VISMAT PARQUET V-RAY FOR SKETCHUP #1

Do you remember that a couple of months ago we did a survey to have your opinion on the functioning of our blog?  (Meanwhile, I take this opportunity to thank you again for having responded and participated in so many)

Of course, your answers have made me very happy because over 80% of you said she was satisfied, ... but there was also a 20% who did different considerations
This prompted me to look for solutions  in order to improve the site navigation ....always taking into account of course that it is a Blog, with all the limitations that this entails.

In recent days, I proceeded to make many small changes  to lighten the pages in order to speed up the loading of the site. I have inserted a horizontal menu that will allow you to more easily find the topics and items of interest. Please let me know if you like ^-^

We are also looking forward to have some sponsors, because with the revenue from advertising, we can finally rent the web space needed to create a real online store organized as it should be, fast, reliable and secure.
A real international warehouse  for our textures  to download faster,  to load in high definition and do many other useful things to all of us.... Wooow  I'm dreaming  ^ - ^
Meanwhile, we must content ourselves with the reality that it is not so bad .... :D

So what do you think of this beautiful set of textures, wood flooring?
Two versions are available depending on which rendering engine used

1) at this link, you can download the seamless textures parquet , complete with Vismat,

2) at this link you can download only the seamless wood parquet texture

CARVED WOOD 3D PANELS COLLECTION

Really excellent this collection that includes 39 carved wooden panels modeled in sketchup 8 by architects Kha Anh Tú and  Pham Xuan Vien from Vietnam . A big thank to both of you for these beautiful panels

Personally I love the use of these wood partition panels that are a basic element of interior design in Vietnam,  because they are also perfect in a context ultra-modern. With these elements you can create a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Very beautiful even when they are used with a lacquered finish in white or ivory give a personal imprint both the living area the area that night  as I have often had the opportunity to appreciate seeing various interior design projects some of which have also been shared here as in this example

TEXTURES OF RENAISSANCE ARCHITECTURE

Having regard to the theme of the october 3D challenge "ITALIAN RENAISSANCE : PALLADIUM STYLE", here is an exceptional and unique textures collection of colors and finishing materials used in the architecture of the Renaissance,  that I developed for this purpose. All textures are tileable and have been added in section "CONCRETE TEXTURES"

I think these albums may be a useful support for those who are studying this period of history, but they can also be a cause for inspiration to create new environments in a context modern architectural
Stir ancient materials with modern materials can be a useful way to experiment with new interior design solutions to give a new style to your projects.

Albums contain mixed textures:
Lime plasters, slaked salt and pepper, marmorino, glimmerputz, encaustic, lime concrete, stucco sponged, spatula stucco, Roman travertine
