Scott_ADV Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 (edited) Does anyone know how to create the cross pattern (or is it a brush) in Affinity Photo? Looking for a resource to mimic this.

GarryP Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Welcome to the forums @Scott_ADV I had a bit of a play with some Procedural Textures and came up with the technique in my attached video (with bonus mistakes). It’s not exactly what you want, but it’s quick to do and might be interesting to experiment with to see what you can get. I’m sure someone will be able to come up with something better. 2020-11-03_09-20-44.mp4 Alfred 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarryP Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 The Procedural Texture presets that I use in the video came with the software. There’s a “Restore Master Presets” button which might get them back for you (select Manage Presets from the ‘hamburger’ menu), but I've never pressed it myself so I don't know for sure what it does.

GarryP Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 I’ve just noticed that I seem to have an unnamed and empty category which I can’t delete, for some reason, so my presets may not be the best ones to use. Also, I don’t think the default textures can be exported. Maybe someone else who knows this area better can help you with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarryP Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Interesting; I don’t use CMYK so I would never have thought of that. Since the textures only have RGB options (as far as I know) not being able to use them in CMYK sounds reasonable, but maybe we should get a warning of some kind to tell us. Or, call them “RGB Procedural Textures” and grey-out the menu option when using CMYK. At the very least, if the Procedural Textures can’t be used with CMYK documents, the Help should say so.

StuartRc Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 There are several ways of achieving this effect... A. Use an overlay texture(bitmap) as a mask and erode the pattern with a 'grunge' brush B. Add a bitmap overlay C. Create a vector pattern and use mask to erode D. Create a brush and paint the effect E. Use a bitmap/Style to fill a shape If you want to play a around with pattern effects there is a nozzle/pattern set I uploaded a long time ago (so long I could not remember where I put it!) that does contain a few grid like patterns. It it a asset set as seamless vectors/.png files.Texture Paint Brush Asset Library There is also:Project Inkbrush Vector Assets but these are definitely not seamless!

firstdefence Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 I made a basic filter in filter forge, well it was basic until about 2 mins ago when I added some more sliders lol! For anyone that has Filterforge, this was made in FF9 Grunge Mesh.ffxml Scott_ADV 1 Quote iMac 27" 2019 Sequoia 15.0 (24A335), iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...
