Illustrator :: How To Create A Graffiti Style Digital Stencil
Dec 29, 2012
I am attempting to create a street art style stencil graphic to put on a t-shirt using Illustrator (note, not an actual stencil for spray painting, just the visual effect of one). I was able to make something similar in photoshop, but pixelation issues lead me to attempt a vector style graphic. The overlying "stencil" image is a complex vector object and the underlying "paint" layer is a series of semi-transparent paint splatter vector groups to get a more textured effect. I am doing it this way because, I have not been able to find any graffiti style brushes that work the same way as those in photoshop. The problem I am having is that when I attempt to make a clipping mask of these objects to be left with just the desired "paint" areas, there is a message about the complexity of this operation, and the result is total disappearance of all the objects, except for their paths. better way to get a vector graffiti stencil effect with texture?
I have had a request for a wallpaper similar to this dont worry this is just a mock up but I cant find a graffiti font that makes it stand out. preferably a solid face font. the job is very specific to have graffiti font. So if you know any that are not on dafont.com let me know. She has browsed the web looking and is not happy with any.
Maybe 2.8 has this option already, ive already downloaded just not installed it. i plan on doing it when ive finished this little personal project im working on.
Im having trouble finding anyway to assign a layer as a layer mask.
this all started because i want to create a gray scale bump map of my texture map. so i duplicated it and decompose it into separate RGB gryscale layers and the alpha layer.
problem is, the alpha is no longer the alpha. what i ideally would like, is to combine the alpha with which ever combination of the channels i decide to use. then paste that back into my original file as the bump map.... so far not having luck
Is there a way to create a "master" numbering style (say, a number in a filled circle) to annotate an image of something else? I know there are technical drawing suites that do this, but was hoping that there was a way in illustrator (or indesign) Attached image shows the result im going for (yes I know I can do this manually, looking for an optimized way of doing it).
How to create an file with graphs and tables (instruction manual) in one language and create afterwards many different linked copies where just the language should be manually changed? While editing the original (graphs etc..) the copies now should change the same way except the language.
Is it possible to have one line (or path) automatically create a jump or gap when it crosses another line (or path). I am trying to switch from using MS Visio to Illustrator, and this is a basic Visio feature as seen here [URL]....
How can create Office 2013 flat icon style with AI CS6?What is technique that used for it? [Like use "Pen Tool" with 2px strok size for divide or .... ]
I am trying to create a graphic style that will give me a frame that has the 3d rounded effect. Bevel and Extrude isn't what I am looking for... I have a pic here with a bevelled edge effect, but it has a flat surface...and I want it to look round...
I need to create a 16 bits test pattern to be used in Digital Cinema. I have downloaded Gimp 2.9 beta that I understand can handle 16bits pictures.
It's a simple test chart, I need to select some colors when drawing white and Red Green Blue shapes. However when I try to select a color, I cannot select anything more than 255.
I want to select around some text, so i just have the text and nothing else. Is there an easier way to select it instead of going round it with the lasso tools?
Is there a way to create realtime updated Digital Copies of drawings? Our File Structure has our base drawings in one folder and our Plot Drawings in another folder.
The reason why I ask this is for lower draftsman Who should not be changing anything in the drawing. The people above me want to create drawings with all the sheets setup on layout tabs in One drawing.
Basically just having our Existing Site/Topography as separate files x-reffed into our Proposed Site.
I have Boris Graffiti 5.2 and would like to run it from Corel VS ProX4. which folder in the VS ProX4 directory I should install the plugin file. During installation of Graffiti 5.2 I chose the "plugin" folder but this does not appear in the VS ProX4 workspace. I understand from video tutorials that Graffiti 5.2 locates itself in the FX panel. The plugin file has a .prm extension.
I'm working on an image, and in it, theres a sideview of a building, see that image here The bulindg right behind the guys, I want to add some graffiti like type to it. Like type something, then make it look like it was sprayed on there, not just typed.
I am a PS specialist, and former Ai user. My format is mac. I'm saving as EPS and PDF. My work gets imported to a pc running Ai and RIPP software. We are having problems with letters and etc. that don't show up, and also with objects staying as rectangles instead of letters and picts. Also need to know how to make the outline/cutting lines which control the plotter.
Does it hurt my file to design in PS and save as EPS and then import into Ai?
Stumbled across these t-shirt designs with stencil effects and would love to know how this is created! I have some photos of my sister's daughter and I'd like to give her a t-shirt for Xmas with her pic on!
lets say youve got a stencil and when your spraying paint you're a bit messy and it goes over the edges of your stencil, which is rectangular. Does anyone understand?
how to get teh effect of overspray using photoshop?
The image below has been touched up (i have cleaned up the lines with the "line/curve tool"), and even redrawn some lines.As you can see, the background is white. How to use the background (all the white) as a "stencil". this way i can use a bold brush to "airbrush" some shading and shadows onto her body, without having to worry about it spraying outside of the lines. i know it can be done, i have done it myself in fact, i just can't remember how. I have the plug-in called "isolate lineart", just FYI.
I'm trying to do a black stencil over a photo. To do a black layer is easy. To do transparent shapes in that layer thus creating a stencil is easy as well. But here is my challenge...
Creating Letter Stencils. See-through transparent letters, so the picture is seen only through the letters... I don't seem to be able to choose Transparent Letters to write on the black canvas.
we started working in a project in Revit 2013 and at one point we decided to export all drawings to Autocad . I have a huge problem , the Text we used in Revit was Architxt but in Autocad it shows all the text in Ariel font and AutoCad won't let me change it to Architxt again, so far it is fine I can deal with that. the problem is I tried to create a new Architxt text style in Autocad but it shows as Arial font. now all my our projects are missed up , the text shows in Arial font.
