Fill with Textures

[HankP]

So, I have used other software in the past that let's you use the Fill feature to fill an area with repeating tile images.  For example, one pattern for a wood floor or another for flagstone.  You could even create your own "tile" image files and use them.  I cannot find such a feature in PDN, but y'all are so darned creative in coding the add-ins, that I thought maybe someone has made something like this.

 

I am doing a map, and ideally it would be cool if someone has created a palette of topographic symbols (mountain, desert, forest, etc), but I suspect that this is just too much to hope!

 

Thanks.

Take a look at the tutorial Patterns - it's very simple!.  Perhaps it will be useful for you.
