Texturing entire door or table

Hi everyone,

Been playing with realistic wood materials, always based off an image.
But usually the images are too small dimensionally.
Meaning the area the image actually cover is only about 1 foot x 1 foot. Maybe 2’ x 2’.
Either have to stretch them way too much to cover the door, or they repeat.
Neither one looks good.

Does anyone know a nice method?

Thank you

Really I think what it needs is a wood texture image that’s as large as a table.
Any ideas where we could find one like that? I’ve searched some common texture sites.
Textures.com, Poliigon, Dosch, Plaintextures.com and Maxwell’s site with no luck so far.

I’ve used my own photos before, but the lighting is always off - there’s always a gradient of light, which I don’t know how to even out. I think good texture image needs even lighting.

Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi

Not sure I understood You right…But here is some image both very small…Door is 225x225 Pixel…It do not fill the full size.

As FZ…Say’s…One size fit all…:slight_smile:

Other is 275 x 187 Pixel…Both unwrapped on different size plane.


They fit different size plane…?

You size them in UV/image Editor…?

Thanks Tai. Sorry, I didn’t explain very well.
This picture shows it a little better


You could have 2 tiled images, each differed in size, the use a factor pattern to blend them in. Also check these http://www.textures.com/download/plywoodnew0016/4712?q=pine

I have ran into this issue too in the past. Finding textures of large pieces of wood is not easy. I have had good results with searching images of table tops instead.

Or try Google

If you’re using textures that doesn’t imply strong directionalness (?), you can use the same input texture gone through different scale and rotation (mapping) nodes, and blend between them using slices of noise. Examples:
How it would normally look during regular texture repeat:



How it looks from same perspective using the trick I mentioned:

Maybe this texture can work for you
