Adding new materials to materials folder

[Azum]

Hi All

Just to add a bit of realism to a lot of projects I do, Does anyone know of nay websites where I can download and install new materials such as concrete tarmac or even a grassy field to base my items on when I do a presentation

I dont really want the full blown photoworks but just the material spec in the part folder

Many thanks for all suggestions

Do you need the material properties (Elastic Module, Poissons, Density, etc) or just the textures/appearances for Real View?

Just the appearance for realview would be good

I do not do anything with the stuff just add it for the image rather than just havibg a grey block called concrete

Cheers

The appearances you mention are already in the Real View selection.

You may find others at

That is strange as I do not see them in mine. Which sub directory do you have concrtete and tarmac in. I am running 2008 Office pro

All best

Organic > Miscellaneous has Grass and others

Many thanks for the tip. Much appreaciated
