Bark Texture (Procedural)

So I’ve been playing around with some nodes to get a bark texture procedurally.

(Yea, I know the lighting of the background image don’t match the lighting on the bark of the tree but I liked the colours haha)…

Nice! Can you share the node setup?

Sure, it’s quite big so I’ll just upload the blend file.

I took these last time I was in the Sierra mountains, maybe they can help you refine your procedure. <3

Oh well thank you very much for uploading those. The first 3 images was the type of bark I was going for. The moss could do with some more displacement and the colour is rather different. I really should have followed references more.

Also the cracks in my bark. although arty and adds lovely detail, aren’t exactly accurate. Perhaps some more rounded displacement could happen in the large “strips” of bark.

Anyway, if I get time to do more, I’ll have a go at that.
