How to make a vortex with a pattern?

[danielb]

I have been trying this for weeks in different methods, not sure if I should use PS or AI.
How do I create a vortex with a pattern?
Simmilar to this

First test using "polar cordinates"

Thanks for the reply, the thing with polar cordinates is that it is warping the pattern image itself, so each individual part of the pattern gets new properties that are different from a vortex kind of effect... With polar cordinates it warps the shapes towards the end of the circle (the outer rim)
I am trying to make the pattern do the following, go from small to big in a circular form where the small is in the middle and the big is outside.
Here is another example of the effect I am trying to achive, look at the old tattoo made of hexagons in the middle:

Here is another example of what polar cordinates does to the pattern, notice the outer rim, the triangles have warped completley..
I replyed with more detail in the reply under this one..

Hello and welcome to PSG.

This is simple. It works better to go from large to small.

Create a pattern (circular).


Duplicate the pattern.
Enter Free Transform, hold Opt/Alt + Cmd/Cntrl and use a corner handle to reduce and rotate.


Hit enter to accept the change.
Then use Step and Repeat.
Press and Hold.............Shift + Opt/Alt + Cmd/Cntrl + hit the T key as many times as needed.


Done

Edit: This one is not geometric, but as a quick example, you get the idea.

I understand... but in my opinion if you want that exact result you have to do it manually... step by step i'm afraidd.Unless there's is something i dont know.

In the time i write this lame explanation Iamsam made and excellent tutorial ahahaha.
