lechatnoir731 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Hello everyone. I am new to paint.net and I am having trouble creating textures that look like latex/pvc. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdnnoob Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Textures like that are all about the shine. Add a new layer and, with the line tool, draw the shine on your object where appropriate. Use a slight gaussian blur so it isn't too shiny, then play with the layer properties until you get something you like.

david.atwell Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 pdnnoob is absolutely correct. And remember that the reflection is going to look different depending on the shape of the object and the source of the light; for instance, take a look at this pipe*: See how the reflections are long lines along the object? Similarly, a sphere will have points of reflection, while a flat surface like a cube will have a near-total reflection on the side closest to the light. *In all my life, I can honestly say I never expected to say those words.

DrewDale Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Just my luck that my daughter came into the room as I google imaged latex and pvc. The shake of the head was not good. The "MUM" was even worse Quality 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbieq25 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Welshy I can just picture it & I can hear the MUM! Remember also that colour absorb the surrounding colours too. So that someone wearing a blue shirt may have a blue reflection on the skin too. Or a white pipe on a timber plank may have a brownish reflection near where the 2 surfaces meet. Not an easy task. Googling lots of other similar images may be the way to go as Welshy did - take heed though, you never know what you might find. 1 Quote Knowledge is no burden to carry.

The "MUM" was even worse As well as the 2 above advices - gradients are your friend too. PVC is never a flat colour with white shine, there's varying shades as per reflection/shade mentioned above I'm intrigued what you want it for I recently started making clothing on a game I play. ty everyone for all the responses, very helpful. xxxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
