Does anyone know of any good tutorials for photoshop on creating metalic looking textures? I have found some, but they don't provide the results I am looking for. Basicly, I want to create something that looks like this, or close to it. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v145/Rou...es/File0015.jpg

The very best method is to actually use a photograph and manipulate it to the texture. Hand doing it can be quite difficult. Start off with a mid grey base and add hilights and shadows. Perhaps include a very light hint of light blue in places, keep referring back to pictures.

Here is the evolution of my attempt at doing bare aluminum. In the end I used the texture from an actual picture of an aluminum plane.http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho...g_id=1585&page=
