Pattern Swatches Applied to Mockup and Shown True to Size?

[xtna884]

Hi there, I'm a pattern designer (in the wallpaper industry) and when I have a pattern swatch in Illustrator, I'd like to apply it to a blank wall in a photograph to create a realistic mockup that shows it at the proper true scale. This easily shows potential buyers what the pattern swatch sample would look like on the wall, if they were to buy it. How can I make this happen and have it appear true to size? Are there AI generators for wallpaper/pattern illustrations? I know some people use AI to create a pattern itself, but whether it's created manually in Illustrator - or by AI, I'm curious about showing it in mockup format. Thanks for any help!

You need to figure out the size. That part will not happen automatically.

Then find a photo of walls.

Draw some rectangles and apply the pattern to them. The recangle should have the proportions as the wall in your photo.

Then use the mockup feature.

Do you know of any AI generator that will do this, in Adobe or third-party on an external site? If I do this manually, I typically have purchased a photoshop image with a nice interior setting and a blank wall that is already set up as a mockup (drag art to smart layer). I am not certain it appears true to illustrator swatch scale though. I also don't know the size of the actual wall in the photograph, if that matters.

If you have a PSD Mockup template, then you can only use the automatism in Photoshop, but it, too, won't do automatic scaling.

@xtna884 that sounds like a perfect app that needs to be made! If I was better at coding skills, I be all over that!

I know! I was hoping one already existed or that I could tell AI to apply it true to scale.

A.I. has no sense of space or measurement.
