Hi,

Anyone got any decent seamless floor tile graphics?

Cheers

These are a few that i use Minch, I usually get them from this site great for seamless textures [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
I can send them to you if you like.

Dave - how do you get this bump map though? most of the files I download are a JPEG or image only with no bump map? Do you just use the colour texture?

Jayne a bump can be a different image black and white!

Jayne, sketchup texture club provides a lot of the bump maps like the example that Joe showed.
If it doesn't i make mine through paint.net where I open the image and change it to black and white and then change the brightness and contrast to suit my map. I add the map in to edit materials and usually set the amplitude at around 0.02, I do this for timber floors as well.

Joe - yes i know you can you do that but then you dont have the contrasting grout, works well sometimes with Karndean tiles though when client doesnt want grout strips.

Dave - I can only find a few floors that include a bump map file on sketchuptexture but i'll take another look!

Maybe Articad's new tiler will fix that eh?

See how you get on Jane, if you need any maps just let me know.

Would you mind posting the links to the 3 examples you posted above from the sketchuptexture club? Maybe i'm looking in the wrong place..... these are really effective ones!

Jayne, if i want white grout lines then i find an image of the tile with or draw the grout lines in photoshop. Save then invert the image and save as the bump. This is how i do it with photoshop.

Thank you all. I'll take a look at these now.

Joe, what size and resolution do you have these set at?

Articad floor was set at 1600 x 1600 but i should have changed that to represent the actual tile size. 3 horz x 6 vert = size if that makes sense!

For example If the tile was 300mm x 150mm then my articad floor would be set at 900 x 900

Got it! Cheers bud. I really need to sort this sort of thing out while I've got some time away from the showroom.

ahhh nice one Joe, didnt think of this, thanks

Joe, just going back to something you mentioned earlier in the thread. Why do you invert for the bump?
