Jmack Posted December 27, 2019 Posted December 27, 2019 I’m trying to create a Celtic knot weave pattern. I can create the ropes ok but can’t seem to create the weave. I’ve tried to mask out segments of the ropes using a pixel mask and selections but I can’t get the edges of the mask very clean and the results look very ragged. I’ve also tried using a Boolean divide but it divides the rope that’s on the top but seem to to an XOR on the bottom rope and deletes all the over lapping parts of the rope. That just doesn’t seem to be how it should work. Quote

Jmack Posted December 28, 2019 Author Posted December 28, 2019 I’m new to design software so I’m still learning. I did get it sort of figured out. Divide was working like it is supposed to just not like I wanted. The selections were ragged because I didn’t have a dense enough pixel grid. Using the pixel eraser and smart selection brush to mask the under portions of the rope worked best. It allows me to keep the ropes whole so I can use layer styles on the ropes. It still needs some clean up, some of the fix leaves hallos that need clean up. If I could mask the styles that would be great. I haven’t found out how to do that yet. Thanks for all the pointers. I will she know out the tutorials. Thanks again Quote
