The course is available on Packt and Udemy.
Applying Existing Materials to a Canvas
- All materials > Monochromatic pattern > Basic
- applying directly a material to a canvas creates a new material layer
- use the eraser to erase (it works by creating a layer mask)
Using Quick Tones
- select an area
- use the New Tone button on the selection tool bar
- Size and Factor are available only for the Noise type
- If there are tones with the same settings, combine them into one
- checked: create only one layer for each tone settings and modify the mask when filling new selections with the same tone
- unchecked: every time you fill the selection with a tone, create a new tone layer
Drawing and Saving a Custom Material
- draw an argyle:
- use polyline and rectangle selection and fill with color for big shapes
- use a Figure > Polyline for the dashed lines
- merge all layers and export as a material
- apply the material to a selection or layer
Using Mesh Transformation to Apply Realistic Fabric Patterns
- use multiple areas to provide multiple distortions
- make a selection larger than your final area that needs to be covered
- fill the selection with your pattern
- rasterize the pattern layer
- select the image (not the mask) and use the Edit > Transform > Mesh transformation… tool to make the pattern match the form of the object it is applied to
- remove the pattern outside the object by tweaking the layer mask
