Making plates out of a square texture
@earlypleasantview released a most interesting thing on MTS today: “Control Dining Plate and Bowls Colors“, an object that allows you to have multiple dish colors in your game. Now the first thing I wondered as the resident pottery person was of course: “Can I use any of my pottery textures on this object?“ The answer: not without modifications.
Well, I am here to teach you the Art of turning your square textures into plates! Please note that I use Photoshop CS6. Your experience may differ using a different program or version. Anyways, without further a due, here’s the tutorial:
Step 1. Open your texture in Photoshop
Step 2. Make sure that the part of your texture that’ll serve as the outer rim of your plate is on the bottom of the image. If that part is on top, I suggest using Image -> Image Rotation -> Flip Canvas Vertical
Step 3. Go to Filter -> Distort Image -> Polar Coordinates. You can zoom out in the miniature view to see the full result. Satisfied? Click okay and save your new plate texture. Not satisfied? Click cancel and keep reading
Step 4. Select your entire image (ctrl+A) and copy it (ctrl+C).
Step 5. Go to Image -> Canvas Size (Alt+Ctrl+C). Put your anchor in the middle left square and increase your width to 200 percent.
Step 6. Now, copy your texture into the empty space (Ctrl+V), merge your layers (Ctrl+E) and repeat step 3.
Step 7. Go to Image -> Image Size and change your image width to its original size. If it still doesn’t look good, increase your canvas width with another 100% of your original size. Once you’re happy with your plate texture, save it.
Look at that! Isn’t it nice?
Congratulations! You just made your very own round plate texture! Now go out and fulfill your wildest plate texture dreams! Please do tag me if you use this tutorial. I would love to see what you made.

how did you do the 1st and 4th gif here? the one where u manipulate the corners/borders? it’s really cool and nice ;D thank u
EDIT: complete tutorial added! I sincerely apologize for the late reply. I deleted the original PSDs for these gifs so i had to recreate and replicate the effects from memory. feel free to contact me if you need further clarifications!
the gifs anon are referencing:
first panel / distorted gif
Import your desired clip in timeline mode. Group all of the gif layers and turn them into smart objects (Filter > Convert to Smart Objects) so you can slap some fancy slancy effects on there. Duplicate them so you have a copy of your clip’s frames and the original frames. Your layers tab should look something like this:
(the curve layer is just there to brighten up the dark scene. feel free to ignore)
To get the actual warp effect you need to apply the Polar Coordinates (Filter > Distort > Polar Coordinates) to the top layer of the gif. I used the default setting that it gave me but you’re free to try the other option.
The screenshot above is what your layers should look like. Finally, set the blending mode to “Difference” so you get that nice inverted effect on top of the polar coordinates distortion. (Read more about blending modes here on Adobe’s website). The gif below is what your end result will look like. Put on a gradient map, noise, whatever you want to look it nice and cool and neat!
second panel / color changing frame
This panel may seem really complex but it was actually really simple! However, I must warn you that this type of effect heavily depended on the scene’s shade (whites, blacks, etc.) to actually get the desired effect. Megumi’s hand puppet was contrasted by his bright dogs summon so it allowed for this nice contrast effect/illusion.
To start, import the clips you want into timeline, just like the first gif. Group them up, and convert them into smart objects and create a copy as well!
Now, using your favorite method, create a border surrounding the gifs like the screenshot below. Color doesn’t matter.
Reorder the layers so that you have:
- gif copy
- the border
- original gif
Open a gradient map and mess with it until you have a desired color. In my example, this is the gradient I used.
(not the original color in the gif sorry about that!) You do not have to stick with these colors but I recommend sticking to something like this to get the changing frames illusion.
Create a copy of that gradient and order it so it’s at the top of the gif’s copy. Refer to the screenshot on top of the gradient map for reference. Don’t put them at any blending mode or lower the opacity. However, make sure that the gradient map at the BOTTOM is set to “Reverse”
Finally, right click the top gif group and press “Create Clipping Mask” so that gif group will only be visible to the border. Do the same to the top gradient!
This way the top gif + gradient map (that is now a “border”) will be on top of the original gif group doing its own thing and messing with the layers below the ‘border’ layer. Since the top gradient map is not reversed. it will apply the opposite coloring to the border, giving you that changing color frames illusion. Your final result should look something like this:
I hope that helps anon!

color blob effect in clip studio paint
hey! >this post< got a some attention and i saw a tag asking for the tutorial, so i decided to go through with it. here’s that tutorial!
tutorial below the cut!
step 1: open a new csp document. doesn’t need any particular settings, whatever size you want to work at is fine.
step 2: go to Filter > Draw > Perlin noise...
your drawing will fill with cloudy black and white blobs, and a window like this will pop up:
these are the settings i used, but let me explain what each slider does:
Scale: this changes the size of the blobs and will affect the look of your final drawing. adjust this however you think is best.
Amplitude: this changes the contrast between the lightest and darkest areas of the clouds. i prefer low contrast. high contrast also works, it just changes some variables in later steps. make sure it’s at least above zero.
Attenuation and Repeat: these have slightly different effects, but the effect of both of them on this particular design is smaller, more granular blobs. keep these low — we want very blobby blobs.
Offset: these will move the generated noise around the canvas. if you’d like to move a blob to a particular spot, fiddle with these. i set them to random numbers so that i don’t repeat settings too often (identical settings will lead to identical clouds).
hit “OK” when you’re satisfied and you’ll have a canvas something like this:
step 3: go to Layer > New Correction Layer > Binarization... and mess with that number until your image is a mix of black and white blobs like this:
there should be a few numbers that work. pick whatever you like.
step 4: duplicate your blob and threshold layers. make sure they’re in order like this:
step 5: invert the second blob layer (“Layer 1 Copy”). you can do this with Edit > Tonal Correction > Invert Gradient
step 6: set the second blob layer (“Layer 1 Copy”) to Multiply.
step 7: fiddle with the second threshold layer (“Threshold 1 Copy”) until none of the black spaces are touching. you might have to mess with the original threshold layer. there should be a few possible options — it’s up to you what looks best! i ended up with this:
step 8: flatten your layers. you can do this with Layer > Merge Layers.
step 9: add a shape effect. here are some options from Filter > Transform
> Convert polar coordinate...
> Whirlpool...
> Pinch...
just mess with these settings however you think looks good. i went with a whirlpool.
step 10: add a new layer and fill it with a black and white gradient. try to include both black and white on the canvas. i like doing this with the gradient tool on a raster layer, but you can also use Layer > New > Gradient and messing with the settings there. for my whirlpool, i made it a circular gradient.
step 11: put the gradient layer on top of your your pattern layer, and set the gradient layer to Lighten.
everything so far should look something like this:
step 12: duplicate the pattern layer. put this layer on top.
step 13: set the pattern layer as a Reference Layer. to do this, select the layer and click the lighthouse icon.
step 14: make a new layer on top. it helps to turn on layer color (Layer Property tab > Layer Color button) so it’s easier see your work in the following steps.
step 15: in the new layer, start filling in blobs.
this is to make each blob a single color. here’s where layer color comes in handy (the blue blobs above are the ones i’d filled in so far).
use the eye dropper to select the color of a blob. for my whirlpool, i picked close to the “front” of the blob, so it feels like the colors are spiraling out from the center. then use the bucket to dump that color in the blob on the new layer. make sure your bucket settings are like this:
unfortunately i haven’t found a better way to do this, so this will take a little while. put on some noise and take it easy.
when it’s all done, it’ll look like this:
turn off layer colors and it looks like this:
step 16: the fun part! go to Layer > New Correction Layer > Gradient map... and mess with gradients until you get something you like. make sure the gradient map is on top of all of the layers so far.
here’s what i made while writing this tutorial:
and one with a different original shape:
step 17: experiment! that’s as much as i can tell you to do. mess around with different colors, layer orderings, clipping layers to other layers, blending modes, shapes, opacities, etc. — you can find a ton of different effects just by fiddling around. if an idea strikes you, go for it!
thanks for reading, and i hope you have fun with this technique!

Distortion Techniques

I created this glass shatter effect by watching a tutorial as I wasn’t sure how to create this image in order to get the results that I was wanting.

I created this image by overlaying a picture of fireworks which I had taken. I created this image as part of my mental health project work as well as my distortion images

This distortion technique was created using a piece of silver card which was folded into a triangle to show reflections and create an image similar to the work of Langdon Coburn.

I used the pinch tool on photoshop to distort this image.


This distortion technique was created by printing off an image of Krista and folding it into a shape and then placing it on top of another printed out image for her. I also decided to place a folded image of me to create a different look to it alongside the original folded piece of her.

I created this distortion techniques by using the polar coordinates distort setting on photoshop.

