Special Effect, Making Vinyl Look Like Wood.

This latest text effect is called ‘Woody’ for obvious reasons! It’s a relatively simple animated style that adds wood grain to almost anything – including text and plank-like objects.

Without any further ado – let’s show you how it’s done…

First, we mark out a rectangle on a piece of paper and draw a simple woodgrain effect using a medium nibbed felt tip pen. Ensure all lines break the edge, or form a complete loop within the rectangle (below left). Next, scan this into your sign software program and digitise it on-screen . . .
