I'm trying to figure out how to import and use photorealistic wood
textures into a CAD program.

The problem is described, along with a picture, on ABPW.

Hi Tom,

I attached a rendering from TurboCad Pro V9 to a message on ABPW ... though
I doubt it will remain long with all the .RAR files being dumped there. It's
a big one ... I figured you needed plenty of detail.

I used the stock "maple" texture on a 3D piece and modified things slightly
(played with color, scaling, trunk center ... all part of the edit
properties screen).

Hope this helps,


Rick
