So, I decided that I'd make my first texture from nothing but a white canvas, but I'm stuck(said texture is attached).
I'm to the point( I think) of where I should start putting in detail. I'm Going for something sci-fi here, but I have no idea where to start. As you can see on the image that shows GIMP, I do have a detail layer, but it's just a grey metal texture. If you need any more info please let me know ans I'm not sure what kinds of details to include!
Can you give us info as to the target engine? The reason I ask is because the engine selection alters how the texture should be judged.
Looks like a generic floor panel, but is it? Sounds like you don't know yourself what is going to be.
Depending on that I think there are things you can draw yourself and other you need to achieve using techniques like a mix of filters etc.
Usually a metal base is achieved by using Gaussian noise and a motion blur, to give that "brushed" feeling.

I know what I want it to be, just not how to execute it!
What I'm going for is a floor panel that was made to be easy to clean, and to be used in a moderately high pressure environment, hence the rivets and seemingly stamped panels. The specular mask you see(the dots) is a super thin coating - I'm just going to say graphene - that is anti-microbial, and durable. The underlying metal would be a brushed metal to enable to coating the be affixed to the surface(like similar process electroplating, or hydrographing, I'd gather).
Despite all that, that advice with the filters is absolutely what I needed! Thank you!
