Aging a License Plate

[Doug B]

I've spent the last several hours trying to give my drawing the aged look of the actual plate in the attachment. But I can't even come close. Can someone put me on the right track?

You might want to check out Flaming Pear's Super Blade Pro plugin. It's a very nice textureizer that does excellent decayed/rusted/mouldy/metallic/etc. textures. They have a demo as well and it's only $44 USD. Here's the link:

I made several circles and applied stone6gs, after that ellipse transparency, drew a base with the same shape than the original, sent it to back, select all an press Q to apply clip view.
Thats all.

jvila, some questions:

I can't find stone6gs. Where is it?
Do I place the circles/elipses in front of the original?

¡Gracias!

Charlie,
To get the ston6 you have to click on the bucket that says fill gallery next to scisors icon, then choose Stone folder.
About ellipses they are over your drawing.
You must also draw a flat shape identical to the original and send it back (ctrl+B).
I uploaded the .xar file for you, if you want download it and look anything made on it the name of the file is matricula2.xar.
If you need more details don't hesitate and post your questions.
Best regards

I´m uploading a shape with the stone6g for you to be able to use it.
A details I forgot, after you apply the fill you have to change the color of it, you must fill it with brown and black or dark brown, check the matricula2.xar to check the RGB.
A hug from here.

Javier, I knew how to get "stone6," but I was looking for "stone6gs." Was the "gs" a mistake?

By the way, I used your method and found that it works great. My only problem was that I was looking for stone6gs.
