Happy Holidays everyone!

I have not been on here a whole lot, but I do check in to see what new things everyone comes up with.

Anyways, I have a question or two. Has anyone done tutorial on how to make a wood texture? I looked, but did not dredge one up from the depths in a search. I learned to make a wood texture from scratch today. I actually used a PS tutorial, did it in PS CS2, and it took me forever to do. I decided to try out my new learned technique in Gimp. I did it in about a 1/4 of the time. Ha!

If no one else has done one, I would like to. My contribution to our tutorial list for learning so much from everyone else here.

Actually, here is my sample wood texture I made today. Anyways, I guess I won't do one now. lol Yours is a good tutorial though. Wonder why it did not come up in my search? Hmmm.... Oh well.

Thanks for your input.

Create a new layer filled with a brown color.
Use RGB noise to add some noise to the layer.
Now use wind to create some lines/grain out of the noise.
Using IWARP create some knots.
colorize to your satisfaction.