I created this glitch effect image by duplicating the image onto a new layer and removing the R channels on blending options from the image and then adjusting it on top of the first layer to create the effect

CONTACT US
AutoCAD was initially derived from a program called Interact, which was written in a proprietary language. The first release of the software used only primitive entities such as polygons, circles, lines, arcs and text to construct complex objects. Later, it came to support custom objects through a C++ application programming interface. The modern version of the software includes a full set of tools for solid modeling and 3-D. AutoCAD also supports numerous application program interfaces for automation and customization.

Highlighter and Bronzer: Constant Dualities in Makeup Culture
As written by a makeup user
Makeup is highly polarizing subject to the people who wear it, refuse to wear it, and resign to wear it, and speaking honestly? It can get hard to keep a singular, straight thought about it. Personally speaking at least.
A lot of the topics mentioned were usually written separately, and that’s fine. One person posting how makeup praises European features isn’t wrong! Just like another post saying how makeup fetishizes black features/trying to pass as “racially ambiguous” also isn’t wrong! These two separate camps, among the others I will touch on later, can both exist in the same realm. It’s just our job to see both sides and how either and both affect people.
I know this is far from being the first makeup-critical post nor its last, but throughout my years on this hell site, I have stumbled across numerous articles and thoughts. They are all wonderful and are written with more insight than I could ever, but this compilation is (mostly) for me.
Eurocentric Beauty Standards and Modern Black/Brownface
What do we see when we open Instagram or look up makeup artists on Youtube? Most probably the same cut and crease. The same extensive bronzer. The same cut cheekbones. The same C-shaped highlighted area. And you get the point! But what does it mean? Am I just ragging on the go-to, tried and true looks? Well yes. I hate seeing a lack of creativity, but I want to look deeper into what these artists are choosing to accentuate; what they are choosing to accentuate or hide; what they are choosing to do with their natural skin colour.
One tumblr user (that has since left this site) said, you can’t divorce beauty culture from white supremacy. And they were right. A lot of IG/YT tends still uphold whiteness as a kind of ideal! This perpetuation could be as innocent as contouring tutorials telling viewers to give themselves high cheekbones; a small, straight nose; deeper set eyes; “melon seed” jaws; etc., to an industry-wide problem like Snapchat/IG filters lightening skin tones and companies not providing a ful, broad range of foundations and concealers.
It really wasn’t until, like, what? 2017? where Fenty Beauty made a foundation line with a thorough and broad spectrum that covered almost every skin tone. And that is a travesty! What were you telling these women (and men)? “You should be going lighter than your actual skin shade”? But what’s more insidious than that is actually going out and making skin brightening products for women, especially in countries where colorism is more pronounced –like Central and South America and Asia (especially South and Southeast Asia).
The latter is not just an instance of not a lack of representation (and yes, I acknowledge that we ought to see more darker skinned actors and celebrities and so forth) but is something that can affect the livelihoods of people. Without a doubt, people treat you differently if you look a certain way. It becomes easier to navigate through society! Job prospects open up once you fit these standards, even if they are racist; one non-makeup example is how black women are expected to straighten their hair for jobs, have something like 1A to 2C hair, while other manageable hair styles that are more unique to women with 3A-4C hair (box braids, cornrows, etc.) are seen as inappropriate. But at the same time, non-black people go and appropriate these looks.
As tumblr user estoma6mp (now, luzonbleedingheart) mentioned in their (now deleted) post, what is overlining/plumping their lips and taking the styles of black women other than imitating blackness/modernized blackface? Look at Ariana Grande. The Jenners. These parties “tan” and “bronze” to achieve… I think a certain “racial ambiguity” as well as… just stealing the creative thoughts of African American (and also Latinx) women. It’s…. the coveting and commodification of “ethnic” features and styles for the sake of seeming fashionable and clout while also resting comfortably knowing that you can take off all the bronzer at the end of the day.
The Sexualization of Makeup and Children and the Infantilizing of Grown Women
The names of products and shades are undoubtedly important in creating an image and a connection in the minds of consumers. Like, what does “Killawatt” put in your mind, in my mind, other than something super bright and fluorescent like concert lights? But not all makeup will have simple names like “rose” or “peony” for lipsticks. Those don’t have enough edge. It doesn’t sell sex. But should makeup have to sell sex?
As marisatomay said in her post, makeup companies shouldn’t be naming their products after sexual terms. She goes to list names like “climax” and “super orgasm” and puns like “glow job” that may seem far fetched and almost like a strawman, but no. Those are actual names. Just look at the lip gloss selection from NARS’ site: Orgasm, Super Orgasm, First Time, Strip Tease, Triple X, are just a handful of names. There are so much more I’m not mentioning! I wouldn’t be so opposed to this naming convention if it weren’t for the fact that there are plenty of young girls who are looking to makeup as a form of expression.
