732 - Power Grid - Pattern

Dots of light like it is view from an airplane.

This seamless texture was illustrated by Patrick Hoesly a Kansas city based illustrator specializing in architectural illustrations and graphic design.

What is a Seamless Texture / Pattern?
A seamless texture is an special image, where one side of a image exactly matches the opposite side, so that the edges blend into each other when repeated. Seamless textures are used for desktop wallpaper, webpage backgrounds, video games, Photoshop fills and in 3D rendering programs.

How did you make it?
This texture was made using software specially designed to aid in seamless texture creation. Some of the programs I’ve use are Photoshop, Illustrator, Filter Forge, Genetica, Image Synth, Alien Skin, Topaz Labs, Imagelys, and even a pen and paper.

    Ummmm... no I didn't secretly add a face into the texture. However You can see the face of Jesus in this photo... www.flickr.com/photos/zooboing/4308691231/

    Gurmokh, if you have time, please add some notes to the drawings pointing out where you see the face, eyes, etc.

    Holy smoke Gurmokh!!! Now I see the face! EeeeGad, my subconscious is to blame! LOL. Thanks for sharing and posting up the notes.

    I think this is one of those great examples of how our brains are wired to find patterns in nature... like seeing images in the clouds! Looking at the texture for a minute longer and I also see a spoon, a car and a tow-truck. LOL

    This is really cool and fun. I also see the face plus a cowboy hat on top of it. There's more to see if you sit back farther. (lol)
