The wood shader in SI is not very good and has issues. Just put it on a cube and remove the distortion. Then you see what I mean. It look slike multiple added blocks. But you could still re-create such a shader. Actually imagine real wood. A cylinder gradient scalar, multiplied by 50 (years), modulus 0-1 (to get repeating 0-1 for every year) and piped into a color gradient mixer. Then some texture coordinate distortions on the whole thing. A bit global over all and some local dots.

But It's not looking so good. I'm just wondering if maybe the base wood texture is just too weird and not anywhere enough actually like real wood.

This Maya setup looks pretty good so I guess if I can follow the steps in that then maybe I could get something that looks half decent. I'll also have a look at the BA shaders again.

And what kind of shape? For a base texture, you could use this: http://www.binaryalchemy.de/develop/shd_vol/img/3d_library_overview.jpg The old shader should still work with the latest MRay version. (And I assume you had bought a license some years ago) The old textures are only available in low resolution. If you have a large planar area, you could see the tiles.. But if the surface is not planar, there are no visible tiles: http://www.binaryalchemy.de/develop/shd_vol/img_prod/nachkommen_baum.jpg Holger Schönberger technical director The day has 24 hours, if that does not suffice, I will take the night _____ From: softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com [mailto:softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com] On Behalf Of Chris Marshall Sent: Monday, October 21, 2013 1:29 PM To: softimage@listproc.autodesk.com Subject: Re: wood preset I'll buy you a beer On 21 October 2013 12:17, Chris Marshall <chrismarshal...@gmail.com> wrote: Hi All, Anyone managed to create a decent procedural wood material using the standard render tree nodes?
