Hello folks,

I'm trying to fill curved shape with tiled image. I'm able to scale and move that image, but I'd also like to rotate it by specified angle. If I rotate it before tiling, I'll get the ugly white space between tiles.

Is there a way to change the rotation of tiles?

Thanks in advance,

Jan Odvarko

tile your patches first to a large image, then rotate, then apply the mask(s)

Fred is right. Tile to a canvas that is large enough, then overlay OR mask what you need.

But you can use distort to generate a rotated tiled canvas of whatever size you like.

(It can even tile animated tiles!)

The final canvas size can be set using viewport as shown in the 'distort' technique in..

It does not need to be just rotated tiles either, but sheared, or even perspective tiles!

and an unusual 'bilinear curved' tiling...

Thank you very much, this helped me a lot!
