Im glad it's easy Rob because I want to know the answer to that also
Look forward to see how it's done.

Wow, thanks rob.

This is sooo good! I have PS, but am a real noob with it and this sort of tutorial which is exactly suited to my line of work is perfect.
I cannot wait until the next one arrives.
I shall print this and work through your methods today.

Thanks for putting in the time and effort.

Dylan

Thats looks fantastic rob, im really looking forward to learning your techniques.

Very nicely explained Bernard, that makes the process seem quite simple!

Dylan

Another great thread!

Really useful seeing the methods shown to complete this. There is alwayss loads to learn with this program

Thanks Tom, that is fantastic. I did not realize you could get something from that pic, I thought it would require a close up direct on pic.
Good work!

and one more close up

Hi all,

I am trying to locate a suitable material for a project I am working on and wondered if any one can help me.
I have checked out my usual materials sources for this but cannot locate anything similar.

I have uploaded a few jpegs showing the timber cladding I am trying to replicate.

Thanks

I am so glad you posted this Archi, thanks.

A quick question, does it accept millimetres as a measurement?
Is there an option to set the program up to recognise metric, or is it just a matter of entering the distance with the mm proceeding, i.e 6mm?

Dylan

Im looking for a seamless texture of some natural timber siding.
I do have one or two but none quite suitable.

Does anyone have anything, or a link to some?

Thanks

These look fantastic. Podium certainly is developing fast!

A good starting point is here:

Lots of links to various sites, many which will hopefully contain what you require.

You could try here. A resource for Andersens doors and windows.
