On a texture expedition I found cool cells, calcinated corrugated paper fiber cells for commerical rooftop evaporative coolers, it took me awhile to convince the general contractor and crew to let me on the rooftop to photograph the HVAC unit they were replacing. I have different cross sections with varying degrees of mineral replacement (constant running water actually deposits minerals that eventually replace the paper fibers of the cell, literally petrifying them). Can anyone think of a use for these textures? Zhann

Almost looks like some sorta pseudo-Road Warrior scalemail. Hmmm.... with a decent transmap, that could be kinda cool!

Fallen leaves, with some tweaking in Photoshop.

Also the side wall of some strange building/structure, playing with specolarity and metallicity. Great find! S.

Yeah you can look up on roofs of houses that have evap coolers and see the stalagmites of calcium and lime growing out of the sides sometimes.

Catlin, this is a photo I took a couple of weeks ago on a job site I visited, I have others I plan on posting in the free downloads on my site under 'industrial', and in free stuff here, if you're interested... madmax br5, my thoughts exactly, might try it as a terrian or lattice... I'd be interested in seeing what you guys come up with...give me a couple days to upload these... Zhann
