Flexi 8 fill

[buddyratley]

Hi, I have Flexi 8, is there a way to create a new fill and then add it to the fill bar. i.e. If I want wood grain looking letters, can I create a fill and then us it to fill my letters?
Thanks

Yes you can. It works best if your texture is a seamless texture tile but a large, non repeating image can also work. If you go to the home page of my seamless tile site and watch the movie that plays when you click Seamless Tiles, a little over half way through you will see how to "define a pattern" in Flexi, as well as simply masking a large background.

Watch that and then ask question if you have any.
