On my way.

Hey Chris, apply the x10 action to a small black circle on white background and watch it grow in an organic pattern. Like burning wood with electricity.

[@toomuchtime5050]

can u explain this more?

[@photobackflip]

@@toomuchtime5050 Not really much more to explain? Do the tutorial. When finished use the "Repeat x10" action on a white layer that has a small black circle circle. Play around with the size of the circle to get different effects. Try having no fill and a black stroke too. So just a black ring. Then change the stroke width to tweak effect. Have fun!

[@Red_Rebel]

Love the results it’s like a cut half of a brain or a leaf microscopic texture

[@ZmashedIndustries]

Thanks for showing us how to make the 'CHORIN' pattern

[@jospargo8417]

Great tute - reminds me of Keith Haring's work!

[@Flitzpiepe]

I am stumped. I have just done this tutorial 4 times in a row but i get a clearly visible seam, every time. I get the impression that my image trace nudges the images ever so slightly but i can't get a repeating pattern done. V frustrating.

[@Red_Rebel]

I love generative art! This was fun to experiment with! Thank you!

Thanks for the great tutorial! Clear, quick, and shows multiple variations. Awesome.

[@pearliecreamcheese]

I'm subscribed, but just saw this on Turing patterns. Are they not free any longer?

[@tp7495]

Great tutorial, thank you! When using the motion blur, ripple effect, mosaic version it isn't seamless anymore. What could be the problem?

[@DanielSamulewiczXXI]

Amazing pattern and tutorial too! Can anyone explain how it comes the pattern is seamless in every 1024x1024px segment?

[@BouncingDande]

brilliant sir. works with Affinity Photo as well

[@MatthewFaustini]

Finding that I'm getting a pretty noticeable seam when I do any additional filtering to the pattern (e.g. Wave/Twirl etc.) Not that it's terribly noticeable depending on scale, but do you have any pointers?

[@moviemaker1986]

You have one of the best tutorials for turing patterns I've seen! I appreciate the mix of auditory explanations rather than just captions, and you go slow enough for me to absorb it. Already subscribed awhile back, or else I would again. :)

[@HaloLark-y7q]

At first i thought Pitbull was talking 😳

[@cellexvovo]

Hello Cris. Thanks for sharing this great tutorial. Please, can you help me? I am with struggles. When i do the "zoom out and crop the image", ( at 4:13 ) my image doesn't appears like a small object, on the center of the thumbnail of each layer. Can you please tell me why this occurs?

[@j3y3k70]

Thanks for the Vid but when I copy from Ps to Ai, the rectangle is not exactly 1024 which makes it impossible to make a Perfectly seamless pattern even after adjustments. Anyone knows why? Thanks! (The issue is even after adjusting the copy to 1024px when click on Object>Pattern>Make there's always some decimals after 1024. I resize it to 1024x1024 but there's a space on the edges - Adobe is giving me pains for simple pattern making smh)

[@SPKBLUE]

me pasa lo mismo. No es perfecto, crea bordes que no coinciden

[@azizbekpolatov583]

Please show the hot keys on the screen next time! He said Alt+Shift+E in 4:35 but it didn`t work, please help. I found out, this was Ctrl+Alt+Shift+E

[@Flitzpiepe]

he says Command Alt Shift and E.

[@jakeellis4969]

I've tried this multiple times now and I can't create a seamless pattern in Illustrator. It's like the copies are just slightly misaligned.

[@jakeellis4969]

The problem seems to occur when tracing, if I tile the pattern manually in PhotoShop it repeats, but when I apply the trace function in Illustrator all the elements in the pattern appear to shift position out of the bounding box

[@charliesvisuals9855]

Wow... nice tutorial 👍👍👍

[@andzelikaniklewicz1621]

fantastic !!

[@betodilello]

Hi, Chris. I followed your directions 3x but the pattern didn't turn out seamless. What am I doing wrong?

[@PuenteDorado]

Gracias Maestro saludos desde Bolivia

[@nachofuentes6085]

Imposible to make the pattern 😞 when i put the design near the original.. It doesn't fix. What can i do? Can I create a pattern in other size like 138x100?

[@cirquan]

Thanks for the video! Just finished building my new pc so I got newer Photoshop and kinda have to learn everything again as a lot of has changed. Well, not everything but there a lot of new features... Thanks.

[@mikeparker3865]

what a great video. I love it! Keep them coming.

[@shahzadansari76]

WOW! really very good tutorial. Thanks it is very helpful. Dear can you learn me that how can i make frost texture in PS then convert in vector in AI?

[@janthummler3548]

This is an awesome technique I never knew I needed! THanks a lot for sharing!

[@josueornelas3347]

do you still have the turning patters for free?

[@Onkarr]

Top tutorial! Turing is featured on new £50

[@deafdogdesign]

After copying the final pattern again to PS and applying the pattern I notice pixelization (using 300dpi). Can that be fixed?

[@cms4Lena]

Thank you for such a brilliant methods to make this organic pattern. No need to draw by hand, just Ps does all and actions you taught. You are the most outstanding human being to share your knowledge. I did them for Ai and modified colors as well. I will give this link to my friends.

[@PunmasterSTP]

This was really fun to watch. Thank you for sharing!

I have a black drawing and some white letters on top but i want to cut the letters from the drawing, but i cant select them and then erase them from the drawing using the selection like in Photoshop, does someone knows how to select things in ilustrador like in photoshop, like you actually make a selection and not just selecting the object???

[@Espermaschine]

Pathfinder !

[@augustgast]

Nobu Design just made a tutorial for this. Still a great tutorial tho!

[@spoongraphics]

I had just exported my video and opened KZbin to upload it to see Nobu's video right at the top of my homepage! 😆 I just had to leave a comment so it doesn't look like a total rip! At least we both came up with different techniques to create the same effect.

[@David-wi1ou]

I mean Nobu didn't invent the pattern lol...

[@augustgast]

Spoon Graphics Tbh I like your tutorials better :)

[@mefisbautas8041]

You are a magician :)

[@SeamlessTeam]

The other effects(wave, mosaic etc) aren't seamless :'(

[@Tsukikao]

Does the filters (like wave) alter the ability to make a seamless pattern ?

[@bookworm8815]

Wow, was super helpful! Thank you!

[@donbao]

cool! I got it

never disappointed by your videos

[@Tidges01]

Any one who can make this guide but for the Affinity counterparts? :D

[@Salar_Sh]

Take a picture, then apply Gausian blur, then sharpen it, keep doing this and you'll get the same results. In the end sharpen it and save it.

[@Congphongmedia5555]

Verry good

You should save it/export it as an Adobe Illustrator file or .EPS file.
