When I add materials to SketchUp, I draw faces sized to the known dimension(s) of the material and apply the new images to those faces. No need to edit the the material after import.
That's a good strategy I also use.
And nice woods, thanks Dave!
-
Thanks, Csaba.
I have more that I need to prep. I might share some of them as well.
-
Good wood materials are always welcome!
-
Thanks Dave, I can definitely use this. Nice figure.
-
Dale, you're the first person ever to tell me I have a nice figure.
-
Someone must, because mine has sure deteriorated
-
Are you doing these yourself Dave? (no more figure comments ..Honest)
-
Dale, they're from images I've collected. They are raw wood and might stand a little more fine tuning

Hell, I'll just run them through my thickness sander
-
That'll do it. I guarantee they are free of nails so you could even plane them and not worry about knicking your knives.
-
Nice textures Dave !
Thanks for sharing -
Thank You Dave, I haven't been on for awhile. I'm designing a router table in SU now. I haven't used materials before but will experiment and see what I can do. Jerry
-
Jean-Franco and Jerry, you're welcome.
Jerry, good to see you're around. I'll be interested to see your router table.

http://www.warmoth.com/Guitar/Bodies/Options/LPCarvedChambered.aspx[url][/url]I had a look. Nice guitars. Are there any reasonably sized material images? I could only find little tiny images that would tile badly if used in SketchUp.
-
if you scroll down to the laminate top you have a choice of different wood species and by clicking on the guitar body shape it opens a new window ( around 600*875 / jpeg...pretty decent for most renders...
about the tiling... it's usually a bookmatched top so it's not made for tileable wood patterns but rather for fine cabinetry or stuff like that...
-
Thanks for that. Those images are too short for the work I do but maybe someone would like them. Good link.

Here are three long Zebrawood (Zebrano or Microberlinia) textures. The first is 9' 6" long. the other two are 8' long. Enjoy.
