Rusterizer by CorvusCroax

This is very good. I like it!

Thanks! I'd love to see some of the stuff you do with it.

Skybase, what do you mean by tarnish? You mean like shiny metal, like silver, with darkened, smudgy bits? Like a copper or bronze statue?
I was messing around with making the rust more 'streaky' and as if caused by water, but it didn't look all that great... too random. (Keeping fingers crossed for 'wind blur' in FF2.0)

There are some pics of what I was using this for in my 'junkyard' thread: CLICKY!

I think I'm making a series of heightfield-input based filters. (Along with Bling-o-Tron, stonhenge, and so forth.)

pretty cool, corvus. how about adding some flakey bits or incorporating some of the effects from filters like cracked paint and that line?

Very nice. Only thing I would like to see would be a control to shift the color into the green range so you could have a patina like on the Statue of Liberty.

Corvus, thank you for submitting more filters, these are all really nice!

Why hasn't this gone EP?

CorvusCroax that is awesome.

And I like it too!

Used this filter on a Twitter icon then re-painted by hand and added a crackle effect

Just a SMIDGE... Looks like it's been welded to the bottom of a tank.

One for Facebook as well...

Possibly? I have nVidia SLI GPU's... is it something I need to force or will it happen automatically? I'm hand painting the rusted/filtered layer and setting a low feather for the magic wand to get that random scraped look. Most of everything else you see is a brushed on effect.

No... not nVidia then, all brushes in PS CS4..

Another image I whipped up today using your awesome filter! Painted metal logo for the Swedish metal band "In Flames" LOVE this filter, blowing people away with some of the output.

Hey, cool Thrash!

What would you think of a similar filter, but with more polished steel and rust? Like the mythbusters logo. Kind of like this:


Btw: I just picked up the Digital Juice. It's a huge library of animated vectors. (you can also just render them out as psd or AI files, too) They had a nice 2-for 1 sale going on.

OK: check out my 'junkyard' - I'll post the stuff there.

nice, thrash

Did a set of icons for someone's webpage, this example was one I really liked using "Rusterizer" to make a Furl social media icon. Went for a crackled baked enamel look that is starting to decay. Click on it to see it's correct proportion, for some reason the forum is distorting the graphic.

Taking the icons a bit further... adding some realistic rust and damaged metal.... the Diigo Social Media icon:

This filter is brilliant, and its examples are impressive!!!

Aw, shucks! Thanks folks!

I'll think about that copper one, Thrash. You know, the bronzerizer is not far from copper - would just take a little bit of adjustment.

A steel radial I did for some of the 3D sci-fi world builders on DeviantArt:

Not filters, brushes, sorry. I take a 2D icon logo in black & white, use the rusterizer on it to get a steel 3D version. Select the areas I need to color and keep those on separate layers. Once I get all the layers created and colored, I merge them into one layer and then use a cracked brush set on clear to make cracks where you can see through the "paint" and the steel below it. About 50% clear will make it see through all the way, 25-35% will make that crackled look even a bit better where it appears the paint is still intact, just cracked.

Some of those icons I've done have over 5000 downloads! People love that grunge and beat up look, thanks to Corvus, I can deliver!
