Learn How To Create Truchet Patterns The Easy Way!

1. Class Introduction: Have you ever seen pattern like this and wondered how they are made? Ever thought you'd never be able to make patterns so complicated? Well, actually like with anything else in life. Once you know the trick to making these patterns, they are not too difficult at all. Hi, I'm Katya. I'm a surface pattern designer and artist, and I'm based in Sicily, Italy. In this class, I will show you what is a true Chez tile. And now it works. How to create different Touche tiles? What is a symbol and how it works, and how to use symbols to create Touche patterns. I will also show you how to do a normal and a random rotation. And now to make a repeat pattern from you to share design. As a bonus, I'll show you how to make a maze pattern. This class is for intermediate students or adventurous beginners who would like to try something different. It's also perfect for pattern designers who love geometrical patterns or those who would like to add some geometrical patterns today, pattern collections, e.g. by the end of the class, you will have acquired new skills and knowledge about some of the illustrator tools, such as symbols, e.g. that can be applied to other projects as well. So are you ready? Let's get started. 2. Class Project: Your class project is to first create a symbol, then make the template, and then have lots of fun creating Touche patents. Don't forget to post images of your patterns in the project section because I really cannot wait to see what you create. 3. Truchet Introduction: In this module, we're going to talk about true shape patterns and how to make them. But first of all, let's see what crochet patterns are and where they originated from. Trisha tiles were first described by Sebastian Tricia in 1704. It was a French Dominican priest. Home, amongst other things, studied the qualitative patterns on ceramic tiles. One in particular that he studied was made by a square split by a diagonal line into two triangles, just like the one you see here. And it was decorated with two different colors. Notice that by placing these tiles in different orientations, like these ones, e.g. you could form a huge amount of different patterns. Here are just some very few examples. This type of pattern formation is known as Touche tiling. Later on, series tally Smith brought back this sort of patterns to popularity and he actually added the new variance, just like the one you can see here with these sections of circles, which when they are employed to make a pattern, they form something like this. Well, this is one of the divisions. Of course. This type of patterns to share patents are usually the domain of coders because they can be generated very easily by codes are scripts. However, I can show you a method to make these patents that doesn't involve code, but it will involve making some symbols and having a starting pattern template more or less like this, you can see here with this little arrows, right? So if you want more information on crochet patterns, all you have to do really is type crochet patterns on a search engine. And you will see there is a huge amount of information starting from the origins. Like something thinks about Sebastian, true Chez. And up to nowadays, because lots of people find these patterns really interesting and they keep making them. There's lots of videos. You can just spend a few hours if you want, searching for more information about these patterns. And now in the next lesson I'm going to show you the characteristics of a true shaped tile, which is the building block of our pattern. See you in the next lesson. 4. Tile Characteristics: In this lesson, I'm going to show you the characteristics of true Chez tiles to shift patterns are not really as complicated as they look. When you look at the button like this, like this example here on the left, you might think that it's really difficult to do. But once you know how these patterns work, it's really not that bad. Trisha patents are actually made up by a number of tiles which are basically identical, is the same as the one. Tile, is just the same tile repeated over and over again. The only difference between the different tiles is that they are rotated and every time is rotated by 90 degree. So this tile here, which is basically just the triangular shape, will be rotated and it will create a pattern. This shape here with a little sections of a circle will be rotated and it will create something like this pattern on the left. So to make a true shape atom with infinite really combinations, you just need one little tiny tile. And according to what's in detail, then you will get different results. Of course, it's important the way you actually built the tile. And I will show you how to do this. Because if they're not built properly, then patterns like this would not work. I will now show you in Illustrator what I mean when I say the pattern is made with little tails is better to have a visual I always find. So let's go to Illustrator. So here we are in Illustrator. And as you can see, one of the crochet patterns here, which is made with just this little tail. And it looks like, if you look at it like this, that these lines are all just one line, the black lines. But actually as you can see, as I hover on top of the pattern, you can see this little squares been highlighted. And that's because this pattern is actually made up of lots of little squares. So every one of these, every single one of these is the same