More rare hardwood appearances (e.g. Black Limba)

[matthewcbyington]

Hi team. I build things out of less common hardwoods, like Bubinga or Black Limba.

Browsing the appearance library (including checking "Show Download-able materials" I'm only able to find common hardwoods like Walnut Ash and Cherry.

Is there a more exotic hardwood library out there so that the appearance of my design more closely matches what I will build it out of?

Thanks!

Matt

@daxpatel45 the problem with that approach is that a photo needs to be "processed' in order to serve well as a real texture.

A good texture file contains more than one image. It contains a bump map and /or a normal map and also a specularity or roughness map.

My go-to for those things have been the textures from Arroway. These are high-resolution high-end textures for direct use. And with a little work, they also work well in Fusion 360. They are not free, but they are worth the money!

You might also get lucky on Texture Haven.

Hello,

What needs to be altered in the textures from Arroway? I am interested in getting textures for my Fusion renders but don't want to pay $20 unless they are relatively easy to work with. Thanks
