Join Deke McClelland for an in-depth discussion in this video 635 Turning an orthogonal cube into a pattern, part of Deke's Techniques.
- Hey gang, this is Deek McClellan.…Welcome to Deek's Techniques.…This week, we're going to take that intriguing…cube logo that we created last week…in Adobe Illustrator and we're going to turn it…into a seamlessly repeating tile pattern.…And this is going to work out brilliantly…because even though we look at this thing…and think orthogonal cube,…it's actually a six sided hexagon…with three pairs of parallel sides.…So these guys are parallel, so are these…and so are the vertical sides.…Now some sides are bigger than others but that…doesn't matter because it's a hexagon,…we can turn it into a hex pattern.…
