Presentation and help on texture and plant

[CC88]

Hi there.

First of all excuse me for my gramatical error and poor english.

I would like to introduce myself and ask for help about texture and plant in sketchup vray project.

Primarly I work as a system administrator. My primary hobby is nature photography. Always fascinated by 3D modeling and rendering about interior I'm using Sketchup and Vray Demo for about one month now (I now, it's a ridiculous time).

I would like to ask some thing about texture: I saw on http://www.sketchuptexture.com many texture about using it in wall etc. How do I use it? Do you know a good starting tutorial? Haven't found

And next: how do I use plant in my interior? I saw many plant in 3d warehouse but don't know how to render it well and realistic... Any help or again a good tutorial?

I hope not to be annoying and inconvenient.

Cheers,
Claudio.
