I want to take and make fonts and have the insides of the fonts be filled with a picture. I think you call that masking? or image mapping? Can anyone point me toward a tutorial? I use to use a program like pixel3d to make the 3d fonts and map the picture onto it, but i don’t have a full version of that pgm and it writes "sample" on the image. Can anyone tell me of another pgm that might do that? THANK You!!!

Hi,

I’ll do you a video tutorial to demonstrate this and put it on my site at www.graphicsdistrict.com if you like. Send me an email (there’s a link on the front page of the site) and give me the full details of what you’d like to see and I’ll have it done within a few days.

Not sure about the take and make aspect!!
But to fill a font with a picture – open your image – select the ‘Horizontal or Vertical Type mask tool’ Type the text you require at the size you want – move the text over the picture to the place you want to copy, change to the select tool – copy and then paste to a new layer.

Thanks so much for the directions. I’d been wondering how to do that too. I just tried it and it worked for me.

— snip

An alternative method is to create your type layer — do not rasterize, leave it as vector text.

Place your picture on a new layer on top of the text.

ALT-Click on the line in the layers pallette that separates these two layers. This creates a clipping group, causing the text to now contain your image. The primary advantage of this method is that your text and image both remain editable.
