The partnership highlights Delta’s Accoya Shou Sugi Ban Gator in A Texas Getaway, a short CG animation created with visualization artist Jonathan Nicholson. The film features a Texas cabin clad in Gator alongside other wood textures from various Delta collections. Delta, which revived and modernized Shou Sugi Ban cladding over 15 years ago, continues to lead the industry in sustainable innovation and craft.
Poliigon, used by more than 1,000 architects and studios worldwide—including Zaha Hadid, Grimshaw, and OMA—approached Delta to fill a gap in its material offerings. The Delta team saw the opportunity to digitize their products as a way to unlock new creativity for designers. In March 2025, Poliigon visited the mill to scan several species and finishes, capturing the unique surface textures and color variations of Delta’s prefinished natural wood cladding. See how they captured the textures in this behind the scenes video.
A library of 46 textures—including Accoya, ThermoWood Spruce, Thermal Hemlock VG, and Thermal Radiata—is now available through Delta’s Design Tools webpage. Higher-resolution downloads can also be accessed directly at Poliigon.com.
“Poliigon worked closely with us to capture the species, finishes, and performance-driven beauty of our products,” said Delta Millworks CEO, Robbie Davis. “We’re thrilled to see designers experiment with our materials digitally, and ultimately, bring them into the built world.”
