Textures to simulate living room walls etc ?

in The Commons
Hi,
I was looking for textures of living room walls to slap on planes forming a room. And couldn't find any...
This is for quick visualizations of an environment for a scene, not a final render.
Anyone know where to find flat textures of room walls, or office walls and such?
For my crude test image, I rendered an apartment in DS just to get a shot of the walls, but this is much
too time consuming.
Thanks!

Mec4D's PBS shaders vol 2 has quite a few plaster and paint wall shaders https://www.daz3d.com/mec4d-pbs-shaders-vol-2-for-iray
Thanks, but I'm not really looking for shaders, but fully dressed walls with cabinets, TV's and such.
Below is a sample of the kind of texture I am looking for.
Oh, so yo are looking for an image of a room instead of shaders or textures FOR an actual room. try an HDRI of a room interior. Lots of free ones here https://hdrihaven.com/index.php
Actually images of walls, in a house or an office.
The reason being that these environments render super quick and are good enough for a draft image.
HDRI's are spherical in nature and I need flat photos without perspective distortion.
Well I know of no product that has just images of walls. You could try getting one off the internet and pasting onto a plane in the scene.
As for the sperical shape of an HDRI if you go into the render settings, environment - dome mode and change it to finite box, it gives you a flatter view.
Yeah, I was pretty surprised that there doesn't seem to be a product like this out there.
Maybe I found a niche here! :)
Hmm, these interior HDR's don't seem to have much distortion.

I would use the rubber DAZ Uber material presets that come free with DAZ Studio and change the base color to what you want. There are Rubber - Matte, Rubber - Shiny, Plastic - Smooth, Plastic - Shiny. Rubber is probably more like a painted dryall wall. You could also try the Leather preset but remove the images in the Surfaces that actually include color and replace with the desired color of the wall by choosing a base color. Also Aluminum - Brushed or Aluminum - Satin (you'd need to adjust either to be less reflective & glossy).
Well I gave you an earlier answer referencing shaders but if you want actual 3D scenes look at Collective3D's Vignettes and other products in the DAZ 3D Store.

Yeah, that looks pretty good.
I still prefer to have images of interior walls slapped onto planes, rather than rendering domes.
