RUL Weave

[The Unirocerous]

I was watching tutorials on youtube for some cool effects in photoshop. I came across a tut for a "weave" effect. I tried it on a few different pictures and decided to use the huge RUL logo. Anyways here is how it turned out:

1st one:

2nd one (which I think is a lot better):

Tell me what you think! Look at them in full size, it makes it look nicer.

2nd one looks cool.

Nice! The second one is awesome!

[RUL Subzero]

the first is icky but the second's aweosme

[RUL Horizontal]

yeah if you didnt know RUL it would be hard to read the first one but great job on the second one.

[The Unirocerous]

Thanks everyone! The reason it's hard to read the first one is because I zoomed out so that I could see the whole picture. So when I did the weave effect and then put it to full size, it made the weaved pieces a lot bigger.

Not bad but for some reason to me it looks like some design on a picnic like basket.

1st one not so good and the 2nd is okay I'm just not so crazy about this effect

[Flamingcats]

Second is way awesome. first is not good

Neat, It would look better if the effect was either on the entire space (As in it needs a background) or if you made it look like it had a reason to be done

The reason the background is not weaved is because the picture is a render (meaning it is only the picture with the background cut out). So I just put a black background on it because it looks better than with white.

[Scorcher111]

Yeah, I'm just saying you should add one...

[Harflin]

That would look cool if you put it on a plain brown color, and weaved it all together to make it look like a Picnic basket with RUL on it :P

That's a simple effect, but pretty effective if done properly. You can do this with Bevel/Emboss Texture, Texture Overlay, or just a reflecting gradient overlay, but I don't pretend to know what method the tutorial taught you. The second one is nicer than the first, for sure. It might look a bit better if the weave was scaled down just a tad, the scale it's at right now makes it difficult. Well done though.

The tut told me to use an outer glow. I believe, I haven't tried this for along time now.

[DoubleForte]

Hmm, I've never heard of it being done that way. It sounds very tedious if you're using a mix curve or a **** tonne of layers for each strip of the weave.

Maybe that wasn't what it was, since it was pretty easy to do. I'll find to tut and watch it again to find how they actually said to do it.

[DoubleForte]

Alright, knowledge is power as they say.

[The Unirocerous]

It uses outer glow and drop shadow, but has two different layers, one vertical lines one horizontal lines. Here's the tut if that didn't make any sense.

Oh, it uses masking, that makes more sense now. Interesting.
