circular check problem

[crescs]

Hi

I am trying to turn a black and white checkered line into a circular shape in photoshop. Can anyone help:question:

Hey, If your looking to make your checkered shaped into a more spherical shape...

I made this tut a while back, but it may help you with what you need.

make a square canvas, place your checkered line in that, so that the edges reach the sides of the canvas, and is 1 pixel above the bottom of your canvas
then do filter>distort>polar coördinates, rectangular to polar done
example:

This is the type of thing i am trying to do.

Hi crescs,

I just created a square document for centering purposes. I then created a rectangle. Centered it using command + A > move tool alignment icons. Duplicated it 8 times. Rotated each one in 12% increments using command + T to transform, rotate. Once all eight were rotated I combined them, duplicated them, and rotated them to complete the wheel. I duplicated the wheel, one for the outer bands and one for the inner offset bands

The rest was just creating circles with the Elliptical Marquis tool, centering them, and deleting and or adding.

The offset bands were created from the remaining wheel and circles used to delete areas, then rotated the same way, command + T to transform, rotate.

Brilliant! Many thanks.

Thanks, a new idea (for me) I was toying with, I will have to work on them in the future to make them a little better.
