Hello All,

Has anyone come across a material file that looks like the forest floor of a pine forest? I am looking for something that would give the impression of layers of dead pine needles.

Thanks for any replies.

If you can wait a few weeks till lots of needles have dropped I could take some photos as I live 10 minutes away from a pine forest.

If you need it quicker, you may find somehing here.
There is another site that's a good resource for images but that's in my favs on my pc and I'm on the laptop at the moment - sorry.  Maybe someone else will come up with the link

try CGTextures.com
They have loads and loads of different textures

imageafter.com is another good one

Are you looking for photo textures or a procedural texture for VUE?  Geekatplay.com has several pine needle and forest floor procedual textures that I used in my lastest golf course image.

Thank you everyone for your replies.

Gillbrooks, unfortunately this is something that I would like to get done sooner rather than later, but I will check out the link you gave and I do appreciate your offer to take some photos. I would do so myself, but unfortunately we already have about 10-15 cm of snow on the ground. Too bad I didn't think of the scene sooner!

FrankT and Sangelico, thank you for the links as well. I will also check them out.

Gary Miller, I will check out Geek at Play to see what they have, and also your golf course tutorial. Are the Geek At Plat textures in a package or are they for sale individually?

I have two different sets of bitmap textures that I have made and never used so far.
What would you need? Pine needles with scarce green grass or pine needles with yellow grass?

These textures are 2000*2000, tileable and based on photos.

Hello offrench,

Thank you for your offer. The one I would need would be the one with the yellow grass. Do you require my e-mail address?

I have added them on my website in the 3d textures section.

I have made two separate textures so that they may be mixed to avoid the repetitive patterns you generally get when using bitmaps. I have also included bump maps (hence the file size).

Hope this helps.

Thank you offrench. I appreciate the help.
