Free Wood Texture Program - Polyloop

Grendel · 17th February 2006, 09:33

I found a simple wood texturing program that's free and very easy to use here http://www.spiralgraphics.biz/ww_overview.htm. It'scalled "Wood Workshop" and makes creating tileable textures a snap for use in Carrara shaders. I know our native Lumber Yard can produce a good look but this seems to be much easier to use. Take a look.

Have had for a year or so. It is handy when you want a quick result.

I use their Genetica Pro 2.5 and it is quite good. In this version it generate the "effects maps" too. Take a look at: http://www.spiralgraphics.biz/gen2tour/tour1a.htm

Ya, the lumber yard is cool, but scaling procedural wood shaders natively in Carrara is hit or miss. With all of those settings in there it would be nice to have a quick global scale one. Apparently it's there, but I haven't had the best results using it. Granted I still suck at shading. ;)

Genetic appears to do nothing more than can now be done in Carrara5 with the addition of Inagoni's Veloute2! And the price of Veloute 2 makes Genetic look very costly. I think Veloute2 may do even more especially as it is integrated as part of Carrara.

Interesting, does Veloute2 do much for wood procedural shaders? May be high time I revisit mr. Inagonis website and look.

Download all the tute stuff and the free trial of Veloute 2. 2 is a big improvement on 1 and has also been updated a few times.
