Wood textures - make an object appear to look like wood
Without texture the 3D environment is nothing more than a series of flat surfaces, with maybe a single color on a given surface.
To make an object appear to look like wood, the Artist needs to capture a wood texture and put it on the object.
Photographs can be used as the basis of the composition. Occasionally, they may need to be modified to appear seamless by the artist.
3d artists know that the texture they use can make the difference between a good or a great final image.
FeaturePics has a huge portfolio of "wood grain" photographs to choose from. These are some examples of patterns and colors you can use to create texture variations for complete texture sets.

Seven Wonders of the World: Ancient and New
Since the ancient Greeks named the Seven Wonders of World more than 2 millennia ago, with the exception of the Pyramids, they are all gone. People across the globe have enjoyed debating which are currently the most remarkable of Earth's many spectacular sites.
Bernard Weber set out to name the "New 7 Wonders of the World" in 1999. Almost 200 sites around the world were selected, and the list was then narrowed to 21. One of these, the Great Pyramids of Giza in Egypt, the sole original Wonder of the Ancient World to survive, was named an honorary wonder.
Seven more of the remaining 20 were chosen by worldwide vote, via internet and phone polling, and announced on July 7, 2007
These images, presented in high resolution, represent those choices and some additional views of other spectacular sites.
