Pattern Challenge: Funkadelic Tile by timber (Colored Foil) - Treehouse Treasures

Easy Funkadelic Pattern

I was playing around with my PSP filters and I came up with this funky-looking pattern. It`s really easy to make; you just need a pattern to start with.

Choose a pattern that you have with texture and color. I tried this technique on some of the patterns that I have loaded into my PSP and they worked fine except for one pattern that was geometric, so I don`t recommend using geometric patterns. Random patterns work best.

Open PSP.
Open your background/pattern/tile in PSP.
Create a new image whatever size you like.

Copy the pattern.
On the working canvas, select all.
Paste the pattern into the selection.
Select None.

Apply Effects>Distortion Effects>Wave with these settings (Horizontal Amplitude: 23, Horizontal Wavelength: 59, Vertical Amplitude: 64, Vertical Wavelength: 90, Edge mode=Wrap).

Apply Effects>Artistic Effects>Colored Foil with these settings (Blur: 95, Detail: 72, color=black or a dark color, angle=132).

Apply Colored Foil again.

The pattern that I used for my pattern example above came loaded into my PSP8 Patterns; it`s called Flowers. I didn`t paste it into a selection; I flood filled the canvas layer before applying the wave and colored foil filters. But I have also used smaller patterns that I have pasted into the canvas-sized selection and the result is nearly the same. The only thing that changes is the colors and swirls.

After I installed my PSP, I found a layered PSP file that I had saved probably four years ago that included only a few notes, and I was able to translate my notes and work my way back into figuring out how I made this. It all started with the funkadelic pattern. The effect here reminds me of fire opals. A fire opal is a really pretty stone; look it up if you don`t know what they look like. The font I used is AngelicaCP.

Played around with your directions and came up with this.

Tried a few effects but I felt it took away from the color. Used pspx2

Yes, using filters on the pattern will definitely change it.

I used SuperBladePro (moldy candy; blend mode=exclusion) on mine

Thanks for showing your results.

What is the name font that you used? I like it.

Font is called AR Hermann. Now I will have to set up my super blade pro sometime...lol

My SBP got uninstalled along with my PSP, so I had to reinstall it.

To install it, I think I just put SBP in my plugins folder.

It didn`t work at first until I added those DLLs into my system folders.

I found another old file of mine with some screenshots of a tag, and I finally figured out what I did to create the bevel and colorization on the text.
I have flood filled this text with the funkadelic tile and changed the blend mode to hue.
I also created an animated version and posted it here.
The font I`ve used is Jive.

Thanks this was fun!

Awesome, Gran, thanks for posting your results!

I took the funkadelic tile and applied some distortion effects and a glass setting (from a different tag of mine) and then used it to fill my text. The goldish outline was made following my Gold Bling Text tutorial. And then I added some noise for a shimmer effect. The font that I used is Kingsthings Slipperylip.

great effect timber! will have to try this one again now that I have some of my filters loaded.

Oh how I want to play!!

Love the pattern and the tags that were made.
