We're going to use a cool tiling background, Politan.jpg (shown upper left) from Gary Bouton's new Tilers Page . Tilers is two sets of 50 cool images, and bump maps, that can be purchased from this site for $US 19.95 per set. Here's the cool part. You don't have to buy the texture for this month's tutorial, because Gary, being the Grand Master Xealot that he is, has made five samples from each collection (shown here) available FREE. You can't beat that. So click on the link (or this link), download your free sample Tilers, and then let's get crackin.
