The program we'll see now is Sosos the app to draw artistic mosaics
I'll show some of the tools
what we see here practically
is a rectangle
we can select all the mosaic
with a simple click we have the rendering
very simple
here it is
very simple switch from real mode to draft mode
we can easily duplicate parts
both using keyboard commands
or menu commands
it is very simple and intuitive
let's see some of the functions
you can
duplicate "andamenti" or groups of tiles, as in this case
again both by keyboard or menu
I select an entire group
or the entire work
as in this case
the decoration
we can flip a part
in a way to have many similar parts repeated
but you can also work on single tiles
we have handles for them
we move all the handles of the tile
let's see an example
we'll change the color who matches a material
the size, the gap... in this case I set 0 gap
I draw a stright line
I can move it using arrows in the keyboard
then we split the line into single tiles
each tile has its handles in the four angles
tiles and groups ca be rotates
very easily pressing a key
and all tiles can be modified
then we have a tool...
which allows us to switch to front/back the tiles
as we can see
and we can duplicate as many times we want a tile or group
here we have another very useful tool in artistic mosaics, the ellipse
which follows perfectly the mosaic rules
then we move it
easily
rotate it
now let's see the Inspector tool
you will know the total number of tiles or andamentis
all immediately updated when you draw
the price, the weights everything is under control
if you want you can also draw directly using rendering mode
let's see another tool the tile transparency mode
we can make every tile transparent to better view the underlying image
let's take a background for a copy example
transparency mode is useful to see
correctly what is underneath
tiles have handles and can be
changed as usual
with a click I can return to color mode
this is another example of Sosos features
we can very quickly crete rosoni
which are very common
I draw a circle with triangle tiles
and I modify the height and size of the triangles
so we can easily reproduce the underlying image
very simply
let's open the final file
here it is
very easy
in rgb color mode
now I zoom in to better see the results
remove the background
and switch to real mode rendering
Thank you!
