While noclayto's how to make brushed metal and blended text tutorial i somehow made i realistic looking water

(Be4 we start i may be using a different version of The GIMP to you guys)

Here we go

Start a new canvas, do what ever size you like (i'll be doing 350x350)

Set u FG to a medium/dark blue

and set ur BG to a light blue

Heres my colours



U then do gradient like so



You then add noise, go to Filters, scattrer RGB and set it too



It should then look like this



Then go to Filters, Blur, Motion Blur and set it too



It should then look like this



-------------------------------

Okay that is what noclayto taught me, now this is where i come in!

This is so extremely easy, trust me!

Go to Filters, Light effects, Lighting effects

and do this



Then move over 2 tabs to Bump Map

Like this



Enable it

Then when your down this is what u'll have



Mmmm, Yummy!

This tut was brought to u buy emma :m:

*EDIT* for added effect, bump it twice!

FE Edit: Broken images. Removing from Official Tuts.

whoa, nice job!!!

Glad u like, it'd be nice for u to post ur results

Wonderful tut,but I had a hard time reading the numbers.Could you increase the size of the pics?

I too cannot see the numbers on that, but i am gonna have go - trial and error and al that!

Anyway, can i ask, what version of GIMP do you use, and Do you use windowblinds? If so, what blinds are they and could i get them from somewhere? Theyre Lush!

heh heh! How d'ya like my cute little trout?

Okay i fixed it up, Okay now, i'm gonna try make a new sig, with this technique, somebodys reflection technique and put the boat on the water will update when i do it!

Okay everyone, i finished the small sig, here it is
