Hi, wondering how to make the wooden material as in this image for the painting tray
Thanks.
I would look into the wave texture to create wood patterns.
Maybe look a bit into that and post where you’re at if you feel stuck !

Yes it’s a good start !
When doing that the problem is that the more you want to see the wood patterns , the more you loose the color, I’ll show you a quick setup to have more control !

Cool ! It’s getting better !
So you can do this, you use the coloramp to contrast the wood texture, and use that to mix between two colors.
What is black in the coloramp will be mapped to orange, and white to yellow.
It’s not the only way, you can for instance do the coloring in the Colorramp right away, and don’t use Mix node at all.
But I think by separating things that way it’s a bit easier to work with.
From there , you just need to spend some time to find the appropriate settings of each nodes.
Then if something is missing to look cool we can look into that !
Have fun !

Thanks, I adjusted factor to 0.125 and set mix as colour + screen. Got this
Will try the colourRamp method now. Appreciate the help

Cool yes ! it’s worth exploring the settings and testing things ! You can get very different results just with this simple setup !

Make the two colors in the mix node darker.
Did you try the search built into this site? Lots of posts about wood materials…

Yes as Matanaki said , darker colors, you can try to play with the roughness to see if that works better.
For that material I’d keep the roughness between 0.2 and 0.8 , try to avoid values too close to 0 or 1 as it will make the material looks either super reflective ( like water) or very rough like cardboard, brick…
And yes, maybe try to look for similar post, or maybe on youtube to pick a few tricks.
Even if it seems that you are quite close already !
Have fun !
