civ77 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I have made these (pretty bad) textures for the fletchings on an arrow(fig. 1) and I want to make them look better, I am looking to create fletchings that look like the ones in fig. 2 If you have any suggestions please post them fig. 1http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/4784/fletchings.png fig. 2http://www.gwcrafts.com/media/prodpic/kitnew.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjakal Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 If you are a PS user just run some transform distortion, liquify or wave filters on the selection to get the wave pattern if your hand isn't steady enough to just paint them. Then paint the hair/fibers with fine black and white stripes on another layer and try various blending modes and opacity settings until you're satisfied.

Sunnie Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 You should also be using the alpha mask channel to give the edges a ragged/uneven/fiber like natural appearance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
