Camouflage tutorials for coreldraw X5?
« on: August 04, 2015, 09:51:39 AM »
Using coreldraw X% and/or illustrator CS

I have a client that wants their design in a camouflage design. Are there any tutorials on how to do this? I am looking online and yet to find any....just figured I'd throw out the question here.

my technique find a camo vector (tons out there online)

put the design on top of it, and clip around the outside? (or stroke the design, merge and then delete around the outside after ungrouping)

of course I'm an Illustrator hack, so this may not be the most efficient way

what type of camoflauge?    digital, woodland, real tree?       the easiest way for either is to make the design and power clip the camo inside the object you want camo

there are tons of camo designs out there, either vector, or a high res raster you could use a trace on. Should be pretty easy...

Yep Power Clip is your friend. Select the pattern, tell it what object you want it to fill, adjust its position, and voila!
That rug really tied the room together, did it not?

ok..thanks for the suggestions...what i wound up doing was taking vector camo art from online as suggested.....and i did not use powerclip....instead i made each camo design its own unique coreldraw file...then selected the object I wanted the camo in.....chose "pattern fill" from the fill tool to left of screen.....loaded the newly saved cdr file, then clicked ok...filled it right up perfectly.
