Im trying to make a map but i need to know how to make this:


I use Gimp and i cant go on without knowing how to recreate the above.anyone?

try using some noise or clouds then use a gaussian blur with a very high value, i use gimp too.

Googling for: gimp brushed metal tutorial

Gave me this: http://gug.sunsite.dk/tutorials/brushed ... e0ddf64427

Actually, the search result gave me http://gug.sunsite.dk/?page=tutorials, which had a link to the above

There are a few brushed metal tutorials out there, but the ones I've looked at in the past have generally used this technique.

Cheers.

On second thought, that one uses a filter that's not in the gimp anymore.

Here's what I'd do:
Filters > Render > Clouds > Solid Noise
Set the x and y size up high
Filters > Noise > Spread
Set the spread amount up quite high (like 80?)
Filters > Map > Make Seamless
Then do either:
(a) Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur
with different horizontal and vertical values

OR

(b) Filter > Blur > Motion Blur

Filters-> Add noise with no r.g.b. Then do a motion blur with zero angle.

New image at something long and thin like 16x1024, add your noise, resize to 1024x1024.
