Does anyone have a tex for the screwthread of a bolt please.

I have a very large boiler. Centrally, aside from the pressure plate, there is a very large bolt end with a massive nut screwed down onto it. The thread of this bolt is important because its a loud element of the machine it belongs to?

Anyone got a thread tex please?
I need it to wrap round a piece of standard sealed tube architecture in iclone.

A few can be found via a search.  Best to probably upsample it to a higher res...

Thanks very much. With a little editing and tiling................
I thought there might have been a straight forward stock image for diagonal screw-threads but I havent really found one yet and the ones I have people make the error of adding shine and shadow depths so mapped onto the object its all wonky in relation to its own lighting.

But I think I win!!! it gives the impression anyway, which is all I'm after and on one close up "her" face is reflected in the copper plating/casing and so the bolts are prominently in view. I wanted the contrast of shiny smooth copper hues and dulled grey detailed elements.

Armstrong, those are some good-looking nuts and bolts!

Well, s'the first time I've had a guy compliment my Nuts.

Actually, with the textures supplied in iClone and the basic architecture/blank objects apart from branches you can make about anything and the end result is impressive.
I think the steam trains I saw on sale by BB??? were impressive. It would be even more impressive to know they're made with standard iClone parts.
