Man, thanks so much for this tutorial. It took me a while, but I finally found the best video in regards of how to do this in Illustrator. It was driving me nuts. Straight to the point. No mumbo jumbo or annoying background music. Hope you can get more views, you deserve them.
Awesome. But I can't export this as a png. Also, if this procedure is followed, you are basically paralyzing the rest of the content. You can't move anything. So therefore if you have several artboards, you can't work on any of them.:( I know this post is kind of old now. I'd love it if you'd do an updated video on any new techniques involving texture, exporting the artwork and any other shortcomings with this method.
Hello, I have a logo with a similar texture and am struggling to prepare the file for export successfully. How can you 'flatten' the logo so that the texture is no longer just a mask but cut out of the logo so that you can export as svg etc?
So you would need to use "pathfinder" and "minus front". Select your shape and then the vectored texture (use shift to select both) then hit minus front, this will then take out the texture from the main shape. If your main shape as multiple objects this will need to be done for each, use copy and past in place to get it exact each time. Hope that helps.
@@igloo-imaging thank you! Thats helpful. So in this case you don't need to use the mask at all? I tried using the minus front method and the pattern doesn't seem as 'full' as when I use the mask, like it hasn't minused the whole of the texture. Do you know how I can avoid this?
@@meganglazebrook8487 this is really weird that no one I could find on UA-cam is addressing this. Also excellent point. You don't need to use the mask at all if you are just going to vectorize the texture and minus front anyway.
@@jordanbrann8406 sometimes things can be too complicated for SVGs maybe try a simpler version and see if it handles it then make it progressively more complicated to find the cut off?
You're a life saver. Took me a while to get this right, but with your great video, I did it! Thank you!

Hello, thanks again for this video I refer back many times! Is this graphic able to be screen printed?
@@jordanbrann8406 that would be a question for the screen printer and their setup.
👏👏👏👏

When I save the file and open the file again there is no texture available even if I use the vector texture effect?
Are you saving it as a .ai file?

@@igloo-imaging wow if someone made a video that includes this part, that would be golden!!

Is it possible to export this as a svg?
@@cookio_animations up to certain complexity but probably not that much detail.
After doing this, I save as an SVG. When I go to open the SVG the texture is gone. Any idea why??
