Looking for the best textures

[IceAged]

I'm looking for some decent wooden floorboard textures to use in my interior scenes. It's important that they tile perfectly without any seams, interlock together like real floorboards, and resemble specific wood types as closely as possible.

So for example if the client wants oak, the texture needs to be oak. If they want pine, they must see pine in the rendering - very important.

A lot of the textures out there are clearly manufactured or 30 modified versions of the same material. I'm looking for a small collection of the real thing, rather than a series of endless unusable textures.

Can anyone offer me any recommendations? My searches have all been in vain so far...

You can't beat Arroway wood floor textures. http://www.arroway.de/textures/04/en/index.html

other option would be to make them yourself.... easiest way to know it'll be done right.

 

I've been using this site as a starter for some of my latest floors.. (uber high-res)

Absolutely great Aaron, so good i've just placed an order!

Of course i would rather use my own, but to do what these guys have done would take a considerable amount of time... I think there is always a case for making your own materials, more so for the unique models that require one-off textures, (eg tiles, fabrics, books, etc).

Thanks all
