That's the one, thanks a lot Robert!

Tom - I am getting excited! I see huge potential with this... as soon as the planting plan gets finished I am going to try a full landscape with you ground covers, shrubs, and trees... look for it in a week or so!

That's right, forgot completely about that since I typically provide the background in a render. Don't forget to select SU ground with no transparency. Sorry no foreground in the example.

Griffith,
I am currently working on a water treatment plant project, everything in it, pumps chemical storage feeders, controls, etc. I spent several days searching for the fittings and valves. I ended up buying a cad library from cadtoolsonline. It was about $200, worth every cent. You will need to model the bolts. I just made several different rings of bolts for different size fittings. You can download the demo and try it out. Demo has up to about 6", full version up to 48". I checked to make sure that they just weren't scaled up from one size to another, doesn't appear to be the case. I'll try to post some screen shots of the fittings and valves soon. PM me if you have questions.

My Hero ..this will save me a lot of time specially for the non scaled up pieces thanks for the link I will consult this with my wallet haha

Hey All,
A couple of people have asked so I'll clarify here: Bundle 3 contains half of the same trees included in each of Bundles 1 and 2. (If 3 is more popular than 1 & 2, I'll be switching to that format for all future offerings.)

Sorry for the confusion.
Best, Tom.

I was able to play around with some other textures. I came up with this. What say Ye?

Thanks for the help!

I used to have a little freeware ap that would put a watermark image on a batch of images all at once. I used it before SU6 to put a watermark on images export from a model. I wonder if I could find it again.

Thank you everyone.

That'll start me up having 2d collections. I almost lost hope on that.

I didn't know about that program, thank you for bringing it to our attention.

It seems that a Paint.net user has developed a "watercolor" filter that shows some promise:

Opps, I've just realised that I used the wrong style, I put the new one in the folder but forgot to flush the old one out of the model 😳

I'll have a go later with the new one.

This is a useful site http://www.defcon-x.de/c4d/textures but notice they're very heavy files so they have to be sampled down.

Luis - those images are beautiful. Can I use them in my next stair model?

Hi arail,

Of course you can ! These textures have been found on the web. 😄
