I only used it on a small picture and then bumped it.

Gmic Turing maybe?

Not Turing, Truchet.

Definitely looks like the Turing pattern to me.

I looked up turing patterns as I was not sure but that is what is looks like to me, also.

It also looks like it could be some kind of Brain Coral like pattern?

Congratulations to those who said turing

Actually it's in gimp under render > pattern and there are 4 types.

Thanks Sallyanne, I was wrong about it being in Gmic. Actually I found a Turing in Gmic after updating but cant find a Turing under Render/Patterns in Gimp2.8.16 so, now I'm confused.

It's an old GIMP plugin. Want to say that either Graechan or samj compiled it as a 64-bit plugin but too lazy to try to find it at the moment (but, if memory serves me correctly, they posted it here. Of course, the 32-bit plugin still works as well.

Thanks Lylejk. Can someone tell me what it's called,please.

Thanks MareroQ, unfortunately that is Windows only, I am on Linux. Also the Turing in Gmic doesn't work. It produces a black screen no matter what your background colour or transparent layer. I only tried the default settings, though. Compiling from source appears to be the only option and it's written in c. I have enough trouble with python.

I have finally updated to 2.8.18 (maybe 16 doesn't have it)
Oh and mine is Windows

Turing pattern is not a default gimp pattern and needs to be installed from where Samj posted it, MareroQ has posted the link

Example of turning pattern used on text↓

Graechan · **Posted:** Thu Aug 18, 2016 8:56 pm **(#17)**

another good plugin for filling text and backgrounds is 'Waves of Chaos' posted by Samj Here

Thanks Graechan, Unfortunately I only have Linux Mint 18, and they are Windows only plugins. Unless someone can compile it for Linux I won't be using it.

sallyanne · **Posted:** Fri Aug 19, 2016 2:13 am **(#19)**

Here is a mandela I have done using this pattern

Maybe I didn't notice it before :oops:
