First link:
background color= black; rectangle tool, roundness= 120; width= 160 px,
height= 85 px. One object;
background color= white; rectangle tool, roundness= 120; width= 46 px, height=
23 px. Two objects. |
   |
Color mask: black, create mask;
mask, save mask as a channel;
new object, modify, fill:
bitmap fill (wood, briar) select: scale bitmap to fit, maintain aspect. |
    |
Image, adjust, autoequalize;
effects, noise, add noise: uniform, level= 75, density= 75;
load mask, paint color= black;
brush tool, airbrush= softwide cover, size= 30;
mask, stroke mask, inside mask= twice; delete mask.
Second link:
background color= bitmap fill, briar;
rectangle tool, roundness= 120; width= 155 px, height = 21 px.
Use the first link' steps. |
    |
Load mask, paint color= black;
brush tool, airbrush= softwide cover, size = 15
mask, stroke mask, inside the mask, twice and size = 20, once;
delete mask.
From saved mask;
uniform fill, color=black;
create one object from both of the links; add Gaussian blur,1px;
place these objects below the other ones and, by arrows key of the keyboard,
move them right and down to give an impression of depth. If you want you
can apply to links other effects as 3D emboss or 3D the boss or texture
plastic and so on.
Place together and alternate the two types of links, using handles to create
a realistic chain. |
