Hi all, i was wondering how could you make good textures??
like this one as example : http://www.angelfire.com/de3/dragondude/DDvegeto.gif

and how do you make your own brushes??

please tell me soon!

thanx. greetz from energy saiyan

well to be honest i dont have a clue how but im sure the MODS or some other people know how!!

What I do I start by rendering some clouds, then just mess around with some filters until you come up with something good looking, then mess around with some brushes.

lol... You can use crosshatch under the filter settings and get a scraty texture...
burshes? to make your own, right click, then choose the arrow. Go to New Brush and make one
If you wanna download any, http://nocturna.net/brushes/ is a good site..... zer0 gave it to me

Please explain to me HOW are you making brushes?? i dont understand!

you draw out anything in a new photoshop file then u go to edit > define brush. and it will allow you to brush anything u want...

you can make some pretty interesting brushes using the noise filter along with others, just make sure the size is only 100x100ish or youll have a huge brush (i usually dont even use the full area to be safe)

some good brushes can be found at www.vbrushes.combut like gfk said, if ur trying that style make a solid bg first then add ur brushes

For about %80 of my sigs I just play around with filters and see what I get. The sig I am using right now I got by playing with filters, colours and layer effects.

its ok, i still suck at backgrounds and i really dont get how to use brushes to make cool backgorunds ???

it comes with time and practice man
