That tutorial creates a very regular and smooth looking pattern. Marks background image looks a lot less regular and less smooth. It looks more like an artifact from nature, like a sandy surface, where the tutorial pattern looks the opposite - the product of a mechanized process. Thanks for chipping in, but I'm after an effect that is quiet different. -- bob (via www.gimpusers.com) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] How do I create a rough, noisy concrete texture
Hi all. I'd like to be able to create a rough, even texture. The perfect examples are these: http://data.markjardine.com/tumblr/img/bg_texture.png http://data.markjardine.com/tumblr/img/button_nav_right.png The texture dominates the design style at: http://markjardine.com/ I know that style is a little trendy and all. But I still think it's a nice effect. I've been able to achieve it before, but I can't figure out how to do it again. I can't quite get it with just HSV noise. I've been playing with the noise generator: http://registry.gimp.org/node/13016 I can get kind of close with just gaussian noise, stdev set to 2.5. But my result seems a little blurry. How would you guys create this effect ? -- bob (via www.gimpusers.com) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
