This is one beautiful texture i see every day: it’s the floor planking in my flat’s living room. I needed it to make some sketches of a board i want to build, and it looks quite good:

One more Earth Wall

Because i like those earth walls so much, here is one more texture of the chapel of reconciliation in Berlin. This one is a bit more even but has the same warm, natural character.
Worn Wood
Once again a texture. This time it is a worn wooden wall i found somewhere on a hut on the countryside. One of the things i like about wood is it’s ability to gain character while aging. Allthough i think such things are beautiful it certainly is not the same kind of beauty as found in some of my other textures.

A wall made of rammed earth, found on the Chapel of Reconciliation in Berlin.
I hope my friends Magda and Verena like this one, their uncle built most of this great rammed earth building. He is an artist working a lot with loam, clay and earth, and he is a leading expert in building with loam. The link to his website is right at the bottom of this sketchbook entry.
Simple Plaster
Another extremely simple plaster texture. The material is exactly the same as the last plaster i posted. It differs in how its surface is being treated after the plaster has been applied to the wall. The texture allthough gets quite different, where the last one had something more like scratches this one has a lot of those tiny waves in it…
Tileable as the last one.
Warm Concrete
This week i post a surface a bit more interesting than the plaster one. I found this one at the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin. As far as i know it is concrete with some special surface treatment. I like the warm character that is achieved – it reminds a bit of the almost unaffordable clay walls.
When having such a warm texture, concrete looses a lot of its coolness – that a lot of people don’t like about it. I hope i can build such warmth into a real building sometime soon.
Texture is, as in previous weeks, tileable. That way you can use it for CG – if you use it i really would like to hear about that.
Simple textured Plaster
This time a simple one, but not so easy to find. Maybe it’s not enough of a challenge…
Seamlessly tileable.
I have some more pictures of different kinds of such simple plaster. These are going to be posted in the next few weeks step by step.
Gallery Bricks
The brick wall of a gallery in Berlin, buildt by Chipperfield Architects. The same gallery has that beautiful wooden front door i used for the last texture posted. The wall is made of used bricks, covered with very thin Layer of Plaster that lets the bricks shine through. The effect is amazingly beautiful.
This one should be tileable in all directions. Use it as you like.
Gallery Wood
Wooden Planks, used for the front door of a n art gallery in central Berlin. I found this one while walking through Berlin on a mid summer day, not even looking for architecture. And then i found a Gallery, done by David Chipperfield Architects.
Potsdam Bricks
Texture of a brick wall, located in the Dutch Quarter of Potsdam. Made during a nice trip in Summer.
Oh, and CG-Artists: This one is seamless, but there could be some trouble with repeating patterns ;)
