Plywood Knots

[chstech]

I have a texture that I have created and like. Is there any way to create knots in plywood? I have been able change the grains, i don't see an option to add knots.

Thanks,

Drew

Drew,

You're going to need an image that contains both grain and knots. I've created several textures from digital photos I've taken, so it's not terribly difficult. (Follow the directions in the manual or do a search here on the tech board.)

Be sure to have the camera (back) parallel with the subject (in this case a sheet of plywood) and don't use the zoom lens at it's widest setting, more toward the "middle". *A wide-angle setting tends to accent parallax, the bending of straight lines.*

Good luck,

Thanks for the info

Plywood is NOT supposed to have knots , only Plugs ! However, plywood veneer has knots ... go for it ; )
