Oriental carpet - same as the German response ... :-)

I just made this last week, it is very compact (actually it is a photo of a mouse-pad found in a backstreet shop in Barcelona). But it does convey the feeling of an oriental carpet, very similar to my grandmother's that was stolen from my flat a couple of years ago.

Good luck.

1 - Find a rug - here
2 - Insert a box in your design and give it the correct dimensions, e.g. 200x300x1 cms
3 - Import the image of the rug as a texture - Modify furniture -> Materials -> Modify -> Top -> Texture -> Import

That´s it.

Yes, lots of options. Good selection of nice designs. Beware of image (rug) file sizes, though. If your favourite design is a large file, that file could bloat the size of your model. In which case you can edit and downscale it with an image editor (and adjust the scaling).

ok

Re: carpets for "Sweet home 3D"
Yesterday I noticed that I can create a crude carpet or rug by just drawing a small "room" without walls and then allocating a colour.

Would this be a timebomb in my design, having one floor on top of another?

Re: carpets for "Sweet home 3D"
It's not a good solution, because the two floor layers may visually interact and cause a moire effect. However, the program won't crash.
Using a box as described above is better.

Re: carpets for "Sweet home 3D"
Hans, sorry to contradict you, but drawing rooms upon other rooms don't cause the moire effect you describe (otherwise it's a bug and that should be fixed)!
But, joannaslinky, note that you can use the tip you mention only for carpets with a plain color. If you set a texture on the room-carpet, there are a lot of chances that the border of the texture image won't match the border of the room.

Yes, plain colours seemed to work OK, but don't look very nice in someone's home. Fine for office blocks or hotels, though.

I'll use the 'box' method as described earlier, for my deep-pile Persian rugs smile
