Wooden Plank

When creating the map scene, I noticed that when the camera zoomed out, the map sat on nothing. In order to rectify this problem, I decided to create a wood like texture. To do this, I went into the material editor, selected and empty slot and then clicked on standard. From there I went down the list and selected wood. I then adjusted the settings, such as tiling and colour until I was happy it. I then applied it to a plane under the map and continued with the render.
