We then launch <a href=\"http:\/\/www.filterforge.com\/?affiliateid=200100725\" target=\"_blank\">FilterForge<\/a> to create a texture, using basic metal by CFandM.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/4eyes.code66.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/plb304a.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6311\" title=\"plb304a\" src=\"http:\/\/4eyes.code66.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/plb304a.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We add that texture to the steps.
