I personally found nothing remarkable didn't like the examples you provided - I guess going to filters->noise->hurl, followed by colors->desaturate and colors->curves to fit the gray ranges to desired values should give you better results. I am more for stuff likje this when talking concrete, though: http://www.pion.com.br/~gwidion/concrete.png A little of the above + "secret sauce" + bump map "secret sauce" recipe: 1.new image 2. filters->noise->hurl 3. colors->desaturate 4. layers->duplicate 5. on the bottom layer, filters->blur->gaussian blur, radius 3 6. on the top layer, set the layer to "darken only" 7. combine the 2 noise layers 8. create new layer, fill with medium gray 9. filters->map->bump map; source = noise layer, angle <= 10ยบ. 10. optionally use color->curves to fit your gray range. > Hi Owen. > > That tutorial creates a very regular and smooth looking pattern.
