Thanks, that seems to work although it doesn't seem to be the way they intend it to. Now I feel oddly inclined to mow the lawn, but alas it's covered in snow.
Fund a website with some great textures to use in sketchup.
This link takes you to the grass section but there are loads of other categories (click on the links to the right hand side of the page) and follow the instructions to download hi-res images,
I do recall coming across this site before. I must be missing something in regard to downloading the textures. I can't seem to find my way the the image with the "Options" button. (Thus I blew off before). You guys figure this out? If so, let me know how. I must be thick or something.
On another topic.........found a plug-in called Art-mine that takes you out to a web site where you can search through their real artworks and insert them into SketchUp...here's the plug-in file. It's free...they're trying to sell the actual art through this plug-in! Pass it on. Works very well.
I tried enlarging one of Mike`s samples with a random seed in Genetica - but there is only so much that can be achieved with a small sample without a repeat pattern occurring (see attached)
The textures are wonderful, I am however hoping for something less "striped". If you have something like that I'd appreciate your contribution. Finding a quality grass texture seems next to impossible, at least for me!

Hi Chris
If you follow my link it takes you to the preview page.
Click on the download link above the section of images you are interested in. This takes you to a facebook page of images.
left Click on the actual texture you want and you get a hi-res version on screen.
I right click on this and choose 'save image as' and save it to my textures folder on my local drive
Good luck.
Mike

They all seem to be seamless.
