Need some texture help!

[gurt]

Hey guys.

I am working on a project right now and I'm trying desperately to get a texture for my wooden hut, something that looks like the photo that I attached.



I have tried many textures that I found on the defno website but nothing comes even close to that.
I apologize if the photo is a bit dark, but please try and see what I mean and let me know if you can help me get or create a texture that looks like that.

Thanks in advance!

I assume you mean the wood? Your best bet is to use a photo, like this one, as a texture source.

Yes, sorry, I mean the wood :rolleyes:
Problem is, that I don't have a big enough photo to work with...
No other suggestion?

Thanks again!

just do a search on google's image search option. Lots of good texture sources out there.

Thanks Mike, I ran a search and found some interesting things, going to try them later on.
Do you think that the photo that I attached (a capture from the movie "Shrek") was built with photo textures?
O am just wondering whether it's possible to create effects like that with procedural textures..

Cheers!

I'm 99% sure that they used photos with some photoshop touchups.
