Procedural wood progress

Posted by Marius Oberholster on Tuesday, April 21, 2015, In : Tips 
Hey all!

This has been a challenge for quite a few years now - creating good looking wood with procedural textures. Only these last two months have I really been given the results I wanted. Below are a few exampls on how this has progressed:







While the above ones are not horrible, they still don't quite get the look I really want. No, that is below:

Wood with procedural textures!

Posted by Marius Oberholster on Thursday, May 31, 2012, In : wip 
Wood is one of the most difficult textures I've had to try and make with only procedural textures, but I'm glad to announce there's a way to add knots to wood with grain distortion.
