Let's give you a detailed analysis of the quick creation of seamless stitching patterns.
Tutorial sharing:
In AI, the creation of a simple pattern is very simple. You just need to draw a graph and drag it to the swatches panel. Just like this.
Now, try to draw a rectangle.
Check that the operation is successful. However, such a simple image can easily tell that the mechanical repetition does not look bright enough. If there is a background image, the following stitching gap may appear:
Next I will show you how to create a complex pattern that is seamlessly spliced, and it is not easy for others to see the basic unit of splicing.
1. First draw the most basic pattern unit.
The repetition of patterns is the basis for other people to discover the basic unit. Therefore, the main way to prevent others from discovering the basic unit is to intentionally create several duplicates in the basic unit to make them false.
2. Press ctrl + U to enable smart capture.
Select all images and use the arrow tool to select the point in the upper left corner of the rectangle. A text prompt is displayed. Press ctrl and drag to the right. Note: You must put it at the right point to let it go. AI will help you absorb the vertex.
3. Copy one at the top of the left. These replications aim to create a continuous graph link at the edge.
4. Now select and delete all images that do not have any intersection with the border!
5. The most critical step has been taken. Select the rectangle of the background. Ctrl-C/ctrl-B: copy it and put it to the end. Do not cancel the selection and set the fill color to colorless. Note that the fill color and outline are both colorless.
This step can't be seen, but it is a key operation-the AI manufacturing seamless stitching image needs to be placed behind a colorless, non-contour rectangle.
This rectangle is used as a mask to hide unnecessary content outside the rectangle.
6. Select All and drag it to the pattern panel. In this way, the new graph will appear in the panel.
7. Pull another rectangle and select the newly created pattern. Ha! A new seamless stitching image was born! Pretty ?!
All right, the above information is a detailed tutorial on the quick creation of seamless stitching patterns for all the users of Illustrator's software, you can see the users here. I believe you are very clear about the production tutorial, so you can follow the tutorial of the small editor to try the effect.
