Additional scripted patterns

Hi all,

I am the developer of the Deco scripting engine that is used to create scripted patterns in Photoshop CS6. I would like to continue the interesting discussions and exchange of patterns and images that many of you started on the pre-release forum.

If you go to the following page (link) you can get a brief overview of how to add new scripted patterns to Photoshop CS6. Check out a few Deco scripts that create boundary patterns. The size of the boundary depends on the width

of the input pattern – you want a wider boundary, create a wider pattern.

Feel free to ask me any questions related to pattern scripting.

Enjoy,

Radomir

I have uploaded what I think is the first scripted pattern fill on the adobe exchange. (please correct me if there are others)

Or a direct download to the script (just move it into the Presets/Deco folder):

It places the pattern blocks in a herringbone pattern. Works best with non-square source patterns.

I haven't seen any new scripted patterns in the last year. Were there any posted out there that I missed?

NIce, James! Good to see someone else creating some Deco scripts!

Been busy with lot of other things, but I did just do an image of Russell Brown at Photoshop World that I put through my scripted pattern script with a reference to the original image. I know you're not suppose to use company logos, but since this was Russell, I used the Adobe logo for my pattern. You can see the image on my G+ site:

So nice of you to start this. It's been an interesting journey watching the scripting patterns. I haven't played with them for a while, but find them to be a lot of fun. Look forward to this starting up.

Remember one of the patterns I liked was the cross stitching of photos stuff people were coming up with. I wasn't able to recreate that effect. But would like to explore that again.

Thanks for the link to the lab also. Jumping over there to explore.

Thank you.

One question, though:

Scripted Patterns are part of Photoshop and not just am offering from the Labs?

I just want to make sure that I can expect continued support because Pixel Bender support has been abandoned with CS6 and some users seem quite irate about that.

Scripted patterns are part of Photoshop and my goal is to continue supporting it. Scripted patterns do not depend on a specific hardware configuration thus they won't get stale as Pixel Bender where you need to keep updating it for rapidly changing graphics cards.

Wow, lots of scripts so little time...sorry, I have not been able to test any of these yet. Such a busy season for me but hopefully I'll be getting some down time soon to get going with these and have some scripting fun again. Thanks again Radomir ! Can't wait !

Hi all,

I updated my page http://www.adobe.com/technology/projects/DecoScriptedPatternsInPhotoshop.html and added Richard's scripts for placing pattern along a path and creating symmetric plane fills. Both scripts have a user interface. Check them out!

Thanks for offering your attention and pointing us to that site, Radomir!

I haven’t looked into Scripted Patterns much yet, but it’s good to know where to look for details.

I worked on a script that copies a pattern image along a path with a few options to adjust spacing, rotation and scaling. I did most of the code that determines the placement of the pattern elements; the GUI and script-to-script communication was mostly done by others.

This script is more of a prototype than a finished product. My part of the code is a bit messy and unoptomized. I have not added anything to the script recently.

Installation instructions are included in the zip file.

Nice example, David. I like the slight jitter to the leaves and the vine shape looks good. Haven't had a chance to do too much with the scripts recently as I'm trying to get some other projects done, but I do want to look more closely at the path script. I must admit that it's always a bit confusing looking at someone else's script and trying to figure out how things work.
