Does anyone have - or know where to find - some cork textures that can be used in Bryce, so either photo or Bryce procedural?

Plus I'm also looking for any decent slightly worn looking textures that could be used for a shop counter.  Same proviso, either photo or Bryce procedural.

Not a texture site, but they sell cork flooring;

Found 2 cork textures at the site above under the catagory of wood. All textures are in alphabetical order.

Also in this site in the wood/cork section page 2, wood5.jpg is a cork texture

Well, can't see what Electroglph posted...obviously he don't want me around. That's no matter to me. I find I can give intstructive, vital information to all those that need Bryce and Photoshop information without account!

Huh??

Well they may not be meant as textures but they'll work out just fine as far as I can tell by just looking at them (she says, hurriedly saving the site).  Thanks AS.

Quest, those are not quite what I had in mind - being more the uncut outer surface of the cork - from what I can see - but I've saved those too - as you never know what'll come in handy.  So thanks for that too.

The 'wood5' you mentioned looked better until you see the whole thing in close-up, and then you can see that it's really wood chip, but again could be handy in the future - I don't seem to have many decent wood textures any way so I'm taking them all... (I find I can save jpegs to a pen drive here at college - at least - no one's stopped me yet).

I have absolutely no idea what the other thing is you were talking about - but your texture suggestions are gratefully received, and gobbled up hastily...

Huh?? Huh?....Oh!

Sorry

I tried to post a mat file directly. Thought the new php forums would allow for other types of files. The website said we're posting your comments anyway but we aren't posting the file. I deleted the entire post then got busy and never reposted. I didn't realize anyone could still see the post. I'll put up a zip in a zip.

This is the DTE texture I whipped up. Download it from the link.

Nothing to do with cork, but you can make your own seemless wood textures as you need them with the Wood Workshop program in the attached link there. It's pretty easy to use and best of all, FREE:biggrin:

Sorry Electroglyph, AgentSmith, didn’t realize but should have known it was another usual php hang-up which so often happens here. You see, after I posted I went back to the main forum and saw there that you had posted but when I entered to read the post, your post was nowhere to be found. After going back and forth a couple times I erroneously suspected I was on your ignore list and took offense. Silly me, my apologies to all concerned.

 

Fran, sorry about that but I was only trying to help you. Didn’t look very closely at any of the textures but since it said wood/cork I assumed it to be a cork texture. If you go back to that zink/galvanized steel material I made in one of our prior discussions here, you can use that by changing the colors and it would look something like the image above.

 

P.S. If you like the results, let me know and I shall post them as clearly as I can for all to understand with images.

 

electroglyph,

Thanks for that, I'll take a look later when I get back to my own computer.

dvlenk6,
I think I might have woodworkshop already downloaded (which would be a good thing as I can't download such things here at college)  But then I never did find time to install it and try it out... as far as I recall.

I'll have to have a look....

Quest,

No no, don't appologise, I did say I grabbed them anyway.  I'll test them in the scene, but if they don't work for that they'll certainly work for other things.

Those you posted above look nice, and thinking about what you said I might be able to do the same with MY galvanised metal texture - I did the same as you after you did it, but I don't think I used the christmas balls materials as a starter, I think I went a bit deeper into the DTE, with one of the noises - can't remember now though.

I certainly DO like the results you got and I'm interested in how you did it.

For the cork texture from scratch:

 

Illustration#1:

 

Open Bryce create model. In material lab place a bead in the “A” channel.

In the DTE set up all the colors in component #1 as indicated, these colors can be changed to taste.

 

Set the color mode for component #1 to RGB-Spline Interpol. Then proceed to the noise dialog and edit:

 

Type=Voronoi ID1

Mode=Minimum

Octaves=3

Direction XY=80

Direction YZ=0

Frequency X, Y and Z =115

Set to 2D

 

In the Phase dialog:

 

Type=RND Linear

Mode=Standard

Octaves=2

Direction XY, YZ=0

Frequency X, Y, Z=89

Set to 3D

 

Setup component filters as indicated and accept changes.

 

Combination component color mode should be set to “none”.

 

Illustration#2:

 

From the Textures library bring up Swirlwave as channel “B” material.

 

Illustration#3:

 

From the Textures library bring up Basic Tile as channel “C” material.

 

Illustration#4:

 

For the Basic Tile material enter the DTE and shut off all components except the first. Bring up the noise dialog and bring the frequency to 1.

 

Illustration#5:

 

Channel’s 1 and 2 should be set to “Object Cubic” and the channel 3 set to “Object Space”.

 

Edit scale controls for channels A, B and C as follows:

Channel A=135

Channel B=150

Channel C=18

All scales can be manipulated to taste.

 

Set diffusion value=55 and bump to somewhere around 3 and everything else off.

 

Illustration#6

 

Save it in your material folder and label it “Cork”

 

 

Thanks for that - I've saved it and I'll go cut up the image so I can see it later.

know what it remindes me of?

Particle Board, particle board, particle board hates pywood board, if they fight, particle wins -not They Might Be Giants..;)

Well, I'm sorry but right behind me I have a cork board and you know what? It looks just like the marerial specifics I illustrated here. I'm into construction, I cetainly do know what  particle board looks likes, this is not it! You can make it look like it if you want. So use the Bryce material to your will.

 

 

Thanks for the tutorial.  I've made the cork and it's pretty good match for my cork tiles in the kitchen.  I have a couple of questions as I'm still fumbling my way around understanding building materials from scratch.

For component A, you specified settings for the filters for both components 2 and 3 even though in your screenshot they are turned off.  I'm wondering if this explains some of the weirdness I've found when I try to tweak other presets...  does the filter still work on the final texture even when the components are turned off and not set to any sort of blend mode?

The basic component A looked pretty good already as cork to my eye so I'm not clear what the swirlwave and basic tile achieve.  I remember that the basic tile is only contributing the alpha to determine the mixture of swirlwave and cork?  But this alpha is looking fairly straight grey?

Anyway, I never miss a chance to study the DTE these days, I love the power it gives to make my Bryce scenes more unique so thanks for teaching me a little more.

Yeah, the thing about cork is that as a natural material, it varies a lot, some looks rather like the particle board stuff, and some looks less uniform like in the links AS gave.

 - the DTE IS great fun to play around with, isn't it?
