Re: Realistic hardwood floors?????????????
I do apologize for my abrasiveness toward Hans. I was frustrated that I was repeatedly asked if I had read stuff and googled stuff and tried stuff. All the while I never saw a decent picture of hardwood floors from him. I felt as though Hans was accusing me of being lazy AND stupid. I was trying to explain what I was wanting by using dramatic differences, sometimes words can't explain everything. In the first picture I was trying to show how the textures I have tried look like a cheap tiled floor and how in the second picture one can cleary see that it is a hardwood floor, not tile, carpet, or linoleum.

I can't remember who asked me about the size of the image (it's not visible as I reply)but that remark is what led to my discovery, so thank you.

but on the bright side I did solve my issue to anyone interested. I used a texture I was having trouble with and went to modify. (Before starting this post I had also done this). The default size (width and height) on the texture was like 8. I increased it in small increments (went up to like 40 or so) got frustrated and decided that wasn't the issue. But after reading replies to my post I went back and made drastic changes to the size (The magic number for me was like 155) anyway, the hardwoods look great now and I'm really in love with this program.
