    Hardie materials

    Does anyone have any good materials for the James Hardie products. Not having any luck searching the web. I can't believe that Hardie doesn't supply these. Kris

      Thanks for your reply. I did look in BIMobject but the stuff they have doesn't have any appearance assets which is what I'm really after (should have been more explicit). I'm using Enscape more and would like a better render appearance for the Hardie products.

          Thanks for the suggestions. I've looked at BIMobject before and have just looked at Accell. While they both have Hardie stuff, they don't have good textures for rendering which is what I am after (should have been more explicit). This seems to be a problem for all kinds of common materials. You can find great textures for all manner of exotic things but not so easy for commonplace items. Kris

            For materials like those i find their product images and make a seamless tile. But they should have the thought to supply images as well i agree.

              needs a sign in, but has an awesome array of free high quality materials and textures.
              You wont find hardy products but you'll find a texture you want, I personally use these textures for enscape and VR, they are very good.

                textures.com is a great place to look.

                A lot of the time I'll end up finding something that is good enough and tweaking it to get what I actually need. I use the attached image for wood siding. It is not great but for an overall image showing the whole building it works well enough. To get color I'll open it in Photoshop, add a layer for the color I need and set it to Multiply. Gets me close enough for horseshoes. :laugh: I honestly don't remember where I found it originally or I would credit the source :hide:

                  Textures.com has a LOT of stuff. I'm curious though why most of the textures are for old and dilapidated items. Certainly not many textures of everyday new construction materials. Cellophane, where I'm going now is as you have shown, making my own wood siding texture in a white shade and then applying a colour to it. Thanks to all for your suggestions.

                    There are also free programs out there that can make quite realistic seamless textures.
                    they are made by spiral graphics.
                    go to Spiral Graphics
                    I have used the wood workshop to great effect for decking boards
                    genetica viewer is free, but limited by resources

                    also there is a program called bricks'n'tiles from Creating seamless floor and wall textures | Bricks'n'Tiles

                    cheers
