Join Deke McClelland for an in-depth discussion in this video 691 Exploring regular molecule patterns, part of Deke's Techniques.
- Hey gang, this is Deke McClelland.…Welcome to Deke's Techniques.…Last week I showed you how to create…a kind of Voronoi diagram using the gradient tool,…which results in a random pattern of what looked to me…like thriving molecules.…Well this week, we're going to drop the random bit…and we're going to create a regular hex pattern of molecules…that we can then turn around and blend…to create these elaborate effects.…Here, let me show you exactly how it works.…All right here's the final version of the image…opened up inside Photoshop.…
We're going to be creating it from scratch,…and so if you'd like to join me,…go up to the File menu and choose the New command.…Or you can press Control + N or Command + N on the Mac,…and regardless of the appearance…of your New Document dialog box,…set the unit of measure to Pixels,…and then if you want to get the same results as me,…set the width value to 2,900 pixels…and the height to 1,968.…This by the way is going to be a work of vector-based artwork,…so you can always upsample the image at no cost…
