Wandering Soulstar Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Hi All, I need to make some cracked glass textures. GIMP (2.8) is the tool I use for textures, and where the existing panes of glass that I want to put random cracks into were made. I have looked, but not found so far, to see if there was a filter/function in GIMP that would give me a cracked glass effect .... So .. anyone out there have a suggestion for how to do this in GIMP? Thanks! Wanda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierre Ceriano Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Hello there ! I would start from white background, then add a transparent layer on its top, then add some dirt : Filters > Render > Noise > Plasma Colours > Desaturate > Desaturate > Mode average Then use or add some brushes from/to your Paintbrush tool : you have many googling ; I would use those, or those. Optional : colorize a bit ; maybe a kind of brown ? (Html 2e2609 for me) Then play with the opacity till it fits your expectation (I choose 50 %), remove the white layer and export to .png 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wandering Soulstar Posted December 17, 2018 Author Share Posted December 17, 2018 Thanks so much @Pierre Ceriano !!! I am truly a basics amateur when it comes to using GIMP (or any graphics design tools) and the ponter for the paint brushes was precisely what I needed and learned a whole new aspect to GIMP.
