Logs in Wall specification dbx

**Wolfgang Richter** · 10-09-2006, 05:34 PM

Hello everyone,

I am looking for a way to show true logs for the outside walls for a log home. The logs in the material list to patch on a wall is not satisfactory. Has anyone a means to bring a true log wall in the wall specification dbx?

Thanks for your help.

There is a tutorial video that shows how to use logs instead of a log texture.

Here is a log house I did using a texture. It doesn't look too bad but it won't show the individual logs in the plan view. Look at the video and use the symbols as the video shows.

Hello Tommy,

I know about the video, it is very cumbersome to put the logs around a gable with several triangle or trapazoid windows. This is for hobbyists. I need to make $$$ in this business! Please tell me more about the textures you used. I think this is the way to go. I can then put them in my wall spec dbx and I am ready to go. Thanks for the picture, it looks terrific!

Any help will be highly appreciated.

I will find the texture and post it.

The zip file is too large to post here. Send me an email and I'll send it to you.
