That's extremely complex if there should be also fibers on strands. One workaround would be to place different patterns along copies of the same path and prepare the patterns so that together they make an usable shading. The simple non-shaded version that you can find in tutorials is what's easily available. Bitmap image also cannot be used as a brush.

There's pattern along a path, but it doesn't allow shapes this complex. Unfortunately I must tell that the same idea isn't usable in Inkscape. The photo for this purpose should have symmetric light. The result really resembles rope except the shadow follows the bearing of the curve. The traced piece contains hundreds of small objects even when traced only to 8 colors. That reduces the computer load substantially. That brush is applied to drawn curves.Īctually recent Illustrator versions and at least Affinity Designer allow also bitmap images to be used as brushes. The prepared piece is pasted to Illustrator, traced to vector and defined to be a Pattern Brush. It's a piece taken from one of your rope examples and prepared in Photoshop to make seamless repeating possible. A piece of rope (see it in top right) is used as a brush. I guess you expect something like this (it's from Illustrator) Can someone help me with a step by step indications so its easy to follow?. So does it exist a way to add this effect or how should I draw it?. However the model which I intend to reproduce isn't exactly a hemp rope but a cotton rope, so the yarns don't stick out from the overall surface in a random manner. In my research to find a model as a guide I could obtain these: The figure from below is what I could made but as it is shown the background which I could obtain is entirely a flat color and not the sort of texture which you can have with the threads. Does it exist a model or a way to do it without much fuss?.

I was able to reproduce a shape similar to a knot tied to a small hole in the square but I don't know how to make a texture or something akin to the strands you see in a rope. I'm having a confusion on how to represent properly the strands of a rope when trying to make a knot tied to one corner of a square.
