Where do I find the black and white checkerboard floor scene/material. After watching Mike's videos I want to try some material creation for myself. Thanks!

I just use a texture like this (in the Reflectance 0° map):



Sometimes I might lighten it up to dark gray; sometimes I use it in a simple lambertian material; sometimes it gets an extra gloss layer.

Thanks JD- In Mike's videos he pulls it out of the floor somehow . I am determined to figure this friggin program out !! Thanks for the texture map I will add that to my floor.
