Quick Tutorial // Easy Metal Texture // Vector // Beginner - ΛRСΛNЄ ΛRTS - Nov 1, 2012

Moving onto the Tutorial. This is a very simple and basic way to make a nice clean brushed metal texture using photoshop's tools. It is a vector and it is the same thing i used to make this badge:

It is very simple and there are 2 variations to it. You may have seen this before but it's still a very simple and fun way to acquire a very clean texture.
VARIATION 1 looks like this: Spoiler (Click to View)
VARIATION 2 looks like this: Spoiler (Click to View)

~Step 1: Stepping Stones~
Create a new canvas with whatever size you want (it's a vector so size doesn't matter). Then fill the background with whatever colour you wish (it will be the colour of the metal)
For the purposes of this tutorial, i went with black.

~Step 2: Adding the Noise~
You can do that by going to Filter --> Noise --> Add Noise. Make sure you bump it up to 300% and check the box next to 'MonoChromatic' and Gaussian. Here's an image for reference:

~Step 3: Blur it out~
The next step and the final step is to use either a motion blur with the settings below to achieve that nice brushed metal effect:

The motion blur is found under Filter --> Blur --> Motion Blur

OR

You can use Radial blur with the settings below to create the round metal with the same clean but grainy texture:

And the radial blur is found under Filter --> Blur --> Radial Blur
