Find or create southern yellow pine flooring

[thomhu]

Many of our remodels choose southern yellow pine for interior flooring. The pine in the core catalogues are ok, but don't really look like southern yellow. I can do an ai render with a prompt to get the southern yellow pine look, but I don't always need it to look photo realistic.   Is there a material for Chief that I can purchase or create that would look more like southern yellow pine flooring?

Can you use AI to generate a southern yellow pine flooring texture, and just create a new texture for your models?

Here's a selection from Duck Duck Go images...

There are  also many sites online where you can download textures.

 

And don't forget about 'Material Builder' in x17 (3D/Material Builder). Although Southern Yellow Pine is not one of the species listed, you can probably come close using the tools available.

Generating a custom texture using AI sounds like a great idea if you want more control over the final look. You can also try using the Material Builder in Chief X17 to come close to the Southern Yellow Pine look by using similar textures from the available species.
