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

Hii,

If you need More Wooden texture, You will download it as an image file at a high DPI rate and use it to make new wood material in the fusion360 material library. You Just download the wooden texture image file from the below link. {it's free.}

Also, check the below Screencast For how to use the Image file in the material.

@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.

@matthewcbyington Also, some free texture and material files available Like you just copy-paste from Keyshot Resources.{please use that resource for personal use only.}

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
