The topic is textures; we use them in just about every app, and this month presents a challenge/opportunity to strut your prowess to the group and generate (or retrieve from your archives) some really good textures!
How about some conditions:
?Dont't post a preset, that is, create, scan, or draw a texture you can call your own. I know that PS and Xara ship with oodles of nifty fills, but we've been there, alright?
?Try to make the textures seamless, so they can tile when repeated. Part of the object this month is to swap textures; I'm always hungry to use fresh and new stuff myself.
?Try generating an alpha along with your texture to use as either a transparency or bump map. PS's Lighting Effects filter produces some terrific embossed work through reading a bump map.
To kick things off, here's a submission or three.
My Best,
Gare
