Patterns

Dress faces in tileable patterns like bricks and plaid, at true world scale.

Pattern mode dresses faces the way Fill colors them: pick a pattern, tap a face, and it’s wearing it. Patterns tile at world scale, one tile per grid block, so bricks are the same size on a tiny hut and a huge wall, and nothing ever stretches to fit a face.

Pattern is the second glyph on the Color bar. Tapping it flips the bar to a strip of your patterns and the starters.

Where patterns come from

Patterns are made in the Pattern studio, which lives on the Home screen’s Patterns tab. It’s the same pixel toolset as Paint (brush, pen, dithers, blend ramp) plus a live tiled preview, so you draw one tile and watch it repeat seamlessly. Starter patterns are included, and your own sit right beside them.

Patterns inside Paint

Inside the Paint screen, the ▦ Pattern tool stamps a pattern the way a photo stamps: slide it into place and tap a face.

Patterns also dress diorama walls, floors, and ceilings : the same library, one tile per block there too.
