Combining a logo pic with a folded material pic.

Postby caractacus on Mon Mar 03, 2008 8:01 pm

Quite some time ago, I watched someone take 2 files: a company logo and a photo of a piece of silk.
The outcome of the demo was that the logo was superimposed on the folded silk, so that it looked like the silk had the logo printed on it.
The effect was stunning, with shadows, folds, etc making it look realistic.
Does this exercise sound familiar to anyone - if so, could you please share the techniques involved?

Many thanks.

That's Quite a lot of work... ('a lot' = relative :p )
The first thing to do, is to gather your reference logo. The silk could be made from scratch. Or if you prefere, it could be imported from file format.
The second thing is posisioning the logo on the silk en then process the logo (only logo) into the Liquify option. (optionaly first being wrapped into right size, orientation)
Then continue checking - liquifying until the logo seems to fall into the ripples of the silk. I personaly would set the logo 50% transparent for example. It gives a better view of the underlying ripples ^^
The last thing to do, is to find out, in what mode the logo looks most realistic. I mean the oppacity blending modes. 'screen' if you have a rather light colored logo, or 'multiply' / 'color burn' if the color of the logo runs darker. Find out what blend option suits best.
Finishing touch could be adding a Light, adding shadows by brush or patterns to improve the silk...

If you want, I can work out an example for you ^^

Thank you very much for the replies.
I couldn't see anything on the link in your last post - I just see an empty page in Firefox.....
but I'll try the Liquefy option.

Damn that sucks... I hope you can get it visible anyhow.

I've seen someone do this for a t-shirt before, but you could try creating a black and white displacement map.

There are lots of examples on google; this one looks cool:
