Making awesome aged wood

[pitibonom]

Hi guyz

I’m working with some aged wood ( in gimp ) and i was wondering wether someone did aged wood that looks like wood, in the procedural way.
What i dream of ? is something like this:

Cracks, bumps, lychens, nodes, dirt, etc…

EDIT: this one ( small ) texture comes from… err… texture.com i guess and i worked it a bit for enhancing cracks and adding lychens in gimp…

Why the procedural way as there a legions of aged wood textures on the web ?

Because most of them are too small or shitty or expensive or not CCx or not my own work
I often dreamt making procedural things in blender and my 2 strongest needs go for aged bricks and aged wood.

So the 1st step:
did anyone make some procedural aged wood ?

2nd step:
Are there some nodes tuts that must be watched at for this kind of topic ?

Thanks in advance for all you help and happy blending !

There are some realistic wood tutorials on Youtube. You may need to change something to fit your need though.

So, i guess you can do it, here is an entirely noise based wood material that i made, its not perfect but its a start.

The Vector math, Mix RGB, and Color ramp nodes are your friends. And you need to spend some time tweaking the values.

Have fun.
