Texture request

Anonymous — Thu, 11 May 2023 10:56:17 GMT

I've been searching for a texture that would be good for representing a regular everyday concrete sidewalk but haven't found one that looks quite right to me.

Do any of you have one you like that you could send me?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Wrathchild
I would gladly send you one if I had it.
However this is a trick you want to get a handle on if you can.

Even if you have only a basic digital camera you could take a straight on photo of a local sidewalk around your area and take it into Photoshop, (if you have it of course) and do a "offset edges" to it.
Filters>Other>Offset edges
This will help make it look seamless when expanded.
If you don't have photoshop you could try:
a free photo editor, but don't know if it will do offsets or not.

Here's a site with a basic explanation.

ps
Your photo looks very similar to one of me in 72, only I had a funny pipe in mine:-))
Would it be the same vintage?

There is a huge 3-part Texture Library in the Object Depository.
You may find what you are looking for there:
