Hi @Null and welcome. The above plugin works beautifully. Just remember to put your strip on a much larger transparent background. I downloaded your strip and enlarged the canvas to 1000 x 1000 with transparency. Good luck! 🙂

Thank you @Pixey 🤗 I thought it was time to retire my kitty since he's been gone almost 4 years now. We are going to start looking for a kitty next month. I've been 'baby-sitting' my grandson's kitty for 2 months and he's due to go home by the end of the month.

Day of the GREEN is here again!

Welcome to the forum @dorothygarcia31 😊 You could also use this plugin:

Welcome @sherrythegreat I don't know how proficient you are at PDN but your request can also be achieved by using @MJW's Height map plugins. You would need to read through them thoroughly. Here's what I did in a few minutes. I made a separate file with the text on it. Then I downloaded a black tube silhouette. I separated the cap from the body and used Texture Object Rounder on both. I then smoothed the image layers with Texture Smoother. Then I used Texture Shader to apply the text to the tube. There is quite a learning curve with these plugins but it's definitely worth it! Good luck! 😊

Hi and welcome @rogiebear How about making your 'flourish' and angling it so you can exactly erase half of it? Then duplicate the half you have and flip the layer horizontally. You would have to experiment some but it might be a solution. I made this quickly so I know my upper line is too thick. Maybe some slightly different settings will give you what you want. Good luck! Maybe someone else here has a better solution. 😊

Way to go @Ego Eram Reputo! 👍 😊 My pastel lynxster planet 🤣

Congrats @Pixey! This object was very intriguing...so many different ways to achieve it. I used Shape 3D with a pattern I made, then used Grid Warp to give it a slightly 'lumpy' appearance. Thank you to all for the votes! 😊 I thought your 2nd place pillow was great Pixey! 👍

Congrats @Pixey! Both your rugs are beautiful. Well done. 💖

I've never really played with this plugin. I saw it, also, as an organizational tool for diagrams, etc...but, I'm loving the heart! (as I see @barbieq25 did) Thank you @Ego Eram Reputo! 🥰
