if you haven't already... look through your Carrara content CD... there are several photo textures of wood flooring and tiles that might help you out... @ Julien... I was at your site yesterday looking at the plug-ins (and wishing I had some money to spend), and noticed your shaders for download... but the only ones I could download were the wood flooring (very nice, and I'll put them to good use, Merci Beaucoup)... but I was interested in some of the others. All of the others kept giving me 'file not found' errors. Tried with IE and Netscape...
