[Gimp-user] Rough metallic surface I wanted to make a rough metallic surface and I ended up with this by fiddling around with a back-to-white gradient and emboss it. I finally got a clean 200x200 image that alings seamlessy and can be used as a pattern: http://www.staldal.nu/gimp/patterns/metallic.pat (You can make it golden by colorify with yellow.) Are there any other strateiges for making a rough metallic surface? (Feel free to use this pattern if you like it.) You might use a bump map. Open a suitable image, plenty if you search google images, in your case perhaps part of a larger image as a base. Then in your new image it is filters -> map -> bumpmap and point at the 'rusted' image. You get an effect like this. http://i.imgur.com/73HYK.jpg Since you are aiming at a small image for a tilable pattern, then its filters -> map -> make tilable.

If you need Photoshop, run it under Wine. CS3 and CS5 run very well according to the Wine Compatibility list: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=17 > I could never use this buggy junk pile over photoshop...

Doing so would certainly draw Gimp into the shallow waters of patent infringement. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
