Procedural Wood Texture

[JQL]

I think there are hand held scanners that could do the job. I don't know if they're limited to standard paper sizes.

[Dave R]

Yes. I was thinking about those handheld scanners. I was also thinking this would be another way I could justify a 48 x 96" CNC machine. Replace the router with a scanner head. You could scan up to a full sheet or plywood.

It wouldn't be limited to wood, either.

Three little problems. I'm not sure if normal scanner software would handle that much image area, not enough space in my shop for a machine that big (especially since I also want to build another boat in it) and there's the problem of not enough shekels in my pocket.

Kickstarter campaign maybe?

We are planning on getting a new plotter/scanner for large prints at work and it will scan in color. Do you think I will get fired if I try scanning sheets of veneer?

You might be able to get away with it once.

Maybe that would fly.

I made this texture plugin for Thea render some time ago.

It is a three dimensional procedural wood texture so it won't require UV mapping.
Sadly procedural textures are not supported by Presto (yet).

That is very interesting Pixero! No need for UV map too?

Would it be able to be pushed so it would loose a bit the CG look it has?

Bump. To remind dave:)
