I'm wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of a good cobblestone texture, preferably one that has a worn, ancient look to it. 

Thanks!

 If you can find something that looks right, you could take a pic of it, then apply it onto a flattened cube to make a piece of the path, then maybe save a black and white image of it with some contrast added and (more experienced people please correct me here) some gaussian blur, then apply that as a bump map or displacement map.
Love esther

look on turbosquid   search for textures, and lower priced first. There is 3 good textures there. I used one in my render "Waiting"

would something like this do good for you? If so let me know and i will email you the big one(;

The only problem with using photos in this instance (and I was going to post a thread about this as well) is that this particular model I'm using has to be exported from Silo (the program I made it in) as a wavefront OBJ file (if I try 3ds there's always something wrong with it), and so far I've noticed that OBJ files don't seem to be able to use pictures as textures.....anyone else notice this?

Thanks even so everyone!

Depends on how it's UV Mapped.  I've made .objs, uvmapped them and then used a photo as a texture before - works fine normally

I don't understand why I would have to do all that though, since, if I export the model as a 3ds (in this case I can't) it works fine....I'll have to learn more about UV mapping, I guess....thanks FrantT.....oh, incidently, I'm a Frank as well....

By the way, a GREAT resource for textures, though it costs money, are the Dosche Design textures, I got one for Stone, which has really sweet stuf like that, plus proper bump / specular maps :)

yeah, I have a Dosch DVD - comes with Diffuse, bump and spec maps which is great

If you want to create your own normal maps, bump, displacement....ect try Crazy Bump it works great. I use it all the time.

yeah RandC spedler turned me on to CrazyBump,and as soon as BETA runs out (which for me is today) and it goes on sale i am going to buy it for sure. without a doubt THE BEST texture program i have ever seen

I am working on 3D cobblestons right now. Here is a first result with one texture. Of course I work on several other textures too Stones can be used separately as well as the ecosystem that you see here. Right now I have a dark texture, a moss covered one, a reddish one and a light one. What I want and hold me back from publishing the thing is a wet texture. But it will come (soon).

this one does not look to good. The modeling is so-so,but the mottled texture is not so good(;

Interesting point:
here in Scotland, the cobblestones in Glasgow and some other large towns & cities were granite, quite smooth/shiny.
Absolute evil b*stards though when icy, lol!!

Nearly all those cobblestones are gone, at leeast on the surface, in some places, when they dig the roads up for maintenance, you can see them underneath, sitll there.
