Man that took awile. Two of them well you'd spend days making them seamless and it would be sort of pointless cause the way the camera was sitting when they where taken. The leaf of the palm would have been great had it been taken so that the leaf was flat 90 degrees to the camera then I could have made it into a leaf texture for the trees. It's not so it's sorta pointless making it seamless. The other one I think is one of the hill pictures. Same thing cause it's not 90 degrees to the camera you will spend days making it seamless which is ok of cource but the problem with it is the plants in it. Because of those the resulting texture will be pointless in Vue probibly. Anyway I did the rest and some were not to easy to make seamless I might add. Some where downright tricky but I got them anyway. I never really shrunk them and there saved as jpg at setting 10 out of 12 for compression. I don't like jpgs and making seamless textures you will find out why real fast. Bmps are easier to work with. There kinda largish files but that's the way I like my textures. Better too big than too small. The whole works is just over 8 megs and I'll private message you where you can grab them at. Anyone gets these files. I never made a bump channel for Vue for the barks but it's easy to do just import the same picture into the bump channel part in the Vue program and it will work just fine. Gray scale works better but RGB works not to bad. You may have to invert the picture in the bump channel spot to get the bumps going the right way.
