I have found a source for JPEG's of photos of veneer logs for sale. I hope they don't mind the extra traffic at their site. It is http://www.veneernet.com They are fairly high resolution. One must crop and often book match the images, and any other editing, in Graphic Converter or Photoshop. (I sometimes also use VW to mirror the image for a book match because of the precision and familiarity with VW. [it would be nice in the future for NNA to give us the capability to export as an image without the white border, then we would not have to leave VW]) One then still has some work to do with sizing and such to turn it into a texture. Like most rendering issues, it's mostly a matter of how much time it's worth committing. I chose to do it only occasionally.
