I'm photographing food I want to make png's of for 3d texture maps.
the blue screen like they used in Lord of the Rings looks like it would be handy in a kitchen table size.
Thanks.

Attached is a link to a Blue Screen or Chroma Key Screen. Don't think this will help you photograph food textures though as these screens are mainly used to overlay/mix video and graphics -en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chroma_key
What you do need is good lighting and possibly a macro lens to capture details in the food to use as 3d textures - Here is a link with tips on food photography - www.professionalphotography101.com/photography/HowtoPhotographFood.html
Hope this helps!