square. And the only thing that changes is that it's been rotated on multiples of 90 degrees. I just wanted to show you this. Here. I just wanted to show you some examples of the patents you can achieve with just one little tail. This one here. As you can see, it's just a couple of sections of circles. And you get this sort of pattern. And then this one you see already just that this one is almost the whole thing is covered by a section of a circle. And you get this sort of sixties a button. It's got a sixties vibes. And then we have a triangle, like just a simple triangle and it gives you this sort of button. And then I wanted to show you just this one, which is quite fun. Can you guess what this is going to look like? So let's put this in here and we'll center it. Okay, I know it doesn't look very impressive now, but bear with me. If we randomly select a few of them, let's say 60 per cent. Now we'll show you how to do this. And then we transform each. We have amaze. And I will show you how to transform this into a pattern as well. So in the next lesson, I'm going to talk to you about what's the symbol and how to use them and how do they work? I know you're thinking, well, why are we going to talk about symbols now? But it will make sense, because the way I'm going to show you how to make this Touche patents. If you don't want to use a script, you will have to use symbols. But it's really, really easy. So don't worry about it. I will show you how to do them and I will show you how the work, okay, So how will see you in the next lesson? 5. Symbols and How They Work: In this lesson, I'm going to show you what symbols are and how to use them, how to make them, especially because we will need them later on. So symbols, basically, if we go to the Symbols panel here and if you don't have it here, you can always go to window and symbols. They are objects that you can use in your document many different times. And once you change the symbol in one instance, it will change the symbols at the same time. So I will show you what I mean because it might not make much sense at the moment. So if I make a symbol for you, so I click on a door, 100 by hundred pixel is fine. And then I'll give it a fill. No stroke. We don't need a stroke. And then, uh, let's see, uh, get the polygon tool and I'll do a triangle. So give it three points. And this one, I would turn it around. And then I do a little rectangle here. So we can make an arrow. And this ones, if you select them both and go into the align horizontal central than it will align it properly. And what I like to do is also go to the Pathfinder and unite these shapes. So there's only one shape now. Let's give it a different color, not the stroke. And make it a little bit smaller. And just position it here. And I will select both in control G to group them. Okay, so now we have this symbol, but we need to make it into an actual symbol. So if I drag it, click it, and drag it to the symbols panel, you would get this little window and you can name it. I call it placeholder and choose graphic and dynamic symbol is fine. And now, as you can see, we have a little cross here in the middle, which means that this is now a symbol. So if we delete this and we drag this symbol out of the symbols panel, and then I make different copies. Let's see. Let's say we have this as a space where we want to build our pattern. What I can also do is make another one. Okay? So now we have symbols here that we can drag out. Just to show you what happens when you substitute this symbols with a wood. Something there you either draw or with somebody you have an object that you already have. So let me go and get a two different objects so I can show you how these work. So this is a pattern IF I'm done in the past. So we'll select a couple of these groups. This to Control C, Control V. We will make them a little bit smaller. And what you can do then, once you have your objective, can select it, Control C. And then you need to double-click on the symbol. You will see everything else is grayed out and you need to get rid of this one. But as you can see, the little cross stays there. And you can paste control V, your object and you need to set it around the middle where this crosses. Maybe I'll make it a little bit smaller. Okay, then you can double-click somewhere else in your workspace, or you can use the arrow exit symbol, editing mode. And just by magic, you these now instead of your symbol. And the same thing you can do with the order. So Control C, double-click, delete this control V to paste it. And maybe make it smaller. Double-click somewhere else and hear her. Your symbols which are now something else. So once you put something here in your symbol, nu original symbol. But you can do that with any of the symbols. It will change your object everywhere. Then it just does this automatically. And I can show you something else. If we this one, e.g. I. Can change this. If I think I didn't want this part here, I want it something else. I double-click on it, select it, delete it, and Control V to paste the new one. And there you go. Just like magic, everything has been updated. And also, if I make this bigger, e.g. and this a little bit less and make this one smaller. If I change this now, so I double-click, I just made it bigger or smaller. Just like that, without going inside the symbol. If I change this again. So let's put this one, or maybe, maybe something different. Let's put this one. So I just double-click on the symbol, delete this, and paste this one. When you come out of the symbol, then it will change with the new object and it will keep the sides you gave it. When you change the sides, like this. So these are the symbols and how they work. So in the next lesson, I'm going to show you how to build the template. So you can use that to make your true shape patterns in an easy and quick way. And the template is actually not difficult at all to make anyone take that long. So I'll see you in the next lesson. 