Glitter Texture Illustrator Download |VERIFIED|
Clarence Pariseau
Note that for the ultimate realistic "glitter gold" end effect, we will have to resort to using a raster-based texture. This does ensure a very quick process, and with Texturino, I also means that the raster effect is automatically clipped to the applied artwork ensuring a very nice, sharp vector edge.
For the gold texture image, there are many resources on the internet to obtain a realistic gold effect. For this tutorial, a perfect high-resolution texture image was found in seconds on Adobe Stock. You can also find it here.
There are two ways to import textures into Texturino's Texture Manager ("library"). For this article, we're going to opt to first drop the texture image into the Illustrator document (embedded, not linked) and then convert this to a texture library item. The advantage of this approach is that whatever raster format Illustrator can import can be added to Texturino.
Once applied, use the Texturino 3-legged control annotation to set the texture's transparency type and scale (green highlights below). In this example, there is no transparency by opting for Normal and the scale is vastly reduced to below 5% to ensure the best possible glitter effect.
In this example, the gold texture used previously was openedin Photoshop and a large Motion Blur effect was applied (2000px) to result in abrushed gold metal effect. This modified image was then copied into theIllustrator document and added to the texture manager library as before. Thetexture was given a different name to differentiate it.
This time, due to the underlying shading being desired in the final effect, the transparency type is changed to Color Burn using the annotation system (see green highlight below). The texture is also scaled to suit.
Whereas the previous result does give a good result, it's felt that it's too bright. At this stage, we could simply adjust the underlying artwork (see "Pro tips", below). However, another method would be to apply a second instance of the brushed gold texture to the same object.
As texture scaling has already taken place, in this case, it would be best that the second texture instance inherits this setting. To do this, Option-click on the "+" button (red highlight below) when applying the second instance of the texture.
By targeting a layer (click on the layer's "meatball" icon in the Layers panel) and adding a Texturino texture to that layer, anything drawn in that layer will have the texture automatically applied to it. Try this whilst sketching with DynamicSketch and a graphics tablet for an amazing experience!
All Texturino textures are applied as live Effects (refer to the Appearance panel). You can remove, hide or re-order these textures effects at any stage without affecting the underlying artwork.
You may find that the artwork better suits an applied texture if it's brighter, darker, features more or less contrast, etc. No problem with Phantasm! Simply select the artwork which has the texture applied and use the Phantasm filter controls to alter the tone, brightness, hue, etc. (Object > Filters > Phantasm > ...). This method means that any applied live Effect such as Texturino is automatically re-calculated and rendered based on the modified artwork.
Remember that the Texturino plugin also features the Texture Brush Tool. Especially when coupled with a graphics tablet and stylus, it's a very natural way to apply textures with greater control and realism.
Could you help me to understand how to create a good quality glitter texture in Illustrator? I have tried a lot of things, and now the only result I got is save the texture as pdf from Figma and then upload this pdf to Illustrator, but it also doesn't look very good for me.
In the effects menu, select "Document Raster Effect Settings," and set the resolution to 300DPI. This should take care of the graininess, though I'm not sure if it will create a convincing glitter texture without some extra processing. You won't get the clumping and highlights like you see in your sample from Figma.
I would recommend generating a large texture graphic and importing it to Illustrator, using the text as a clipping mask on the image. Place the image in illustrator, and then place the text object on top of it. Select both the text and the image, and hit control + 7 (command + 7 on MAC) to create the clip.
Sometimes a little pop of sparkle is just what you need right? Sure, you could go on any of the creative market sites and purchase pre made textures that you can pop in to your design but, why not create your own?
You will receive a set of 52 glitters styles in 6 colors, 6 sparkle brushes and 4 background styles. The effect is applied instantly, with one click, you can choose a color, adjust the size of the glitter, add sparkles, copy objects into another document. The vector format can be used for any size of design, suitable for web design, printing and large format printing.
I was asked to make a word and fill it with silver glitter texture. the problem is I don't know how to fill the words with a .png glitter file I have. Do I have to make a pallet or a swatch for this and if yes is there a tutorial to do this? Do you know any resources that make and sell such a thing? Appreciate any guidance you may furnish me. I kinda need to learn this ASAP ... like today.
Disclosure: I am super new to this program and have little to no experience with graphic programs. I used to do this sort of thing in a cutting software (I just dragged the texture onto the words and it filled it in) but it won't export a 300 dpi photo for it to be printed at a printer for posters.
