The enthralling look of the effects of weathering, aging and corrosion on the colors and textures of a variety of surfaces hits our craving for the art of transformation. Most of us today desire unique and strange textures, this is why there is a high demand for polish of aged, rusty metal textures.

But you need not worry because you can now design an aging metal texture through the help of Photoshop Trick. All you have to do is start on a gray background and add layers of age – like corrosion, scarring, flaking, mottling, chipping until you reached your desired distraught look. You can also make use of a variety of techniques like layers, Gaussian blurs, blend modes, saturation controls, burn tool and a lot more.

These textures are provided for non-commercial use only. They may be freely used as backgrounds, textures in 3D scenes, parts of images and other uses but they may not be redistributed as a texture collection. The textures are divided into the following categories and an attempt has been made not to saddle any single page with several images. You should be aware that some textures could be interpreted in a number of ways.

In texturing applications it is required that to be able to "tile" the texture over a bigger region than the texture segment covers. In the ideal case the texture segment automatically tiles, that is, if it laid out in a grid it forms a seamless exterior. For texture segments that don't have well-built directional structure a common tiling method involves mirroring each second segment so that adjacent edges match. This larger segment can now be repeated in the normal way indefinitely as all the edges will now join without discontinuities. Sometimes a mixture of mirroring and direct tiling can be applied, that is, mirror tile in one direction and do a straightforward tile in the other direction.

Some of the most common texture mapping methods are illustrated by mapping the simple rectangular tile texture on the right onto a cube, sphere, and cylinder. Repeated tiling is used in all cases and where possible the tiling scale factors are kept constant. With these extremely high-res textures, you can ultimately conquer the realistic depiction of corrosion, scratches, decay, peeling paint, stains, surface damages, as well as dirt, dust, ash and more. Your "old surfaces" will never have looked so authentic!

We will be happy to help your ability to customize textures along a path - complete with texture shapes that will catch everybody’s attention. It is nice to know that you can make a wide-variety of texture selection that are made not by other person but yourself and your creativity. The ability to bevel a texture at the time of creation would be nice, saving the time and process of an additional beveling filter.

Style your texture on your own refined customizations using Photoshop Trick. It can help you transform bare textures to mysterious and impressive rusting and aging metal textures which interprets the passage of time in its patina!
