This is a combination of adding noise and a motion blur to create a brushed metal look. Looking at the texture now, I think i could have blurred it less. It looks more like just a cool background rather than metal. I do find it fascinating how you can combine all of these effects to create cool designs.This is a texture that I made with what I call “blue grass”. I got the image off of unsplash.com and took a small portion from it. I definitely think that I could have chosen a different area that had less drastic dark and light areas. While I did blur the edges, you can still see the square pattern to it.
