I not sure if anyone is interested in this set but looking at the quality and flexibility

http://www.3dtotal.com/textures_v1/

Not bad considering its 19 DVDs for 450 quid.

Textures come with bump,mask,specular,displacement,alpha,colour etc

For me Arroway is the top quality for architecture (specially wood floors)
3D Total is very nice also, but less realistic sometimes for modern arch

And 49 euros for 1 Arroway DVD its cheap vs quality ;)
Just buy what you need...

Or make them yourself.
Nothing like making unique textures than use the same stuff a million other people do.

There is nothing quite like reserving a day or 2 planing out location spot and go make some giant textures. good chance to leave the computer and do something else.

You can make your own textures in the size you need as well and not be strained to prefabricated material ;)

I have a canon 400d and some prime lenses you might be right.

I was thinking of taking X amount of photos and stitching them together. 10kx10k would do it nicey and really push octane to breaking point :0)

Just got to find a large enough amount of concrete... motorway concrete might do it.

Hi all.

Ummmm I'm new...
and I like octane very much...
Very...

I also need concrete, plaster, fabric textures etc, high resolution stuff. But I'm interested on creating my own textures.
I do have experience in photoshop.
So if any one could, kindly share with me STEP BY STEP their knowledge on creating textures would be greatly appretiated.

Just got my 6 core pc 2 days back, and I'm very exited on GPU rendering!

Specs: AMD phenom x6 ASUS GTX 470 4GIG RAM

Thanks
