This texture was generated in Filter Forge, a Photoshop plugin that allows you to create your own filters.
Using a *much* simplified version of my "Wood for Control Freaks," I give you "Weathered Barn Wood" – painted wood planks that can show various degrees of weathering and/or thicknesses of paint. Great for Old West scenes or rundown urban warehouses. Heck, flip it on its side and you can have "Weathered Wood Siding." ^_
This is a surface texture, so it can be a bit slow. If you want a faster, but not as smooth, render, you can turn off anti-aliasing.
Huge thanks to Quasimodo for the "Rotate 90 Degrees" snippet, and to jitspoe for the paint gloss routine in "Rust Peeling Paint." :-D
Have fun!
