I did the vertigo tut tonight went to texture my bridge and only 1? I did alter it to fit the image kind of. But I was wondering if I missed them or didnt look in the right place or something. If I did, are there any free around. I checked free stuff and didnt see any there either. I think the material editor is user friendly enough I could whip some of my own up but thought Id ask first and see if anyone had any available.

Hi Tammy, I always use image maps for wood, as I find them far more realistic. Infact if I can texture anything with photographic textures I usually will. Here are some of the places I find make good textures available: http://www.the3dstudio.com/ http://textures.forrest.cz/ Your very own camera and scanner ;) The 3D Cafe has some good textures, but I usually find that they are too compressed to be of much use. Cheers

Her ya go Tammy. This site is awesome for textures of ALL kinds--all free. There are hundreds of megabytes of photo textures here. I mean, if it exists, it's here. :) (Lotsa wood too) :)

I have some jpg 'panels' of mahogany and of gray weathered wood which I scanned directly off the planks and which you may have if you cant find what you need elsewhere. What is the best way to send these if you are interested?

I have a couple of procedural woods on my website, but I have to agree with everyone else that jpeg materials look the best :). It's what I usually use unless I'm in a hurry or the object is far away. Laurie

Tammy, if you open the material editor, and on the Color tab, mark "Mapped colors", you'll get a button for navigating to an image. Go to the VueBitmaps folder and you'll find 4 or 5 wood images to start with. :)

heyas; take a look in some of the outside objects vue has. load some of the fencing and the barrow cart thing and all, and swipe the wood materials those things have ;) but vue definitely needs more nice wood materials.

Thank you bloodsong never thought about that, Ill try that. I tried some jpgs today and had a heck of time getting them to look decent, I need more practice with the way Vue maps things and such.

Tammy, if Vue gives you a bunch of trouble saying it can't find the textures, they're on the "Extras" CD under one of the "Scenes" folders. or maybe that's the Application CD-- can't remember right now but they're on one of the two.
