Anyone have a quick and easy way to make metal textures? For example, the kind you would find on the armor plates of, say, the Millennium Falcon, which I imagine would have an unfinished rough appearance that would look slightly pebbled and pitted, but nothing over the top or super memory-intensive (the way vector and post-script fills seem to be). Really just looking for a way to add a weathered appearance.I've gone through the metal textures and various settings, and so far, nothing looks quite right. Hoping that one of the more experienced users will have a tip for creating that rough finish in battleship gray.
If a bitmap pattern fill is acceptable, do an internet search for "weathered metal texture", for example.Should bring up a number of different textures.
How much memory does that eat up, though? I've noticed CorelDraw tends to bog down a bit with more detailed fills, and I'm still new to the whole texturing thing.
