creativevision Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Hi everyone Reaching out for some Halloween help please! See attached file ... as you can guess, we're trying to superimpose a massage icon onto a pumpkin, to try (not very well so far!) to create the look of a carved out pumpkin, where the carving template has some association with therapeutic massage. Can anyone advise how we can take what we've got and make it look a bit more realistic, rather than a sticker stuck on the pumpkin Thanks!

creativevision Posted October 15, 2018 Author Share Posted October 15, 2018 Ps. the colouring on the massage icon is to try to create a glowing fire look from inside the pumpkin but if that complicates matters, happy to just have a plain carving!

v_kyr Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Try out some of the effects panel options and settings on the massage icon and see if the result looks somehow what you thought. See also ... Carved wood ... and other samples like that one and try to apply something of those to your massage icon. creativevision 1 Quote ☛ Affinity Designer 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Photo 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Publisher 1.10.8 ◆ OSX El Capitan ☛ Affinity V2.3 apps ◆ MacOS Sonoma 14.2 ◆ iPad OS 17.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Gabe Posted October 15, 2018 Staff Share Posted October 15, 2018 Hi @creativevision, That's what I've got using the 3D FX. Make sure you invert the profile curve as the standard one will make it "pop out" rather than carved. I merged visible after the FX, masked the pumpkin on the new merged layer and mesh distort it. Thanks, Gabe. creativevision and Alfred 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creativevision Posted October 15, 2018 Author Share Posted October 15, 2018 Wow Gabe, that's pretty amazing for such quick work! Looks good and we may go for your idea after all, but actually we were hoping to get a version where it looks carved right through to hollow centre and then simply lit up from inside by candles or something. So a full depth carving leaving hollow in the area of the shape rather than (albeit impressive looking) top layer carving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

v_kyr Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Well there are a lot of combined effects settings and try outs possible, just make your own try outs. creativevision 1 Quote ☛ Affinity Designer 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Photo 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Publisher 1.10.8 ◆ OSX El Capitan ☛ Affinity V2.3 apps ◆ MacOS Sonoma 14.2 ◆ iPad OS 17.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
