Back in the day I did a tutorial for placing text on a background of corrugated metal.
I tested my memory to see how much of it I remembered roughly 3 years on.
This method removed the need to re-shape the text and instead using a font that blends into the repeating fill background,
making the whole exercise a lot simpler.
I also made use of the transparency blending Overlay mode that wasn't available at the time on a grunge background.
Those were the days and I for one sure miss 'em.
Bob.
I remember that tutorial Bob, it was a good one. I decided to have a play with the new blending modes and opacity masking to and see just how photo realistic I could get. I also added in rust which wasn't in your original tut.
I've included my .xar file for anyone who wants to have a look or dissect it. :)
Note: this was created in DP V12 (365) while the file will open in older versions features of newer versions will be ignored.
Wow, that rust looks really good!
Thanks Boy
that's a good drawing you did there
could easily mistake it for a photo
the rust is really well done
the text is a bit orange but otherwise very cool image
now just to get the spelling of corrugated right...
