Awesome Tutorial!
Those really come out good and very realistic looking.
The way you explain it, doesn't make it look that difficult either! Nice job on this.

You can also create a rectangle and fill it with a gradient and then a layer of texture on top. Its just another way of doing things.

Nice Tute. Now if I could just learn how to make the art part you do so well to complete your original photo. Amazin stuff.

Thanks for the comments on my tut guys.
I just found the .psd file to that pic I posted. I think Im going to add some more stuff to it and sell it as a print.

Where are you keepin all this high class art? Do you have an online gallery of what you call you high end stuff?

[Ace Bigalow]

I'm sure this is a noob problem.... I have one of the textures as the background and I have used the rectangular marquee tool to select where I want to make a pipe, but I can't figure out how to make that selection as the other texture. I try fill and all but no dice... pointers in the right direction would be appreciated..

make sure you first save the texture as a pattern. Then all you should have to do is go to edit/fill and select pattern.

Ahh o.k., I think I didn't save it the right way... Thanks ndg.
