A few people seem to like the texture I used on my last pic, so here it is. Use the same image as a bump and crank up the metallicity and reflection and away you go.

Create an even grey background Apply monochromatic noise Apply motion blur filter at 90 degrees

I made it from some old Photoshop tutorial to make "carbon fiber", before the recent look of carbon fiber got popular. It looks more like the material of say, a black nylon pouch, imo. I've got it in jpg form somewhere here...hold on. AS

Best give it out as the original 1024 x 1024 .bmp, but no worries, the 3MB image zips down to just 8KB. (because it only has 6 colors)

I find that in the Mat Lab, in the Texture Mapping Mode, I have to specifiy that the texture is set to "Repeat Tiling". Uusally a seamless image will just work as it should...but this one you have to set it to repeat, for it not to have a seam showing.

Download at the link.

Enjoy. ;o)

Couldn't you make that carbon fibre in the DTE? Seems to me the DTE was made for something like that.

Huh, seems I found all the Old tuts on textures, I used that carbon fibre one on my Octo-Corridor/Running Man image. And I can't get my version of the brushed metal texture not to show a seam... Even WITH clicking on "repeat Tiling". (sigh)

With my brushed texture? It's probably not tileable(If that's a word).

If you make your texture seamless before importing it into Bryce, then it should tile seamlessly.

FranOnTheEdge ( ) posted Wed, 23 November 2005 at 3:15 PM

Phil, No, with MY version of it, I've had it for a while now, but I made it the same way you did, and I've used it with success in the Octo-Corridor. I guess it just depend WHERE you put it... Oooh, I've just had an idea...

Fran, Take the texture into PSP, go to "Image->Image Effects->Seamless Tiling" and try the options there...:-)) (That's assuming you have PSP9. Maybe earlier versions also include it....) Cheers, Diolma