6. The Template: Hello, welcome back. In this lesson, I'm going to show you how to set up your template, which is really quite simple. So what we need to do is our usual rectangle. We need to make a symbol. So that's why I showed you before how to make a symbol. So do the usual 100 by 100 pixel. And of course we need to swap this k and give it a color. It this color. Because I'm, I don't really like gray. Alright, so we need to do a little arrow here as well. So I'm just gonna do it like I did before. I'm three sides, okay. And just put it the right way up and make it a bit smaller and give it a little foot. So I'm not sure if that's the right name for it. Oops, not there. You need to do that. Okay, So I need to make these just one object. So I'm going to United and I give it a different color at the moment. But I'm going to put it here. Maybe make it a bit bigger. I'm going to center it. And then what I want to do is actually make like Pangea whole shaped in the shape of the arrow here. So I'm going to do Minus Front. All right, so we have this which is now like a whole. Alright, so we need to make this into a symbol. As I showed you before. We drag it here. And a color, I don't know. Placeholder doesn't really matter the name that you give it a graphic as usual. And okay, so now this has become a symbol. I'm going to align it to the art board. And I want to cover the entire art board with this symbol. So what I do is I like, I like shortcuts if you have noticed. So if I do Control K, I can change here the increments of the keyboard. So this is basically when you click the right and left arrows or up and down. This is by how much your object will move. So I have here 100 pixel, which is the right sides because it's the sides of our square. If I hold down the Alt key and the right arrow, you will have basically a copy. And it will have moved in the right direction. So make the copies to cover the entire row. Then I select everything. Hold down the Alt key, which is Command I think for the Mac, and then the down arrow. And this will make copies going down. And that's basically our template done. There you go. Nice and simple. What we need to do though, is saved this file as a template itself. So it will be there for when you need it. You don't have to redo this every single time. So if we go to File and Let's see if I can find it. Save as Template. Notice we go. You can save this as a template in Illustrator folder, but you need to change a few settings and other like to fiddle with that too much. So I normally make a folder somewhere in my computer. And I call it templates, my templates. So whatever you want to call it, and then save my templates there because it doesn't really matter where they are saved as long as when you want to open them. You open them, you take the file. So let's see, let's call it to share template. And if you look at the type, will be illustrator, template, AIT, and save. So now you have a template. And if we want to open this, like use this file, we go to File New from Template. And then we go with a saved it templates and open it. And you can see that it's kept, it has kept the symbol here. So now we can use these for a pattern basically to create our Trisha pattern. In the next lesson, I will show you how to create the lead to true shaped tiles. And then now we'll show you how to put everything together and use those styles and the template and make, finally, make the button. Okay, see you in the next lesson. 7. Make The Tiles: In this lesson, I'm going to show you how to create these tiles. Of course, there are millions more that you can do, but these are the classical tiles if you like. And you can do lots and lots of patterns from these ones already. So normally to create a tile, usually I work with art boards which are 1,000, 1,000. So when I create a tile, I do my little square, 100 by 100 pixel so I can fit them perfectly along, like to cover the whole art board. So let's do the square, will go to the Rectangle tool. Click once is already 100 by 100. Okay, I've got to give it a gray color. And then let's do the circle. So the Ellipse tool, again, we can use our 100 by 100 pixel. And I'm going to change. So swap the fill and the stroke color. And I'm gonna give it a black stroke. And then I'm going to make it bigger. Let's see, ten points. I'm going to center them. So select both of them. And then horizontal, not to the art board, but to the selection, the horizontal and vertical center. And then now we have this circle that is coming out a little bit from the square. And to do this, we need to basically cut this circle into sections. So if we go to the CSO tools or you can press C on your keyboard and you click on the anchor points. It will chop the circle into four sections. So click into each anchor point. And then you can do is you can get rid of the sections that you don't need. And then what I do is also select both of these sections, just the sections, and then expand them. So now we have this shape. So now we can move on to the