Tesserae v1.0

[NomBot 42]

I know mosaic effects have been done before, but hopefully this one is different enough that someone will find it useful.

Uses path brush settings.

 

 

(Found under Artistic)

User Interface:

Control size: Sliders determine average size of tiles in pixels. Otherwise they determine how many tiles across and down.
Tesserae across & Tesserae down: will also affect image due to changes in sampling.
lock: when selected, the above sliders will be locked together.
Tile irregularity: variation from square tiles to more irregular.
Cement Thickness: pixel width between tiles.
Cement Color: color between tiles.
Reseed: generates new random tile shapes
Blend Factors/Positions: These affect the path brush, Something to experiment with.
AntiAlias: Does what it says, hopefully

Here's an example of a more abstract effect with different brush settings:

Thank you, @NomBot !  This has some very different 'options' to choose from.  It will def come in handy!       

 

 

 

EDIT:  Boy, the more I play with this plugin, the more I like it!  I have some ideas already swirling in my head.
