exploRUG : Photographing carpet to create a custom texture

exploRUG allows you to visualize your designs in your own custom texture. To do so, you need to provide us a good resolution photograph of your textured image with proper lighting.

The specifications for the textured image are as follows:

1. Photo of the texture should be upright and the texture should be mid-tone and solid-colored, preferably solid gray

Left (correct): Carpet woven using solid gray material
Right (incorrect): Multi-colored carpet

2. Texture should be evenly lit without distinct shadows

Left (correct): Evenly lit carpet
Right (incorrect): Carpet has a distinct shadow

3. Recommended carpet area visible in photograph: 2ft x 2ft

Left (correct): Photo covers 2 sq. ft. area of the real carpet
Right (incorrect): Smaller carpet sample, which will result in visible repeats

It is suggested that you put a measuring scale near the carpet in the photo so that we can see what the real scale of the shown sample is.

4. Recommended image size: 3600 px x 3600 px

Left (correct): Larger image size
Right (incorrect): Smaller image size
