How to Create Different Textures with Photoshop
Creating a multitude of textures is easy if you have the know-how and Adobe Photoshop. There are numerous plug-ins that you can make use depending on your need and your level of mastery.
One such plug-in is the Eye Candy: Textures. Eye Candy 5: Textures, a Photoshop Plug-in, is a collection of ten seamless texture generators. The first of three upgrades to Eye Candy 4000, Eye Candy 5: Textures produces a wide variety of texture effects, including snake and lizard skin, fur, brick, stone, and wood.
Graphic designers, web developers, and 3D artists can quickly create backgrounds, skins, seamless tiles, and more. Relying on the contents of a stock-texture library limits creativity and this is addressed by Eye Candy.
Tiling is quick and easy because every filter has a seamless-tile option. Eye Candy 5: Textures includes settings for over 200 frequently used effects. Creating great artworks can be done quickly saving the artist an ample amount of time and energy. A new settings system makes it easy to explore these effects. The ability to save and export makes sharing settings a snap. Eye Candy 5: Textures works with 16-bit images and does not compromise expanded color depth. Color transitions are smoother and print documents reproduce colors more accurately.
