Looking for simple clapboard siding.

Hello,

It's been a while since I've worked with Daz. But I'm getting back into it.  And I remember why I stopped...  My project requires building a building. I've managed to do that, but now I need to decorate it.

Long story short, I'm looking for a simple clapboard siding shader.  I've looked and cannot find one. (See attachment)

Any help would be appreciated. 

 

Thanks.

    You want a shader that can like make a flat surface look like that? Or you have clapboard made out of geometry and just need to shade it?

    Here are some... Google "3D siding textures" (or materials)...
    https://3dtextures.me/tag/siding/

    You will have to "build your own material". Just insert the images where they are designed to go...

    Normal goes into the normal section

    Bump goes into the bump section...

    Then you just adjust the settings to your own personal taste. However, it will not actually BE 3D, only look more 3D-like than a flat image. But it is still a flat image on a flat wall.

    I would suggest possibly learning how to use Sketch-up, or Hexagon, or Blender, if you want to make real 3D siding that looks like actual siding on a house. That is one of the easiest things to learn, for a beginner.

    If you get real desperate, you can use primitive cubes within Daz3D to make simple siding and layered shingles. Not that I would suggest doing that, but it's possible.

    Thank-you for the responses.

    I attached an image of different clapboard sidings, just to give examples. 

    I was hoping there was a shader I could purchase, and I wasn't finding it.

    Currently, I have nothing.  I would like to learn how to make something from scratch.. but right now, I have no knowledge.. I don't even know enough to know what to ask.

    I'll continue to research.

     To make something from scratch, read the post above yours by JD_Mortal

    Put the downloaded textures into a subfolder somewhere under [in your main content folder for D/S] Runtime > Textures > your subfolder ...

    Then open D/S, load your wall, apply the textures to the appropriate dials on the Surface Tab. When done, save a Material Preset.

    If you really want a Shader Preset so it can be applied to any other prop, then select ONE surface [if your prop has many surfaces] and save out a Shader Preset.
