seriously you guys are awesome, i really didnt expect all this help!

what software are you using to color the model with? most great material renderings are done outside of SU!

you want your textures to tile, you just want the tiles to be seam-less and non-repeating (no obvious elements that make a distinct pattern), tileable textures are your friend, especially with stone, block, and wood textures.

How'd you do that? How did you stop it from going crazy? Did you see what I was doing wrong in my model?

That's a great idea. Thanks!

Perhaps it wasn't a typo.

I am interested in using that style. My email is kleenhaus@live.com Thxs in advance!

you could make them they are just photoreal images trimmed and placed at 90 degrees to each other with the trunk being the ceter of the two images.

Nice textures You are pretty good at making these Bruce.

Good work, thanks

i am a regular user of these texture program...

well... what's exactly the problem ? You need to log in first.. then the downloads should be available... 'cause I've gotta pass the coming examination there's not much going on right now.. I'll promise we'll push it in a few weeks time..

Great that you found the source, olishea... Thanks for sharing the link and thanks to Stu for making these...

Thanks Daniel! this stones will be very usefull. Thanks again!

You can always learn a lot from other models. It's really worth downloading and decomposing the ones posted in the Newbie or SketchUp Discussions as replies for others' questions.

Thanks Jim

How well you are !!!

@karamouza said: Wow, very nice concept! Now if someone could do this as a sketchup style... great! actually I used the moleskine as background in an animation for a documentary, as you see in the attached image. Thank you Dave for the kind offer to make a style with it Karamouza, if you want to make it by yourself the process is easy: just render the moleskine with plain pages (or ruled or whatelse you want) as jpg image, create a new style and use the saved jpg as watermark; then choose a sketchy edge you like and mix them. /matteo [image: 7cCR_moleskine-e-cartolina.jpg]

Casaba, your icon is freaking me out.
