Woodgrain simulation help

Post by John Murphy »

Hi Guys.

I'm kind of in a bind here. I've been trying to catch up on my workload this weekend, and I've run behind on a quote.

A client is looking to have a sign made that looks like a sand blasted sign. I'm running out of time for the quote, and I was wondering if anyone had a suitable woodgrain file, or jpeg that I could use to create the fake sandblasting?

I usually try to talk people into the textured background, but in this case, they are trying to keep the signage similar to the existing signage in other stores.

Any help would be appreciated.

John

How about taking a high res picture of one of his existing signs?

Thanks for the reply Ron.

Unfortunately the signs are in another city, and I'm not sure if the client knows exactly how I what I would need for a photo.

I checked with the 3d sign forum, and I think Joe has something I can use.
