Someone asked for a carpet.

In one of my previous posts someone had commented they wondered if this technique would work on a carpet so I gave it a shot.

Seems to work pretty good. One thing I did notice is because this scanning can pick up very small details you have to be really careful when scanning. It seems there was a small bump in the throw rug when I scanned it even though I couldn't see it. This caused a high spot in the normal map and that's whats causing the line down the middle of the texture that's really noticeable in the tilled images.

The line running though the image is caused from a slight bump in the carpet that showed up in the normal map.
