pascalbinckenstein Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Hi there, just a quick question. How can i create textured lines? One of my customers wants me to create a triangle which looks like the papyrus font - Can I do it somehow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toltec Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Draw a triangle, select a textured brush and drag the width slider I am not sure if there is a perfect brush though. You will have to try them. It looks a bit "grungy" so you might have to add a mask to it. Quote Windows PCs. Photo and Designer, latest non-beta versions.

carl123 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 You could just add a gold coloured noise image, mask the triangle to the image then adjust the Blend Ranges of the image to make it partially transparent in places.

StuartRc Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Hi, There are several methods you could use to re-create distressed looks on lines 1. As Toltec has suggested simply replace the lines with a textured brush from the brush library panel 2, Manual: Create a distressed object line with expand stroke and manually edit vector with pen+node tools 3. Mask to below: Overlay a shape with texture pattern (vector or raster). Make sure layers are 'stacked' [pattern on top] and use a Layer Mask. Activate mask to below in layers panel [right-click on selected layer] and 'knock-out' parts of the image [Adjust for effect] 3. Layer Erase: Overlay texture pattern (vector group) and set layer containing required pattern to 'erase' [layer erase] 4. Mask: Add layer mask to vector object and paint mask with textured raster brush 5. Nested layers with pattern object inside line [Thick lines or shapes] gdenby and jstnhllmn 2 Quote Affinity Version 1 (10.6) Affinity Version 2.4.1 All (Designer | Photo | Publisher) Beta; 2.4 2.2356 OS:Windows 10 Pro 22H2 OS Build 19045.4046+ Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19053.1000.0 Rig:AMD FX 8350 and AMD Radeon (R9 380 Series) Settings Version 21.04.01 Radeon Settings Version 2020 20.1.03) + Wacom Intuous 4M with driver 6.3.41-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firstdefence Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Why not just make a brush that emulates the font Like this one Papyrus Brush.afbrushes made the wrong brush on the first one I uploaded, this one will change colour when choosing the stroke colour.

Guest Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Good evening, I join @firstdefence, I also created a brush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyJack Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 If you want an EXACT match, why not use the font itself on a text curve (I used the dash....play with spacing and baseline shift). Or, at the very least.... (and especially if you eventually need to do something with curves) Make a brush from the font itself (2nd pic). I used a couple different straight sections end to end to create a little more variety (of course you can also play with pressure too).
