A Few Texturing Questions

[AtionSong]

Two questions:

1. Does anybody know a good procedural texture for wood?

2. I tried to incorporate some textures from this site into some models, but they all come out looking terrible - either the image is stretched over an object, or I try to tile and it still turns out ugly. Suggestions?

Firstly, those textures are extracted directly from the PRP Files that are copyrighted by Cyan. Those can't be used in any fan-Ages as they are are Cyan resources.

Secondly, you'll want to use UV Mapping for all of your texturing. There are plenty of good tutorials if you give it a google
