Guys i really need help to create random textures. I read the one on teamphotoshop but it didn't help. I want the textures to look like these:

Please help me if you can.

Thanks!

Well, I tried going to the links you offered up, but nuttin' came up. I then tried to ping them and got these responses. As far as my internet connection tells me, they don't currently exist on the net. Though that could change...

but I have NO idea what texture you are talking about as the image holds a collage of several images and textures.


the second link you posted, like Mr.B said....

it times out on a ping.....
and 404's on the browser.

What I mean is the swirling lightings in the background, I'll try to get some mores images to show you what i mean.

ahhhh, those things...

Lemme see.....

honestly, they look like random airbrush/paintbrush strokes to me.... perhaps with one of the extra brushes you can load into photoshop, you know....those goofy lookin' ones...

Well, I took about 3 minutes to do this in PS. There is just no way to create a random texture to look like that. If anything, it seems the best way to create these lines or glowing hair or whatever is to draw lines on different layers, and using the wave filter and a tiny bit of motion blur. The red/orange glow around the lines is just that, an outer glow layer style on the lines. I then doubled up the layers, free transformed them a bit, and overlayed them on each other (I think, I at least used one of the blending modes on it). Of course, it isnt a perfect reproduction of the effect, but this is pretty good for the amount of time put into it (3 min).

If any one else has suggestions, here r two more examples:
