Help! Materials For Rendering

[Al_Zyma]

Hi, just registered on here.

I work for a residential developer, I'm self taught and been using ADT3.3 (soon to be upgraded to ADT2005) to create visuals for the last few months. Not doing to badly but finding difficulty getting quality materials to use in rendering. I've contacted manufacturers & had panel shots sent, the bricks i got arent to bad but the roof tiles need lots of editting. Is there anywhere i can buy or download quality images of building materials?? i.e. roof tiles, brick, stone, lead flashing etc.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Regards.

Al.