next style. Again, we need the square. And let's give it a day. It's light gray color. And then in this case we will need two circles. So free, do L on the keyboard. Make the circle, give it a black color in, swap, the fill and the stroke and then give it a TEDx Points. And we make a copy of it with the Alt key. So what I like to do with these ones is to go quite close up and the foot, the center of the circle on the corner of your square. And if you have the guides on, it will help you to view. Smart guides will help you to put it in the right place. And then again, we need to expand these. So I'll expand. And now we can select everything and Shift M for the shape builder tool. And by holding the Alt key, we can delete the excess and we can group them control G. And that's done as well. So we will have working like that. Then for this one, it's actually quite easy. You just need to make a rectangle, 100, 100. And then what you do is you go into, let's see, if I find that the Delete Anchor Point tool or you can just hit Minus on your keyboard. And z, we'll see a little minus next to your pen. And then you can just go into the anchor point there and click. And I'm Yoav euro triangle. For the next one. Again, we need to square again and we'll do a light gray. And again we need a circle. So it's all squares and circles. Well, almost, almost all the time. And then we center this here. And we'll make sure it's in the middle. And then what we do is we take again our scissor tool and we click on the anchor points on there. Top and bottom. This makes basically cuts the shape into mixed to us and we can give me the one and then group them, control G. And the last one will. The second-to-last, we make another square, again, late gray. And then we make again the circle. Again. We make it black. Of course, you can change the colors afterwards. I'm just doing this. Now. Black for convenience. And then we put it here where it says intersect. So it's in there. Oops, not going to. But this is a talk with the smart guides. It will tell you when these, these to align at the vertex here. And then with the Alt key, I will make another one, another copy and place it on the other vertex. And then we will bring them to the top and then select them all. And with a shape builder tool, Let's do we did before, so get rid of the excess. So I did it on the opposite sides, but that really doesn't matter. Because when you turn it, it will be the same. Then the last one is literally a line. You get your line segment tool. And by pressing Shift it will do a 45-degree line. And then you can give it to a stroke as thick or as thin as you like. And of course, if you want the rounded and here, which will help for when you make the labyrinth button. You can go into the Stroke panel and you can choose round cap. I think Round Join is also a good idea to have. It will be round. And this is basically how you build these tiles. But of course you can go online and you can search for more and you can see how the other tiles are built. But there's loads and loads of them, but these are the most used ones, the most famous, shall we say? Alright, so in the next lesson I will show you how to do the manual rotation of the Euro tails. As soon the next lesson. 8. Manual Rotation: In this lesson, I'm going to show you how to create your button and also how to rotate it in a manual way. Then I will show you how to do the same rotations, but in a random way, which is much easier and simpler to achieve different buttons with a random rotation. But I will show you this anyway. So as I showed you before, in order to have one of these repeating in all of these symbols, we need to substitute these one of these squares with a symbol. And to do that, we need to select one of them, a Control-C to copy it. And then we double-click on the symbol. Instead of deleting it this time we're going to keep the symbol here as a guide to know where we need to place these Exactly. So if we zoom in, we want to place this exactly on top of the guide. And we can even select them both and align them. So we are sure that they are on top of each other. Next thing we need to do is we go into the Layers panel and we open them all. So this one here is the symbol. Let me see if I can make them a bit bigger. Okay, So you can see this better. So that's the arrow we want to do, the similar we want to hide. And also wanted to hide this gray here because otherwise it will show as a background and we don't need it in this case. And now that we have done all this, while we do is to double-click. And just like magic, we have our pattern. And if we want to use a different square, we can just select another one, control C. We double-click here and Control V. I'm going to make this visible again and maybe make that invisible and place it perfectly aligned. Maybe we can just again make sure that it's aligned like this. And then hide this again. Otherwise it will show a pattern. And here we have a different button. So it's the same thing with all of them. You just substitute your little square with the symbol here and everything would be changed. To do the manual rotation. You can select certain rows or columns or even diagonal. So I show you what I mean. So you can click and drag and select this column e.g. and then holding down the shift, we can select another one here and another one here. Maybe the last one. And then we can go to Object Transform, Transform Each from this panel we can reflect or change the angle. So with these squares