make a new layer. whose size will be 5000 by 5000.

You can increase the size as much as you want.

Then we'll go to layers , from there we'll take a new layer , then we'll go in FX and use the pattern overlay in that .

in pattern overlay , we'll add the new pattern and click okay.

so if you cannot see , you have to press ctrl+back , and you can fill the color to use it.

so you will get a pattern of this type.

You can make it better by rotating it.

Or else you'll go in pattern overlay , you'll find angle so, we'll make the angle 0.

so perfectly you'll get a tileable pattern.

So now , you can use this in anything.

here i have given blue color , but in replacement , you can give white color also. Also you can fill it with black color and still you can see the pattern.

you will not find any difficulties in that.

So this was our topic today's topic , which is used to design the pattern ,which is called the seamless pattern.

This same thing we'll be helpful to you in the 3D rendering and 3D designing and texturing in 3D softwaring.

so i have shown you how you can do this , seamless pattern design.

so , I will save this file .

So here we are done with today's topic.
