Wood Species for Sketchup - A Lot of Pics

[Ed Sallee]

I spent a couple of hours the other night taking pics of some wood that I have in the shop and then photo shopping, cutting & trimming.... etc... so I can have a file to add in to my sketchup materials. Just right click and save down to your directories - if you so desire.

Most of the wood is still in a rough cut - unplaned state - but I tried to get good representation of the grain & coloring. Works well inside of sketchup....

All of my file extensions in the free version of are SKM. Is there a way to download these photos to include them in my materials list & save them in the skm. format of Sketchup? If I have overlooked something sorry.

Save the files as jpg, and when you create a new material, Menu: Window/Material/Create Material, use the jpg as the "Texture Image".

Thanks! Now if I could only afford to buy wood that looked this good....

Thanks for the post!
