There are a couple of ways you can make a name fill.
The easiest way:
- Pick a font
- Type the name
- Open your easy palette. -- Workspace, panels, easy palette.
- Go to material attribute gallery
- Right click on any color, modify properties and apply
- Choose file and then pick the picture you want as the fill
From there you can add a border. If you don't like the way the picture fills the letters follow the same steps as above, and when you are still in the choose a file window click options and then tile the texture. If you want more than one image in the name, do each letter individually.
Now, the way I do it. Takes a bit of time, but I like the way it turns out this way.
- Type the name
- Add a border and make it the color and thickness you would like it to be
- Font color white
- Right click and merge all objects
- On the left, in the tool panel, choose the magic wand tool
- Click on the white area inside the letters
- Right click and invert
- Right click and convert to object
- Choose your picture and paste it to your name
- Right click, arrange, send to back
- Re-size your picture behind the letters to your preference
- if the picture does not have a background, you can add one
- You can also make the characters pop out by duplicating the picture and erasing the unwanted parts. This step requires the picture to have no background so make sure to remove any if necessary.
A few examples for you. The first two are the first way I explained. The last two are using the second explanation. I hope this helps you.
