I am currently working on a project that requires Zolatone for a wall finish and I can get the color off of the manufacturers website.  Is there a way to take the color I have saved as an image and make it a wall finish?  I could probably try it as a decal but I think it would get streched to much and end up looking bad.

I don't think so. Zolatone is the manufacturer, its a multi-color paint that spray applied and I can't find a multi-color option on that site.

Is it a specific color or multicolored can you attach the image you have?

If it is a just an image go to photoshop record its RGB and then make a new material and enter in that RGB in the material.  If it needs to look a certain way in a render then make a new material in the render there is an option to attach an image.  Use that to go find your image and load it.  Now you can either attach the material to an element or paint it on a wall instead.

Just go to their site and copy the desired image/collor.

You can aply this image to a material.

You can also make a black and white image of it and aply this as a bump to make the surface of the material look more realistic.

(WWhub, great site by the way)

Creating a material has been discussed in many posts.  This is a good one to start with: http://www.revitcity.com/forums.php?action=viewthread&thread_id=16048  And as gebber says, if you need a texture, you can create a bump file.

 

Gebber - yes, that site has some really nice tools.
