I’ve been trying to make a Metal surface in Photoshop.
I tryed to put in some rust spots, but it didn't look anything
close to real. Here is a picture of what i was trying to make.

you can make Metal Surfaces in Photoshop like this?

Well I'd have to agree it doesn't look much like metal.

I don't have any tips for improving the texture but maybe if you combined it with a specular and bump map you would get more of the effect your looking for.

Well i'm using 3dsmax, and after puting in the bitmap, i wasn't able to
put a bump map on.
