I am looking for floor tiles.

I want small tiles something along the lines of the size in the linked picture. It doesn't have to be that pattern, but about that size.

I downloaded a bunch of tiles from Archibase but they are gargantuan when I apply them to the floor and rendered; each tile appearing 5 times the size of the figure.

Are those textures seamless? It's easy to tile a texture in P5/P6, just reduce the UScale and VScale on the texture map node to a value between 0 and 1. For instance, a value of 0.1 will reduce the texture to 10% of its size and automatically tile it.

Acadia, if you haven't already, you should download WoodWorkshop. You can do tiles like that and so much more with it! They also have a forum where you can ask for help if you need it. France

Ahhh, so that's what those lines are for!!!! LOL I'll try that. They seem to be seamless, though after rendering the tiles are so large that there are only about 8 tiles on the screen, so it's hard to tell. I'll reduce the value and see what happens. Thanks :)

Yup, the UScale and VScale are pretty cool. I managed to make a good looking fishnet transmap using a 32x32 bitmap, scaled at 0.01/0.01. In P4/PP it would be 3200x3200px....

They do turn out to be seamless and a setting of .05 gave me the size I was looking for. I'm rendering from slightly above, so I wanted smaller tiles so it didn't overwhelm the figure. Before the tiles were so large that she totally fit into the space of 2 tiles, LOL If you haven't already, you should check out those textures at that site. Some really great possibilities for floors. Some are even luminescent.

Ill throw in a vote for Genetica, too (the pay for version of Wood Work Shop). This pic shows some of the tile sample templates in Genetica. Change a few parameters, render the texture and you have something thats yours with none of those pesky coma inducing copyright issues. Its easy to build textures from scratch if you dont want to use their templates. This is my favorite utility along side UVMapper Pro.

some GREAT textures at this site; however, there are commercial use restrictions as I recall

I use tiledtextures.com They've got a ton of really nice textures, and, I believe they even have a free archive there, as well.

Not exactly floor tiles, but tileable images can be easy to make in a 2D image manipulation program (depending on the original image).

Here's one I made from a photo I took and converted to tileable in Picture Publisher 8. (feel free to use if you want). Gravel...
