How To Create Seamless Turing Patterns (Photoshop & Illustrator Tutorial)

Рет қаралды 56,050

Күн бұрын

Today I'm going to show you how to create a series of detailed, organic patterns, which have become generally known as 'Turing Patterns'. Based on the research into reaction-diffusion patterns in nature by mathematician Alan Turing, these graphics are made up of intricate stripes, spots, and spirals. I'll show you how a clever 3-step process in Photoshop can be used to create the effect, then I'll explain how you can convert the patterns into seamlessly repeating patterns for use in Photoshop and Illustrator.

You have one of the best tutorials for turing patterns I've seen! I appreciate the mix of auditory explanations rather than just captions, and you go slow enough for me to absorb it. Already subscribed awhile back, or else I would again. :)

Hey Chris, apply the x10 action to a small black circle on white background and watch it grow in an organic pattern. Like burning wood with electricity.

can u explain this more?

@photobackflip 2 жыл бұрын

@@toomuchtime5050 Not really much more to explain? Do the tutorial. When finished use the "Repeat x10" action on a white layer that has a small black circle circle. Play around with the size of the circle to get different effects. Try having no fill and a black stroke too. So just a black ring. Then change the stroke width to tweak effect. Have fun!

Hello Cris. Thanks for sharing this great tutorial. Please, can you help me? I am with struggles. When i do the "zoom out and crop the image", ( at 4:13 ) my image doesn't appears like a small object, on the center of the thumbnail of each layer. Can you please tell me why this occurs?

I am stumped. I have just done this tutorial 4 times in a row but i get a clearly visible seam, every time. I get the impression that my image trace nudges the images ever so slightly but i can't get a repeating pattern done. V frustrating.

I have a black drawing and some white letters on top but i want to cut the letters from the drawing, but i cant select them and then erase them from the drawing using the selection like in Photoshop, does someone knows how to select things in ilustrador like in photoshop, like you actually make a selection and not just selecting the object???

Imposible to make the pattern 😞 when i put the design near the original.. It doesn't fix. What can i do? Can I create a pattern in other size like 138x100?

@j3y3k70 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the Vid but when I copy from Ps to Ai, the rectangle is not exactly 1024 which makes it impossible to make a Perfectly seamless pattern even after adjustments. Anyone knows why? Thanks! (The issue is even after adjusting the copy to 1024px when click on Object>Pattern>Make there's always some decimals after 1024. I resize it to 1024x1024 but there's a space on the edges - Adobe is giving me pains for simple pattern making smh)

I've tried this multiple times now and I can't create a seamless pattern in Illustrator. It's like the copies are just slightly misaligned.

@jakeellis4969 4 жыл бұрын

The problem seems to occur when tracing, if I tile the pattern manually in PhotoShop it repeats, but when I apply the trace function in Illustrator all the elements in the pattern appear to shift position out of the bounding box

Take a picture, then apply Gausian blur, then sharpen it, keep doing this and you'll get the same results. In the end sharpen it and save it.

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:40 🖌️ *Create a new document in Adobe Photoshop with a size of 1024 by 1024 pixels for the reaction diffusion process.* 01:34 🔄 *Use Photoshop actions to quickly apply the reaction diffusion effect multiple times, creating a Turing pattern.* 03:14 🧩 *Duplicate and arrange cloud layers in Photoshop to seamlessly repeat the Turing pattern, then convert it to a vector pattern in Illustrator.* 04:30 🔄 *Copy the vector pattern from Illustrator back to Photoshop for a smoother raster version, and save it as a pattern for future use.* 06:15 🌈 *Enhance the pattern by experimenting with additional effects like motion blur, ripple, and mosaic filters in Photoshop.* Made with HARPA AI
