Type can be warped in all kinds of ways, in this video tutorial I show you how to warp it when it is combined with a layer and that layer is then turned into a smart object and warped via the Photoshop 2020 edit menu and transform and warp and the design is folded and distorted in all kinds of ways. The artwork is then selected and edit menu and define pattern or it is saved as a pattern preset via the pattern panel. You can then use it via the edit menu and fill command with the random fill script to create all kinds of amazing patterns / textures for use in fills and brush textures etc

The new warp updates make it super easy in Photoshop 2020 to create all kinds of amazing new pattern tiles which can then be used in tools such as the fill command (random fill script) to create 1000s of unique and abstract pattern tiles. You can use any design as a smart object and then apply the warp transform to that and then use the split warp to distort the design in countless ways and use that tile as a source for a pattern definition in Photoshop. The video uses features only in Photoshop 2020 and upwards (though you can create similar in earlier versions such as 2019 etc as well)

The warp transform has no repeat feature but you can get around this by using actions. An action can be created with a warp transform in Photoshop CC 2020 (2021 2022 etc) and then applied to multiple layers. You can then also use smart objects along with the warp transform and re-edit the transformation. You can then combine them all into a smart object and then apply a warp or the same warp (via the edit menu or via the actions panel respectively) to the artwork. You can then combine it with effects such as oil paint
