Corel Painter Help | Applying weaves

Applying weaves

You can choose a weave from the Weaves panel, or from one of the Weave libraries that are included with Corel Painter, and apply it as a fill. For more information, see Working with libraries.

The Weave Library is accessible from the Media Selector bar.

You can also display a weave as two-dimensional or show the interwoven threads three-dimensionally, complete with shadows.

Left: A weave displayed as two-dimensional. Right: The same weave displayed as three-dimensional produces a more jagged effect.
