Hello,

I am currently working on a texture for a turtle that will be used on a model in 3ds Max. I am a moderate to expert level user of Photoshop, in my own opinion, but still have much to learn.

My question today is this. Is there a way to create an image and then use the brush to recreate it randomly over and over again on a canvas? This question is in regards to the scales I am making for the turtle texture. The brush has a whole slew of tools for changing the size, orientation, and scattering of the brush so I was wondering if it is possible to use my scale image with it somehow?

I have attempted to use the pattern stamp tool but it spaces them so far apart and there is no control like you get with the brush tool. For now I will manually place them, but I am still curious if what I want to do is possible and would appreciate any help.

I am using Photoshop CS3.

Regards,

Frank
