Here’s a procedural wood material I made using Cycles material nodes. Feel free to use, share, disassemble, remix, season your turkey and generally play around with it however you like. Two preset scenes (images below) are included in the .blend file:
Thanks! For the link to work, you’ll need to change ; into : and , into .
I’ve updated the original post to clear that up a bit. Sorry about the hassle, but as a new user I can’t post URLs or attachements yet…
Thanks, this looks very good, especially the second one more subtle. The nodes look crazy though I’ll try to make the planks more elongated but I have no idea where to start in that macaroni stuff
I not going to use it ( i am not artist, only coder) but i must note it so real and lookng in every node group it very complex, inner Cycles render loop is simpler! In theory, it will render faster if rewrite all in plain C as special node to avoid some overhead, but it already render fast at least on my CPU. Many thanks for sharing this material !
very cool, very cool. Something about it does not look 100% real to me, but it’s 95% real and that’s a whole lot better than I could do procedurally. Thanks!
i managed to make the planks longer with the lenght: slider in the top of the macoroni,
i think its more like spaghetti to me, but i guess everybody has their own taste of pasta
hello wesvdes, i was wandering how you did it. how did you get these characterics sliders in the different wood groups nodes? it would be great if you could tell us how you did it.
I think blender nodes need a COMMENT node. This seems like a major oversight actually. In a lot of other modular ‘programming’ environments you can add comments. Any other type of coding… there are comments. This is a good example of when commenting is needed, so others can figure out how to use the node setup, or even yourself months later…
yes that would be a great idea because i cannot figure out how to make the same node setup that the author of this wood texture made. it would be great if he could show us some tips how to get this not setup, which buttons he pushed to get this.
