Thank you for your answer(-s), lululee ! Yeah, I somewhat understood you had gone about building the textures this way and of course, it's a usable way. The method I was thinking of - the tutorial I found - was a similar method of applying the wet drops-and-trickles effect to existing textures. You generated the effect on a layer in Photoshop and merged layers. That part I've got, but it was how the very watery effect was done to make it look like drops and - hardest of all - trickles. No good using - say - EyeCandy filters for it. Looks very faked indeed. Well, I'll just wait and see if someone comes up with the tut. If not, I'll give it a go the Toxic Angel-way... ... or just chuck the whole idea and buy your textures. ;-) Thank you for sharing, lululee ! -- Bakkti -- www.jiger.org
