Looking for software

[tct70]

Hi,

I'm looking for a piece of software that will take the bucket fill feature of MS Paint to the next level. Basically I want to import a line drawing (in some form of bitmap or jpeg) and bucket fill areas as I can in paint. However I want to be able to fill with paterns/bitmaps for wood, floor tiles, worktops etc. These patters should be both scaleble and rotateable. Ideally I'd like to have a library of fills to use.

In essence I want to take a bitmap of a kitchen perspective view and add finishes to the doors, worktops, floor.

Anyone have any suggestions.

Thanks

You might want to look at a program like Piranesi. It allows you to export 3d information out of max and texture it after the fact. It's pretty cool, but there is a learning curve.

You can define your own tileable patterns in Photoshop and then paint them in. I'll usually color in the areas with a base layer set to multiply over my b/w linework and then link a layer above it with the tiled pattern; you can then scale, rotate, etc the pattern.
