This tutorial will show you how to create your own felt-like texture. You may use this texture in conjunction with my puffy felt tutorial to create your own puffy felt letters and shapes.
Supplies Required:
Eye Candy 5: Textures
1. Open a new canvas, 600 x 600.
2. Fill the canvas with your choice of a color, gradient or pattern. If you want to make traditional dark green felt use #008000.
3. Open the Animal Fur plugin from Eye Candy 5: Textures and apply the following settings:
PatternPattern Type = Original Image
Draw Outside Selection = Unchecked
Seamless Tile = Checked
Random Seed = Any Number
Hairs
Main Hair Direction = 90
Hair Length = 6.00
Wave Strength = 0
Wave Spacing = 30.00
Stiffness = 0
Lighting
Direction = 120
Inclination = 25
Highlight Brightness = 50
Highlight Size = 50
Highlight Color = White
Shadow Strength = 50
The texture is now complete. The texture can be converted to greyscale for use with my puffy felt tutorial or used as a pattern for an element. I made a flower. You may download this flower and use it, if you wish.
Awesome...thank you for sharing this.
