miniverse – TilingPattern

 

Final PRODUCT

 

Process

I did a body horror truchet tiling.

Here’s how I made the tiles on procreate. I used the drawing guide and made a layer with a grid showing where lines should connect for each tile. Then I made a set of tiles and exported them as transparent PNGs. (there are 16 truchet tiles but only a few unique tiles which can then be rotated to produce the others in the set)

Import the PNG to illustrator and use Window > Image Trace with the preset line art. Expand the outline and save the SVG.

I used Golan’s truchet sketch on p5 as the code and swapped out the drawTile() with something that’ll display the appropriate SVG from the tile set.
