Hi,
Thanks to all who took part in our previous challenge, there were some great ideas to hide the cellphone mast.
This week we have something a bit different. I made this cell like pattern in Adobe Substance 3D Designer. It was for a different purpose and was made with a full set of 3D maps to use as a material. I wondered though what this group could make with the Base Colour map? So here it is. You could use all of it, part of it, or tile it (it was made to tile) and use the extended pattern to make something new.
When you post your response can you add just a few words on how you went about it. It may help others see the potential of different approaches, software, and tools to such a challenge.
The “rules”:
To download the starter image, hover over the image and click on the circle with the arrows at the top right. Then, when the image opens in its own window, right click and choose “Save Image As/Save Target As” (or similar depending on your browser).
When posting back your image — please use the blue reply button in this first post and use the 'Insert Photos' icon at the top of the reply box. If posting a comment on someone else’s entry, then please use the grey reply button next to their image post.
Have fun!

Islands :
I took the image into Substance Designer to invert it and create height and normal maps as well as a recolour. Then I took those maps into Blender 3D and used the height map to create the 'islands'. I added a plane for the ocean, some volumetric 'clouds' and 'mist', then lit and rendered it, before finishing in Photoshop.

hahaha... Like any good virus it's spreading around. 🙂
I suggested looking at the cups to help those looking for the print.

Four baby turtles, lost and curious, swam through a mysterious purple ooze deep beneath the city streets. The air buzzed, the ooze shimmered—and in that glowing moment, everything changed.
They didn’t know it yet, but the “Secret Ooze” was no ordinary slime... it was the beginning of something mutant. :turtle:💥

The story behind the story, Nick. I like it when an idea comes with a bit of a tale. 🙂

Nicely done - what did you use to collapse the pattern to the centre, was it Distort > Pinch?

A row of ten across the image 16% from the top, Polar Coordinates, and lots of CTRL+ALT+Shift+T.
I was getting somewhat frazzled working on this, since I have something similar I did a couple of years ago, but couldn't remember just how I did it. Lots of "Let me try this … Okay, how about THIS … Okay …"

'Lots of "Let me try this … Okay, how about THIS … Okay …"'
I think most of us can identify with that method, John. 🙂
