3D Textured Backgrounds

joeskandal · Apr 2, 2011

Hi folks,
just wondering if anyone in the UK can put me in touch with a good supplier of those 3D textured backgrounds.
Also, if anyone has these, are they any good?
I have seen them before, and wondered what they were made out of, and if they are a good idea.
Thoughts please.
Thanks.
Joe

or, if anyone has made one themselves, what material did you use etc...

yes.. its same as normal 3d for fish tanks.

stick it with lots of silicon. let it dry for good 2 days.

I use this in mine; http

It's made of some kind of expanded resin and was really easy to cut; does need siliconing in, but I used only a bean sized amount on each corner and it hasn't budged. I'm really, really happy with it; it's well worth doing if you can empty the tank.
