Creating Texture Using 3D
Brush Strokes
When you create a texture using 3D
Brush Strokes, the difference in
luminance between the clone source
and the current document is used to
determine the look of the texture.
If you change the colors in the clone
or posterize the clone, the texture is
based on color differences. If you paint
on the clone, however, you can make
the brush strokes appear three-
dimensional, giving them the illusion
of oil paints.
For information about cloning, refer
to “Cloning Imagery” on page 187.
An example of the texture created when
Posterize is applied to the clone source.
An example of the texture created when brush
strokes are applied to a cloned image.
To create surface texture using 3D
brush strokes:
1 Open the original image.
2 Choose File menu > Clone.
If you want to alter the clone
before using 3D Brush Strokes,
apply an effect or paint on it.
3 Select a layer or area of the canvas.
If you want to apply the effect to
the entire image, make sure there
are no selections.
4 Choose Effects menu > Surface
Control > Apply Surface Texture.
5 In the Apply Surface Texture
dialog box, choose 3D Brush
Strokes from the Using pop-up
menu.
If you want to apply an inverted
texture, enable the Inverted check
box.
6 Adjust the Softness slider to
control the amount of distortion
created by the texture.
Increasing softness creates more
intermediate steps, which
produces a smoother distortion.
7 Adjust the Appearance of Depth
sliders.
Refer to “Setting Appearance of
Depth Properties” on page 278 for
more information.
8 Adjust the Light Controls sliders.
