BMP TEXTURES

RESOURCE GUIDE

STEP #1: DOWNLOAD TEXTURES. Our Adobe Illustrator BMP Textures will come as Zipped Folders. Once you have downloaded and extracted the Folder, the Textures are ready to be used in Adobe Illustrator. BMP Textures: 145 Cracks, 120 Grunge Distressing, 75 Paper, and 77 Paint Splatter Textures.

STEP #2: FILE + PLACE. Place a BMP Texture over your finished vector artwork. Simple File-Place. I recommend scaling the texture to fit over your completed artwork before you export or save. Simply scale the texture file using the Bounding Box or the Properties Panel. You can scale the texture to fit over the asset or the entire artboard.

STEP #3: APPLY TEXTURES. Most adjustments to the Adobe Illustrator BMP Textures will be made in the Transparency Panel. Use the Transparency Panel to apply Opacity Masks to create T-Shirt Distressing on your own original artwork and designs. We will be going through the Basics of applying BMP Textures.

GETTING STARTED. If you are new to our Website or YouTube Channel, I recommend starting with our Getting Started Guide. Many of our tutorials will follow an easy process for creating artwork in Adobe Illustrator. Start with our Beginner Guides or Adobe Illustrator Tutorials.

APPLYING TEXTURES

Using BMP with a Clipping Mask (Draw Inside): Use a duplicated shape of your design to place the Texture (Inside). We will be using the Draw Inside feature in Adobe Illustrator to create an easy Clipping Mask. The first thing you will need is a duplicate shape of the area you are looking to place the Texture Inside. Click on the Shape and select "Draw Inside" on the Toolbar. File - Place Embedded your Bmp Texture. Adjust using Transparency Panel.

Using BMP as Opacity Masks (Transparency Panel): This method of masking is used a lot for T-Shirt Design (using your own original artwork). The idea is to have the garment color shine through your own design. The Texture will not print but rather cut through your design to give a vintage or worn appearance. First select your finished design and the BMP Texture. Go to the Transparency Panel and click "Make Mask." Toggle Invert and Clip to get to the desired look.

FILE - PLACE: Once you have grouped and resized (if needed) your own finished original artwork, you are ready to bring in the BMP Textures. Under File - Place Textures into your working Artboard. Scale to Fit over your entire design. To use Textures with Opacity Masks you will need to Group and Scale your Finished Artwork before Applying.

OPACITY MASKS: This method of masking is used a lot for T-Shirt Design (using your own original artwork). The idea is to have the garment color shine through your own design. The Texture will cut through your design to give a vintage or worn appearance. First select your finished design and the BMP Texture. Go to the Transparency Panel and click "Make Mask."

APPLYING OPACITY MASKS: Applying Opacity Masks is extremely user-friendly. Group your Finished Artwork. Scale and Center to fit your artboard. I recommend copying and pasting your design from a "Building Artboard" to preserve your Layers. For my example, I am using a 12" by 16" Artboard (RGB). Place in BMP Texture. Scale to Fit over Artwork. Select All. Click "Make Mask" in the Transparency Panel. Click "Release" to change BMP Texture.

USING "LIVE" TEXT: Remember that the basics of applying a BMP Texture using Opacity Masks is Grouping your Finished Artwork. For those of you looking to keep your Text "Live," keep your "live" Text Layers within your Group. Scale and Center to fit your artboard. Place in BMP Texture. Scale to Fit over Artwork. Select All. Click "Make Mask" in the Transparency Panel. Click "Release" to change BMP Texture.

APPLYING CLIPPING MASKS: To apply a Clipping Masks we will need a Shape. I have created a Silhouette by using the Shape Builder Tool and an Offset Path. The Shape should have No Fill/Stroke. Select Shape. Click on "Draw Inside." File - Place in a BMP Texture within the Shape. Scale to Fit over the Design.

APPLYING OPACITY MASKS: Applying Opacity Masks is extremely user-friendly. Group your Finished Artwork. Scale and Center to fit your artboard. Place in BMP Texture. Scale to Fit over Artwork. Select All. Click "Make Mask" in the Transparency Panel. Click "Release" to change BMP Texture.

USING "LIVE" TEXT + EFFECTS: Remember that the basics of applying a BMP Texture using Opacity Masks is Grouping your Finished Artwork. Combine "Live" Text Layers and Effects within your group. You can Apply Effects in the Appearance Panel. Scale and Center to fit your artboard. Place in BMP Texture. Scale to Fit over Artwork. Select All. Click "Make Mask" in the Transparency Panel. Click "Release" to change BMP Texture.

I appreciate your videos. I have been an illustrator user for years and have my own ways of doing things. It's great to see other ways of using tools and learning tricks I didn't know were available! It's also good to see you doing the same thing as me in other instances, confirming I'm on the right track!Andy Zenz