you need increments of 90 degrees. So let's see what happens if I do 90 degrees. As you can see, it's changed. Those ones that we add selected. This tray underneath is doing this effect. I think we can reflect it as well. So this, this brings it back as it was, but you kinda reflected on the x. Let's see. To 70 brings it back. So one AD. And then when you're happy, you can just click Okay. But then you can select the rows, so click and drag. And then with the Shift key held down, you can select a bit more. Let's do this one, and then you go back to transform each. And it's already giving you, because we are the candor and eating reflect. But we can. And then I'll bring you back to 90. You can do all sorts of different effects like this. And if you select in a diagonal. So let's see if I can do this. Let's select all of these and go to transform each. And as you can see, it's changing them already. So you can do sections, you can do all of it. You can do all sorts of experiments. And it's basically up to how much time you want to dedicate and your creativity. This is, of course, once you have this, you can again change your symbol. So let's try with this one. Let's see. I will hide the little gray square, this one. And here you already have the transformation applied. And of course, if you don't like and you can go back and change it again. So this was how you apply the manual rotation. But I'm going to show you how you apply a random rotation, which is even more fun. So I will see you in the next lesson. 9. Random Rotation: In this lesson, I'm going to show you how to do a random rotation. However, to do this, we're going to need to download a script from the Internet. Now, this script is quite complicated. If you have a look at it after you download, it is quite long and complicated. So it's free to download and you can simply go to this website. And I will put a link for you and just click on Download. And depending on your type of computer operative system, you need to save your file. And it will save it as a zip file. So if we go to the downloads, is this one here. And you will have three different scripts which you can save on your computer. So if you can, you advise you to save it on the Illustrator I'm folder. So let me get this and we go to this PC, this C Program Files, Adobe Illustrator. And then it's actually presets. I think this actually changes depending where you're from. And then you save it into scripts. So I have them saved already, but you can just copy them or put them in, in this folder. Or if you put them if you can't access this folder because sometimes you need special permissions, you can just save it on another folder on your computer where you know you can access them and you don't forget where they are. And you can just open all the scripts and an access them that way. Once you, you've downloaded your scripts and you have them in your computer, we can go back to illustrator. And what we do is we need to select everything on your art board and you go into File scripts. So if you can put them into that folder showed you, then you will find them in here. So I have the random select. Otherwise you just go into all the scripts and open that folder where you saved it. So if I click Random Select, it will ask you what percentage of the objects selected you want to target, basically. So you can change this percentage, you can play with it. I will say, I don't know, 60 per cent. And okay. And this is, if you notice them, if you can see it, but it's selected 60% of the objects and some of them are not selected. But it's going to be more obvious when we go to Object, Transform, Transform Each. And as you can see, just like magic, we have a random transformation and it's quite fun. So we can just hit Okay? And that's it That's done for you. And then if you want, you can do another pattern and redo the random transformation. And I have a totally different pattern with the same tile. Actually, I haven't tried if I select these and run the script again. Let's see what happens. Let's leave 50 per cent this time. Transform each. And again, it will transform it once more. If you'd like this button selected again, repeat the process, and you will have your random transformation. And of course this will work with a different tiles as well. Let's try this one. Right? So please see here, it's aligned, align it perfectly, and make this invisible again. Oh, I forgot to remove the background. So as you can see, we have the gray background. So double-click. Make that invisible. Okay, so we have this now. And we can select it. We can go into the scripts and random select, say again 60 per cent. And then Object Transform, Transform Each. And as you can see, your pattern and just, you can just keep playing with it. There's really no limit to this. Alright, so in the next lesson, I will show you how to actually make the pattern from this. See you in the next lesson. 