Tutorial: Generate a stripe-like texture

Written by devvv (14 May 2007 11:50 PM)

You'll often need some short techniques to create a website banner, a forum signature or wallpapers. In this tutorial I'll show you how to create such a simple "texture" in less than five minutes!

  1. Open up a new file: 500x500px.
    Add a new empty layer.
    Choose Filter / Render / Clouds / Solid noise.
    Choose the values shown in the picture below:
    (x:0.1, y:16, random)

  2. Go to: Layer / Rotate Layer or just press SHIFT+R. Rotate it for 25°

    click to enlarge
  3. Choose the crop tool, adjust it to a certain part of the picture so that everything inside the selection is covered by the texture. Press ENTER.

    Optional: Filter / Enhance / Sharpen if you want to see more detail in your texture.

  4. Now choose (in GIMP 2.2: Layer /) Colors / Colorize.
    Move the brightness up a bit and take a color of your choice! I've taken a soft blue.

    Thats it!

I like that, simple, but really handy!
