Looking for corten texture

[Mats_Knutsson]

Hi,
Anoyone would like to share a nice large corten texture?
I tried (quick'n'dirty-style) in PS but it came out so bad I don't dare to post it here...
Ciao,
Mats

There is a nice photo from wikipedia -

-here-

If you click on it to launch the full size version, you could easily save it, then photoshop it.

i don't have one myself, but i would start out with a weathered concrete texture (there are some useful ones in the US/arroway textures library), and applying colour variations in PS...

then maybe give it a bit of noise?

just a thought . . .

i haven't played with texture origins, lighting and the like. and maybe it's a bit too orange. but is it getting close to what you're after, or am i miles away?

There's some nice metal textures that can be found in the object depository under 'Archicad Textures' which could be manipulated to look close enough to corten....

Particularly the 3-part texture library uploaded by Tibor Szolnoki

Thanks guys,
The wiki image I had found before and that's the style I'm after. I'll induldge in some serious PS-tweaking next week and try to create a huge texture. I guess I need to make smart use of the clouds filter.
I'll post results if I manage to do something reasonable OK.
Right now preparing a seminar tomorrow. Main focus is BIM from an architects point of view.

Go Obama!!!

PM me, I have a pretty good corten texture with bump and specular maps.