10. Let's Make The Pattern: In this lesson, I'm going to show you how to transform this series of little squares into an actual pattern. So to do this, we need to do a couple of things. First, we go into layers. And I usually like to save a copy of this just in case I want to play with it a bit more, I want to change it, or in case I mess up somewhere, somewhere along the line, I want to have a backup. So what I do to do this, I will duplicate this layer. This layer contains all of these basically. And it actually contains, I think these little squares here, but you can always delete these. You don't need to have your examples there, but just to show you, so I will click and drag this layer with a little plus sign is weekly to a copy of the layer, it should say here, copy. And then I will look and make this one you're invisible. So we have a backup basically. Okay, So next thing we need to do, these are all symbols and make a button. We don't need them to be symbols. So I'm going to go to the Symbols panel and click here where it says Break Link to symbol. So now these are just squares. They're not seamless anymore. Okay? So next thing to do is to create a background for our pattern. So we need a square, a 1,000, 1,000, and we give it a color. So align it. And then with the Shift Control Left bracket, we can send it to the back. If you want to change the color of your line, you can select everything, hold down, shift and click on the background. So all your black lines are selected. And we can give them a different color than somebody like. Pink is fine. And then, so now we have our lines here, we have our background. We need the no fill and no stroke, square underneath. So Control C, Control V, and we get rid of the field. Okay, so we are, I think, ready to go. We can select everything, drag it to the swatches panel. And let's try it. Let's make a square and fill it. And we have, our pattern is repeating nicely. And that's it. That's all you need to do. There's one thing I wanted to show you one more way of doing the pattern again and make the copy of the layer. And I have left that gray background in here. So what I'll do is select everything and release it from the symbols. Now we have all these squares. And then if I select everything and Ungroup, now, to ungroup again. So you need to ungroup a few times. And now we have, so I'm going to get rid of these. We have the background separated from the black lines. And what we can do is select just the background and then select same fill and stroke. So this selects the whole background. And we can go into the Pathfinder and met this brother to the front, but we can just do Control Shift and the right, I'm left bracket and bring it to the back. Now, this is our background which we can color, give a different color. So something late. And then for the black lines, again, we can select same fill color. And then we can give them a different color. And I think we can merge them as well. So now they are a continuous line. And now we need to again now do the no fill and no stroke square. So Control C, Control V, and get rid of the field. And then select everything, drag it to the swatches panel, and then Let's make a square and fill it. And we have our pattern. So this is where he as well. This might not work with all of these squares. That one little square where the background, the gray background actually interferes with the lines. So that's why I showed you the other way to do this. You have both options. So if it doesn't work with the gray square in there as a background, then you can get rid of the gray square and do the pattern as I showed you just now, just before a seal in the next lesson. 11. Bonus: The Maze Pattern: Hello, welcome back. So I just thought I would add an extra lesson on how to make the labyrinth pattern because this is a little bit different from the other patterns. So let's open our template file, new from template, and then we can use this. So this one here is just the line. Is if you open the transform is 100 pixel by 100 pixel and it's 20 points. You can change it, I'm sure. But this is what I'm using right now. So if I double-click on our template and get rid of this, then we can paste our line and just align it here. And now we are just straight lines. But of course you know how to do this by now. So we select everything, go to Scripts, Random Select, and select 60 per cent. Then we go to Object Transform, Transform Each. And we have our labyrinth here was already 270. You can play with this, of course. And I don't know what happens if you reflected it brings him back as he was. Okay, so let's leave it like that. We have our labyrinth. But of course, when you do a pattern, Let's give it a nice, everything that is on the left side needs to be repeated on the right and everything that isn't the top needs to be repeated at the bottom in order to work. So right now, let's see, we have this one, e.g. if I do Control K and right, 1,000 pixel, which is the width of the art board. If I move this here, you can see that it wasn't repeating, but it needs to be repeated because it's crossing this line. And the same goes for everything that is repeating on this side. So I just of course to copy is the usual old and right arrow key. So we have moved all of these. And now we need to repeat everything that is at the top, at the bottom. And there might be some lines that we're forgetting. So we're going to have to check if the pattern is working and then make adjustments if we need to. So let's have a look. Let's do a square. 