Creating Textures and Tiles in Peacock

Abstract

Peacock was initially designed to create patterns and effects for Phoenix, and it has powerful tools for creating these patterns and textures. The program has many uses. For example, If you develop websites, you can create a seamless tile in Peacock for repeating across a page’s background. Peacock is also a perfect application for creating textures for three-dimensional (3D) modeling applications. Of course, you can also render patterns for use in your Phoenix images. With a good knowledge of the parameters and the Seamless hub, you can create tiled images; Tile, Repeat, and even the AutoPainter hubs offer tools to arrange these textures. Peacock is powerful, but it can be difficult to use for those starting out with computer graphics. In this chapter, we go over some simple examples so that you can quickly master this graphic powerhouse.
