Wood Textures In CAD Program.
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. Thomas J. Watson - WoodDorker tjwatson1ATcomcastDOTnet (real email) http://home.comcast.net/~tjwatson1 (webpage) |

Looked at your web page. Read your poetry.
You are obviously a darn good woodworker. :-) Tom Watson wrote: I'm trying to figure out how to import and use photorealistic wood textures into a CAD program.

Tom,
I am a newbie to CAD so I cannot help you there but just wanted to let you know that your projects on your website are quite impressive.

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 |

Thanks for the tips.
It looks like my basic problem was that I took the 96 x 96 pixel tile size to be gospel, rather than a suggestion. Having grabbed a couple of finished wood photos and tweaked them in Photoshop to be about the size of the pieces that I wanted to apply texture to, I'm heading in the right direction. Now I need to scan in some samples that I make myself, using the real wood with a real finish on it, and I should be able to tweak those enough to work. I've put another image of the same drawing on ABPW, using the wood images I saved using the above technique. Not there yet but getting there mo bettah. Thanks again. Thomas J.
