I was wondering about how to make a pattern fill out of an image i've created in Photoshop 7. I can't find any way to save an image as a .PAT, so if anyone can help, i'd be greatful.

Simple, just select the layer (your image) and apply a pattern to it using styles. I might be wrong, ill get a screenie to clarify it.

No, I didn't explain myself well enough. I meant how do I create a new pattern fill out of an image that I already have.

Another patterns question: Is it possible for me to possition my pattern by rotating it in some way after I've already applied it?

Can't you just use edit/transform/rotate and make a new pattern out of the applied one?

n.b. Pressing shift will constrain your rotations and resizing.

Yes, that was the only thought that occured to me, but I figured if there was a short cut... Thanks anyway.

And now: what program do I need to open .rar sound files in?

Xui'al · Post by **Xui'al** » Fri Oct 14, 2005 2:34 pm

.rar sound files? Rar is a compression format similar to .zip. Use Winrar, or PowerArchiver to open the .rar, and from there your sound files should be sitting happily in the .rar.

Doh. Obviously WinRAR. Or any other archiver out there for that matter...

Uh, I never needed it before, so I have no idea about what it does. Does WinRar come free with Windows on your pc, or do I have to buy/download it?

You need to DL it. www.rarlabs.com It's 30 day trial but after 30 days you'll just have to close a reminder to register and can continue to use it.

Thanks. Now, new question. Somehow I really screwed my controls in max, and now the little colored directional arrows that show you the XYZ coordinates are gone. Same with the scale and rotate options. When I try to move or scale something I can only move or scale it in one direction. Does anybody who knows max have any idea on how I can get my settings back to normal? I really need to figure this out, as I can't model anything until I do. Thanks.

Customize -> Preferences -> Gizmos tab, and check the on box.

And yet another! (I'm full of em') How do you change the grid size in max? I have a very short grid on the Y axis, but it goes off into infinity on the X axis. I already tried Customize -> Snap and Grid Settings -> Home Grid but it's not changing. Help?

Teli · Post by **Teli** » Tue Oct 18, 2005 5:00 pm

Hmm .. Sorry, but if Snap and Grid Settings didn't work, I'm outta ideas. Try [url=http://www.google.com]Google?[/url]
