Topic awaiting preservation: Mountain Textures (Page 1 of 1)

I have checked out the website (fantastic resource by the way!) and can see that almost anything can be turned into a believable texture. It is explained in http://www.handson.nu/HTML/lightFX4.shtml that one of the images was created by applying a "Cloud" filter on the mask, and then darkening the edges.

This effect is simply just what I have been looking for to help create some mountain effects for a map I am currently drawing in Photoshop. Sadly I just don't get how you have created the effect. Please can anyone share how it was achied step by step....

Thanks all!

Dave

Ummmm...

"Virtually anything can turn into a believable texture. The image below was created by applying a "Cloud" filter on the mask, and then darkening the edges."

I mean, how can you possibly have a question about that? The tutorial is right there! Have you tried doing the tutorial at all?

Your first step should be try the tutorial, then ask questions. Not the other way around.

bilbobaggins: Welcome.

If I understand correctly you want to know where to find the Cloud filter? Its one of the standard ones that comes with PhotoShop. Look under filters or in the manual.

Sorry if I've misunderstood

If all you're looking for is the filter:

Filter > Render > Clouds

I have tried to follow the tutorial and as a Layman am lost when trying to generate the same textured mountain effect shown on the tutorial page.

As to where the Cloud filter is...I got that far cheers!

Any idea how you get from the cloud effect to the finished effect as shown on the page?

I would appreciate the help!

Go back to here: www.handson.nu and start with the Lighting Effects 1 tutorial. Then do the 2nd Lighting Effect tutorial, then the 3rd, then thr 4th. After you've completed all of those tutorials you should know how to do it, the tutorials are numbered 1 2 3 and 4 for a reason, because the later tutorials assume you've done the earlier ones and don't bother explaining certain parts in full.

^ Yup. Can't really be explained more than that.

Get to know the Lighting effects filter well, and then get in some good time practicing creating different bump-maps to work with.
