Objects, Alphas, and Tiling...

This is one of what I call 'End Of The Day' images...I do piles of these, and usually I don't post them...I'm violating the norm here, because I think this might come in handy for people making textures or surface decorations...
Here's the process...
:b2: I made the 'gold' object you see...
:b2: I 'grabbed' the Alpha...
:b2: I created a Stencil from it...Then I created a tiled stencil with Daves' Tiler.
:b2: I painted through the Stencil...
:b2: I inverted the Stencil, and painted the background...
:b2: I added the tool, with snapshot, and move...

I think you might want to check this process out, because I think it has a lot of possibilities... ;)

Oh, and here's a detail of the original object, done with mask and offset on a 3D Circle...
