i tried to recreate a rusted steal texture. what i did in order to achieve this was i created a noise and motion blurred it to make it look like brushed steal. once i did this i added a layer on top and coloured with a low opacity brush of the colour i wanted my rust to be after this i aded a noise to it and then motion blurred it to make it have the same look as the steal this made it look ok but it took away from the steal look. so in order to bring back the steal look i duplicated the steal layer and put it ontop then changed the layer to multiply
and ended up with the top picture.
i dont think that my version of rust was well created as. the bottom picture is an actual photo of rusted metal and well my creation is far from the actual thing. i think that if i were to take this texture further then i would have added allot more layers on top with different colours. i would also try different tools. or maybe take a photo and merge the two to make it look more ruff. like rusted metal would. as my version looks to smooth to be rusted
