Tile Square

[Gad Eko Hendro H]

Hello everyone,

I'm back with SA 5.0...with so many question also :)
I just tried to make a mosaic with Basic Image Tile Preset. But when I tried to touch up the setting, nothing happen, Except when I change the source of folder image. 
And when I see the result, the tile become rectangle; not square. How can I change it ?

(You can see on my attached picture)

And this is happen when I use the landscape picture format (the rectangle square, turn to landscape)

Yes, it's working exactly like you would expect a region fill as brush pen mode preset that is using path start regionization to work.

The new V5 get info option for paint presets is a good way to quickly understand how i paint preset is programmed.

So it tells you right away that Path Start Regionization is on. And that the Pen Mode is Region Fill as Brush.

For more detail, you can check out all of the individual Editor control panels for the preset.

There are a bunch of 'basic tile' named paint presets in V5. If you are using 'Basic Image Folder Tiling', note that it is a region fill as brush pen mode preset that is using the Rect Tile HV Split Regionize Generator option in the Path Start control panel. And a Path Start Regionize option for the Path Type in the Path Shape control panel. So, a typical path start regionization preset.

So, because of above, the individual images in the folder are mapped to the tiling positions and shapes created by the path start regionize generator. This has always been the case with path start regionize paint presets, V5 just has many, many more Generator options for regionizing than V4 did.

I think your conceptual problem is that because you saw the word 'tiling' in the preset name, you assumed it was going to work like a tiling paint preset that lays down tiles based on the shape of the Brush Source. But that is not the case when working with any region fill as brush pen mode preset. Region fill as brush pen mode means that the Brush Source is a temporary region created on the fly for each individual paint nib based on the path shape, not the normal paint process where a series of brush nibs is laid down one by one along the paint path.

Here's a tip that explains about path start regionization, in case you are confused.

So, what should I change to get a box tile? 

Can I start things without going through a preset? 

Since I used Studio Artist I did choose one preset and make a change. 
Because I do not know where to start if I have to create my own preset, without using the existing 
preset

Your a V4 user, right? So just load one of your V4 paint presets that do a basic grid tile that uses a 1 pixel path length and a normal pen mode that lays down a single brush nib. If that's what you want to do. All of your old V4 presets run in V5, same for older ones as well.

You can always start from scratch if you want to without using a paint preset. Drop into the Editor, shift press the init button at the bottom to reinitialize all of the control panels, then start editing. You don't have to re-initialize everything, but it's usually easier if you want to start from scratch.

version 5. Can you show me with pictures?

Here's a simple preset attached below from V3.5 and V4 that tiles using a movie brush. You can edit it to use an image folder brush if you want to. If you do that, you want all of the images in the folder to be the same size in pixels for the tiling to work properly.
