3D wood shader

[fused]

more wood. still the same shader.

Wow Fused! This oak looks pretty good!
What distracts my eyes now is the simetrical/straightness draw of the wood vains. Would it be possible to add some little knots on the wood? I may ask too much but i really don't know if there're any limits in isl . Here is the female joint showing a nice wood vain draw.
Thank you!

Very promising, fused!
Can you peek anything from the C4D-wood shader? Because it's quite nice...

@Fused:
Hey, that looks quite good!
Perhaps you can even adapt it straight from C4Ds Banzi-Shader for your Cindigo exporter. ;o)

@fenerolina:
At least the one of the effects (curled spot) that you emphasized in your image, you would get easily if you simply put the shader in a small angle "into" the object. You now what I mean?

But yeah, knotholes would be nice too.

Some low frequency and low density Billow noise into the vein noise should create those locks...

[galinette]

What is billow noise?

Of one single octave with randomized width, yes. Maya calls it billow at least

Ah, what is Billow noise, sry misread you.

Anders Egleus figured the math behind maya's 3D Texture called Volume Noise.
[...]
The math that Anders figured out is this

Code: Select all

origin = -1 * position * frequency / (scale * 16)

This billow noise is a variation. I don't know how relevant the formula is, and probably many other noise types can do the woodlocks job.