Now, whether children and young teenagers should be using makeup is another point of debate. If a child wants to play with makeup and draw flowers on their face and add glitter, that’s fine! It’s all in good fun. But the moment you have girls as young as 7 or 8 becoming makeup artists, contouring, beating their faces, making themselves look like they are in their 20s, that’s where things get concerning. Like, we should let children be children and allow them creativity, but creativity with makeup is hard because the line between having fun and feeling like you need to conform to certain looks/have certain knowledge about making yourself look “beautiful” is getting more and more blurred. It’s already terrible to see elementary school children think that they need to look a certain way, wear makeup a certain way to be seen as pretty, but the makeup industry isn’t just exploiting these young girls’ insecurities. They also exploit the girls themselves. When we see brands posting closeup videos of young girls putting on lip gloss, lips parted, it evokes a certain image.
On the other hand, however, I’ve also seen makeup palettes that are very reminiscent of childhood. Saffron-Sugar wrote on her blog, that a lot of makeup also has an “unpleasantly infantilizing tone,” and I agree! Like, which makeup company hasn’t collaborated with Disney? Mermaid, unicorn, faerie, and even dessert themed products are omnipresent. This by itself isn’t that much of an issue –these are cute aesthetics, and I can get behind some of them—but it really patronizes a lot of adult women. These circumstances emphasize certain connotations with regards to (perhaps feigned) girliness.
While I said makeup can sexualize minors and expose them to unwarranted sexual tension, makeup can also sexualize that same young, innocent image in women. It’s the idea of recapturing girlhood and innocence and purity. It’s sickening because it kinda adds this “barely legal” culture –where men wait for girls to turn 18 as if legality is the only thing that differentiates a girl from a woman. And this is disgusting.
Empowerment and Societal Coercion and the Industry that Doesn’t Care
I’m glad to be living in a time and a world where I can speak my thoughts openly and find ways to be myself, but… I think it’s also this individualism that gives us all an overinflated sense of self. It’s difficult to openly criticize our behavior, our actions, as consumers and as people in a capitalistic society because so many of us do take these as personal attacks. As if we were exempt from reflecting on ourselves and have free reign to perpetuate harmful ideology and phenomena.
So…. It was, like, 2012? 2013? Where we got all these “eyeliner sharp enough to kill a man!!” and “blind them with your highlighter!” comments and posts. The idea, if I recall everything correctly, was that… a lot of girls, a lot of women, were emphasizing that they weren’t wearing makeup for anyone else other than themselves. And I think that is a wonder idea. It’s nice that you can make a hobby out of this, but I also know that there are plenty of others who are less than enthused about makeup.
I don’t hate on the women in the above scenario, totally don’t! But they can’t go around yelling how something (especially makeup) is a choice when to many others it isn’t. Plenty of women feel like they need to wear makeup in order to better navigate through society. As a personal anecdote, I know that I have been treated far better as a person the moment I “glowed up” and tried to coordinate outfits better/put on makeup in a more conventionally attractive manner/adhering to certain beauty standards. I know that in some service jobs such as waiting tables, the number of tips a waiter gets can be determined by her makeup. And let’s not even go into mental health professionals and their patients wearing makeup! It’s unrealistic the amount of time women has to spend on our appearances just to be treated like “normal.”
And the thing is, the makeup industry doesn’t care if you’re either woman! These million-dollar companies, founded on the institutional control of how women look and behave, are getting money from both camps. Advertisement will be sprinkled with buzzwords such as “empowering” and “girl boss” but those are empty words when all they want is to bank on these trends and women’s wants and/or insecurities.
And here’s the part where I struggle to conclude all my thoughts. Like my previous post about art commissions and business, this is nothing more than a rehash of what people before me have said: I just wanted to compile everything in a more accessible post for myself, rather than scroll through my makeup tag on my main blog. But I guess I need to have some form of closure for anybody who has actually stuck around to get here (and thank you for doing so!).
All of the circumstances mentioned are… quite separate from each other all things considered, but they are all part of a larger, more foreboding culture that makes women feel like they need to look a certain way (even if they think they are being unique and creative). Indeed, makeup is a form of expression and creativity for a lot of women, but to just blindly act without any insight on what you are consuming, what you are doing, and why you are doing it, is honestly irresponsible. Like any other part of culture, a part of media (especially social), we need to see who is benefiting from our actions and who is getting hurt.