1,000, 1,000. We get rid of the stroke and we fill it with something like that at the moment and send it to the back key. And then we need to do the extra squares. So Control C, Control B, and get rid of the fill. For our pattern. Select everything. And let's test the particles. There might be some lines that we are forgetting. And yes, there is something here. So we need to find this one, which is probably these two lines here. So yes. And then what else was there? This line here might be down. Let's see, just in case we can add these ones as well. Is because they are crossing. And I think this one, k. Did we do this one? Alright, so you have to make sure basically just look very carefully and see all the lines cross and just repeat them. Maybe this one. Let's try to get through and see what happens. Okay, So now we have just this line here that we need to find. Sometimes it's not easy when it's a complicated pattern, but let's have a look. So I think is actually this one. Yes. I think it was the one. Alright. Do some investigative work. Yes, I think now the pattern is working. So as you can see, you just have to maybe do a few tries, but just make sure that everything that is repeated, not only from this side, but also from this side, everything needs to be repeated. Of course, as you know, if you're making patterns, you will notice already. So just carefully look, see all of the lines that are crossing. Check all of them. And then of course you can. As you've seen, that's what I do. I just make the pattern check which one is which one needs to be corrected and adjusted, then the pattern will work. I just put it another one just right here. Let's see. I don't like to leave things like that. So let's see if I try if I find this one. I think he might be these ones here. Yes. It's so look, it's just a matter of being patients. Really. There we go. Now the pattern is working, and now we have our labyrinth pattern. And of course you can do this with all sorts of different shapes. You can change it with the transform each. And then you can just check and make sure that all the corners are matching up. Alright. I hope you have enjoyed this class and I'm happy creating. 12. Bonus #2: Hi there. I just wanted to add a little extra bonus class for you. If you have taken my class, my previous class before, just show you under the surface pattern design classes. There is a class called how to create easy templates for fun symmetrical patterns. And if you've taken that class, then you will have these templates. And you can actually combine these shapes here with that template. So e.g. I. Show you what I mean, if I copy this and go back to this is one of the templates and paste it here. You can position the tile here. Let's go a bit closer. If I do this, I can actually double-click and I can actually see where the title is. Let's see something like that. And then I will double-click again and actually delete this. And then we have this button straight away. If you're looking for something like that, then you can use this template. And if you rotate it, you can have the effect. Let's try another one. Let's see this one. And paste it here. And then position here. And we have this type of effect. And of course you can rotate it for something a bit funky and rotate it again and again. So you can obtain different effects with these type of templates. Let's open another one. So that one was the reflect template. This is the rotate template. Let's see what happens here. Oh, that's interesting. Look at that. And then that's a fun pattern. So as you can see, you can use these tiles for quite a lot of, oh, look at that. But a lot of fun effects. So if you like, you can take this class or you can even just download these templates. I think there's four or five of them. And play with the templates. You don't have to do the class, of course if you don't want to. But in that class I teach you how to do this. Let's try this one. This is so much fun. K polka straightaway. So if we get rid of the gray, that's quite cool. And then rule, this is really nice pattern. I'm going to be playing with this. By the way, I'm just experimenting this real-time we do. So look at this, this is a really fun. And if I try this and this one, Let's see what happens. Okay? Did I do this before? Maybe. But this is quite fun. Look at that. So let's open another one. This is the half drop template. This template, I did it a bit bigger. So that's why the square here is a bit bigger, so it's not handled by hand is a bit bigger. But what we can do is we can make this bigger. So we already have a pattern forming. And then we can make this type of pattern. Because it's a half took something like this the other way around or something like this. Let's try one more. This is the transform template. Okay? So this gives us this type of pattern. Let's see if we use another one. Let's try this one. Okay, this gives us that same sort of true shape at an effect that we had before. But we can do this if we rotated this. Or maybe we can rotate it freehand instead of holding the Shift key. So as you can see, and then you can add, of course, more to this patterns and make them even more different and varied. So just to let you know that you can combine these tiles with all the things that my other templates and, and get even more patents out of it. Alright? I hope you will have lots of fun with this. 13. Final Thoughts: Well done, incomplete in the class. I hope you've enjoyed it and now you can create lots of fun geometrical patterns. If you'd like to keep in touch, you can find me on Instagram at casual anti-art. And you can find out more about me and my work at critical anti-R2 dot com. Of course, if you want to keep up to date with new classes I post, don't forget to hit the follow button and you'll be notified as soon as I post a new class. As always, if you have any questions, just ask, drop me a line in the discussion section and I will try and respond as soon as possible. I'm looking forward to see you soon in the next class. Happy creating.
