Anyone know where to get high quality seamless wood textures for vue. I have seen the ones at Cornucopia but am looking for others. Also, is there a tutorial somewhere on how to make these?

You could try www.doschdesign.com and get some of theirs. There's also http://www.3dtotal.com/textures/ As far as making them yourself, grab a digital camera on a cloudy day - I'm gonna give you an example for a tree - although I have a feeling you're talking about maybe something like wood floors? Set up a tripod, and just circle the tree, photographing the entire circumference - or as much of it as you feel needed. In PS, stitch them together into one image. Once that it stitched, go to Filter>Other>Offset. Choose some fairly significant pixels both vertical AND horizontal - maybe put the edges in the middle? Now, with whatever tools you want - usually the Clone (rubber stamp) tool or the Healing Brush (the band-aid looking tool) you can sample other areas to get rid of the hard lines - NOW it is tileable without edges! Once you have the photographs of whatever it is (wood, metal, rocks - whatever) you want to make a texture, THIS is how you make it tileable. Good luck and have fun- -Lew ;-)

For the lemog French site, click the button 'rechercher' or choose your language and click 'search' then type 'bois' it gave me 100 wood textures... I don't know if they all tile seamlessly but it looks like many of them do.
