Yep I just tried and in came in as grey texture. To get it to come in something like the proper colour texture I had to adjust the properties on the import page to Diffuse 1, Bump. -0.1, Reflect .15
Size I set at 1m and 0 for max texture sampling.
Some further experiments required
Thanks for the suggestions, I must be not clicking something, when I import thru the Texture Set dialogue and then paint on to the "furniture" in SU, the colour is all grey instead of the dark timber colour.
Hi Barry
Did what Al suggested work?
I just tried simple import as texture of download of original dark Zebrano from Arroway textures website-no bump of reflective, into sketchup model, changed it size in there a few times but cannot replicate the bitmap style texture your getting. What does it look like in sketchup?
If you want to use Arroway textures with IRender nXt, and you are using textures you purchased from Arroway, you should use the Texture Set importer to import the textures into SketchUp and IRender nXt.
Each Arroway texture comes with 3 or 4 separate images (image maps) to define and render the textures.
While I have been SUing for years, importing textures is a little new to me. I imported the texture from the DVD and just plonked it straight on to the furniture :)
Then I tried the Wenge (Wood-077_Wenge-3_d) and things got worse as per the attached. Are theyre settings that I should be using for these textures or is it because their resolution is too high...?

Here is their Zebrano Image. (From the Arroway web site)
Did you you our "free" (low resolution) textures, or did you get the texture directly from Arroway?
Can you explain what problems you see in the IRender nXt rendering

Which Arroway texture is this?
(Note: If you use the image icon, rather than the attachment button to attach an image, then the image wil appear directly in your post, and users will not have to click on it to see it)
The Arroway web site will show you what the highest quality textures are supposed to look like. If you give me the name of the texture, I can see what result we should expect.

Was this a SketchUp texture, or a wood material in the AccuRender nXt library
