Land / Sea Fill Textures

[ravells]

Yes, Alienskin...and I use the Xenoflex and Eye Candy filters which are stunning, because with a lot of them you can make them seamlessly tile by just ticking a box.

For example play around with the 'fur' filter, but make the colours blue and white. You can generate some pretty lovely sea textures using it. Using greeny colours is good for generating grass.

The other one which I use a lot is 'jiggle' use it on mountains and then use an emboss layer style to give your mountains some interesting edge shapes.

The 'little fluffy clouds' filter is a lot more powerful than photoshop's cloud filter, and you can make it seamlessly tile too.

'HSB variation' is another very useful tool to add interest to forests etc.

I'm not sure it's worth doing a tutorial for as so few people have it, but if there's more interest I'd be delighted to.
