Hey all.
I am trying to build the interior view of a barn or shed.
I have pretty much all the wall with door and window openings and hay piles and scatters piles of straws and sand and other debris. All I need is damaged wood window and door frame and jambs.
I have tried creating it with P4 primitives and other primitives I have found but just not looking right. They come out looking too smooth and crisp and new. What I need are several broken, deteriorated, dented, splintered and cracked planks and boards I can stretch and resize without too much stretching of the texture so I can use them to construct the elements I need for the view.

If I knew how to model I would do it myself but I don't soooo......!?  :)

I would recommend doing such fine details as this with bum por displacement mapping, rather than trying to actually model it.

Hi!

Dont know if theres free ones around but in the marketplace Ratracer have broken planks in his set "Decay corridor" and perhaps in his "Decaying Alley".

Have you tried primitives with a wooden texture and and then playing with transparecy maps?
Shouldnt be to hard to create them in photoshop or other equal application.

Shante...   here you go - four planks - the ones in the zip file are untextured - but you can easily find free plank textures. If you mix and match the maps and scatter these about it should work.

If you need a larger bunch with rubble theres some in one of Helgards larger military sets (commerical product).

Pinky - you left the lens cap of your mind on again.

Ohhhhhh.....Mr. Spark!!!!

thanks you sooooo veryyyy much.
Really...thanks just what i needed.
Thanks.  :)

Just got them and unzipped them and looked at them and wondered. The blue and black .bmp files are transmaps with them right?
Am I also to assume there are three axis to these so I can adjust the thickness as wellas width and height to lets say a window sill proportion or door jamb or support panels for a plank door?

*thanks you sooooo veryyyy much. *No probs :)* * *The blue and black .bmp files are transmaps with them right? *Nope. These are texture templates.

Don't worry though - really easy to use, just add your own wood texture into the coloured areas.
Save and apply  the texture to the planks, you'll probably need to adjust the material colours and the highlight.  

Sorry I couldn't include the textures in the picture because the licence says no-redistrubition even though they are freely avaliable to all from the link above.  *

*Am I also to assume there are three axis to these so I can adjust the thickness as wellas width and height to lets say a window sill proportion or door jamb or support panels for a plank door?
*Yep. Just import them, add your maps and adjust the width using the parameter dials as shown in the picture above - this is Pro Pack but the basic principle applies in all versions of poser.  

You'll note thats the same plank [01] used 3 times there.  

*If you get seriously stuck - shout and I'll turn these into poser props for you tommorow night - 1.49am and the cat's are giving me that go to bed look :)

Got it thanks!

Hey MrSparky. been trying to work with these planks and been looking ok. But, at the cost of seeming greedy is there any way you can make some alterations to them?
I need another plank with one end a bit flatter (though not razor edge flat just with fewer big deep and thst looks like it may have been worm eaten or hit with a stick on the end) with the other side with more smaller shallower splinters to make the damage look a bit more subtle.

I wish I knew how to do this myself!  :(

You can get a great free modeling and animation program at www.anim8or.com.  The people in the forum there are very helpful and you'll be able to make anything you want.

Sweet!
The only problem and this might be so very insignificant as to render itself silly to mention but the app you mentioned is, alas, only for windows. I am on a Mac!
I know...I know...MY BAD!
But, beside begging, what can I do!?
