mottoman Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I am trying to make a background that looks like polystyrene. I have looked at the textures section of the tutorials, but can't seem to find something that resembles it. Is there a plugin or method that I could try in order to get what I want. I know I could use google to search for a texture, but I would prefer to make my own. Something like the attatched image. Thank you in advance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbieq25 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Hmmm...what about this tute Not sure if the required plugins work with 4.0 but perhaps some of the ideas may spark a new way of thinking about the problem? Post #7 looks rather interesting. 2 Quote Knowledge is no burden to carry. April Jones, 2012 Gallery My DA Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mottoman Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 Thank you Barbieq. I will look into that tutorial. I am not using V4 as yet, so it should be worth a try. Again thank you 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoltBait Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 YM, nice work. Looks like a little bit of cell texture mixed with bevel selection...

yellowman Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Looks like there is some other ways to create that , But this was my long method: You need Splinter plugin: http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/18811-ed-harvey-effects-v-35-2012-02-13/ 1- Cloud default 2- Crystalize 12 3- Outline default (Effect > Stylize > Outline) 4- Auto Level several times till you see all black lines clearly 5- Gaussian Blue default 6- Splinter Blur (Splinters= 50, Distance= 3, Mode=Lighten) 7- Duplicate layer, Zoom it in to Double size the cells (or as taste), and set the blend mode to Multiply 8- Adjustment > Brightness= -100, Contrast= -50 9- Flatten Image and run Emboss with desired Angle (Effect > Stylize > Emboss) Good Luck 5 Quote My GalleryMy YouTube Channel "PDN Tutorials" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mottoman Posted May 15, 2014 Author Share Posted May 15, 2014 Many thanks yellowman Should step #8 be the last step after the emboss stage ? (that's what I did) Again I thank you 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJW Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Thanks yellowman for this method. That's a texture I've tried to achieve but could never quite get right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cc4FuzzyHuggles Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 (edited) This thread is outdated, but it would be nice to see that mini tut over in the tutorial section. (unless it is there and I missed it?)I didn't follow the tutorial myself yet, but this is what it makes, right? If so, I like it. http://forums.getpaint.net/uploads/monthly_05_2014/post-53052-0-38396600-1400093081.jpg Looks like there is some other ways to create that ,But this was my long method:You need Splinter plugin:http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/18811-ed-harvey-effects-v-35-2012-02-13/1- Cloud default2- Crystalize 123- Outline default (Effect > Stylize > Outline)4- Auto Level several times till you see all black lines clearly5- Gaussian Blue default6- Splinter Blur (Splinters= 50, Distance= 3, Mode=Lighten)7- Duplicate layer, Zoom it in to Double size the cells (or as taste), and set the blend mode to Multiply8- Adjustment > Brightness= -100, Contrast= -509- Flatten Image and run Emboss with desired Angle (Effect > Stylize > Emboss)Good Luck Edited November 6, 2015 by Cc4FuzzyHuggles Quote *~ Cc4FuzzyHuggles Gallery ~* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJW Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 (edited) It is in the mini tutorial thread; that's where I first spotted it. This thread may be "outdated," but the method isn't. The linked picture is, indeed, what it produces. I'll probably use the Black and White adjustment followed by the Threshold plugin or the Curves adjustment in place of multiple applications of Auto Level, because it seems a bit more direct. The method can be used with my Texture Shader plugin in place of Emboss to produce a variety of results. The reason I've wanted this type of texture is to produce something resembling pebbled leather. Edited May 16, 2016 by MJW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racerx Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 This is very similar to the texture I made for my baseball map a few years ago. I don't remember how I did it however, but I did it in PDN for sure..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
