Making a plastic texture with The GIMP (NewsForge)

[Posted April 14, 2005 by cook]

Jozsef Mak makes textures with the GIMP in a NewsForge article. "I got the idea for this project during a visit to a jewelry art exhibition. The artwork on display incorporated an amazing range of unconventional media, including rusted iron, precious stones and metals, wood, plastic, and the like. One of the most interesting creations among the "wearable art pieces" was a plastic object with a satin finish. I liked this satin effect so much that I decided to re-create it as a graphic material using the GIMP."

I enjoyed this article. I like informative, howto-esque pieces. I am a bit disappointed at the quality of comments received on Newsforge for the piece. Brutal, to say the least.

Yes. NF's audience /does/ seem rather less forgiving than LWN, that's
certain. "Brutal" is too often an apt description. One might wonder how
many spend most of the rest of their time posting to /.
