Hello! I am desperatly looking for are textures of coral/barnacle like "Mitch" uses in to cover the rocks with in this scene(link above). Does anyone know where I could find such textures, and general "coral/reef" textures.....free or comercial! Thanks!

Hi DeZ, Yeah. Mitch is goooood! As for the textures, sorry, I couldn't say where they came from, but I figure he probably made those with procedural materials in Vue. I could be wrong though. Try playing around with the functions for the color mixing once you've got a couple colors you like in the color map, and then add some procedural bump to it, is all I could suggest. I've seen alot of metal, wood, etc., textures out there, but I don't think I ever remember seeing a coral texture. Hmm...maybe on Mitch's website you might be able to find it? He's got alot of free stuff there.

Hi Mike, those textures are not available on his site. It would be great if he made a comercial underwater texture pack that was sold at the marketplace....I know I would be the first in line to buy it :) BTW, does anyone know of a CD-ROM from Corel called "Underwater Textures. Corel Photo CD" ....It does not seeme to be available on their site anymore....but if anyone knows what it is, could you describe it, becouse the thumbnails on the site are down!
