Join Deke McClelland for an in-depth discussion in this video 006 Creating a hammered metal background, part of Deke's Techniques.
Hey gang! This is Deke McClelland, here to welcome you to Deke's Techniques.…Now, you may recall last week I showed you how to render type in gold.…In the background, I featured a hammered metal surface texture.…It's entirely synthetic.…It's something you can create in Photoshop in about five minutes, frankly, and I…am going to show you how to do it inside of this movie. Here it is.…Now, the approach is this.…You start off with a dummy Smart Object.…It doesn't matter what's in it. Then you apply the Clouds filter and then…Difference Clouds and then Glass, and then you top it off with a Rusted Metal…pattern overlay effect.…

Here, let me show you exactly how it works.…In this movie, I am going to show you how to create a hammered metal effect.…
