Tip for equalize / balance in textures in Photoshop

 

Sometimes your texture is almost 100% seamless and tileable. But small differences in light and shadow easily show that this is a tiled texture and it's a 3D image.  As humans we always look for patterns and they are easily spotted and by equalizing the texture you make it more believable.

In this follow up tutorial on how to create Object ID for your fabrics, I only use Photoshop to create these maps. This really depends on your source texture and other element if it's easy or hard. Sometimes you need to do a lot of small tweaking to make it work, and here I show you the main principles.

If you haven't seen Fabulous Fabrics I recommend you do that :)

Poliigon has started creating fabric textures with Object ID maps. They add a more convincing look on your fabric, and they are really easy to create your self. In Arnold render you can connect these to the coat layer in standard surface (Arnold 5) and I really like the result that gives.

Repetition

 

I came across this video on repetition and why we should do it to learn. In school we are often presented with an idea/concept ones. Maybe repeated ones more if we're tested on the subject and no more. That knowledge doesn't stick. So my tip is find resources presented from different angles and repeat. And see this video :)

I show how I used it to create a wool material for a Hiroshima Chair by Naoto Fukasawa.

Master Thesis

 

I just remembered that my whole master thesis in design is out on the web.

The project became fictive app were called Youuu - the health-app that adapts to you, and were a concept were you would feed data tasks and get different graphs mixed with gamefication and incentives to do your tasks.

Some parts still holds up, but Oo, looking back it feels so out dated. the health app is designed for iOS 6, and as you probably know, the design language totally changed after iOS 7 and introduced new way of thinking apps and design. And the thesis is in Norwegian and not accessible for everyone.

But if this is of any interest to you, and you know a lot of Norwegian you can download it all here.

And this is a typical school situation were you had one idea, but some scholar said it should be something else. My initial idea, creating a open network for health anxiety, is still more interesting then my thesis. But hey what can you do.
