Creating texture

Post by Phil »

I've found an interesting wat to create texture. This website will draw quite a variety of grid designs. http://www.incompetech.com/beta/plainGraphPaper/ The attached V-Carve screen shot was created with the diamond trapezoid pattern set to .5 inch with black lines. I copied the image with a "Print Screen" command, used Paint to crop away everything but the grid then convert to a vector with Inkscape. It may sound like a lot of effort but it only takes a minute or two. There are a lot of cool possibilities with this web site.
The web site creates a PDF file but I wasn't able to import it into V-Carve.
