738 - Terrazzo - Pattern

Image by Patrick Hoesly
Warm rich terrazzo flooring texture. Did you know that terrazzo started off as the poor-mans flooring? It's true. The marble masons would take the waste chips of marble back to their houses and smooth them into a 'cement mixture' and create a rich flooring for their families. Now days, this is a high-end flooring material reserved for bringing out the beauty of a buildings public space.

What is a Seamless Texture / Pattern?
A seamless texture is an special image, where one side of a image exactly matches the opposite side, so that the edges blend into each other when repeated. Seamless textures are used for desktop wallpaper, webpage backgrounds, video games, Photoshop fills and in 3D rendering programs.

How did you make it?
This texture was made using software specially designed to aid in seamless texture creation. Some of the programs I’ve use are Photoshop, Illustrator, Filter Forge, Genetica, Image Synth, Alien Skin, Topaz Labs, Imagelys, and a Wacom tablet.
