Wood
Wood simulates the features common to sawn lumber, including grain, knots and rings. You can control the thickness and waviness of growth rings, the angle at which the wood is cut and more. Create planked or solid and tileable wood textures.
Control Descriptions
Basic Tab
Ring Thickness
Acts as a zoom lens. Low values elevate the view, creating thinner, densely packed rings. High values yield a close view, with thicker, widely spaced rings.
Cut Offset
Controls the angle at which the wood is sawn. At 0, the board is cut along the length of the tree, like a 2x4. At 100, the wood is cut into logs, almost like firewood
Left to right: Increasing Cut Offset.
Pulp Color
Selects the color of the space between growth rings. You can select a color using the eye dropper or choose the foreground or background color. You can also select one of the six most recently used colors.
Bark Color
Selects the color of the growth rings.
Variation Amount
Controls the amount of waviness along growth rings. Higher values result in increasingly curly rings.
Left to right: Increasing Variation Amount.
Variation Roughness
Controls the jaggedness of waves in growth rings. Higher values yield increasingly jagged growth rings.
Left to right: Increasing Variation Roughness. Rings still flow in the same direction; variation makes them more wavy.
Contrast
Controls the brightness of the pulp rings. Higher values create brighter highlights and the appearance of raised growth rings.
Left to right: Increasing Contrast.
Wood Orientation
Rotates the texture. Use the circular slider or enter a value between 0 and 360 degrees.
Seamless Tile
Check this box to create a repeatable pattern with no seams.
Random Seed
Controls the random elements of this filter. Click it until you get a result you like.
Knots Tab
Number of Knots
Controls the number of knots randomly placed in the wood texture. Choose one to ten knots.
Knot Size
Controls the width of the dark knots. Higher values yield larger knots.
Above: Knotted wood.
Grain Tab
Grain Size
Controls the size of the lines that simulate grain in the wood pulp. Higher values create larger grain.
Left to right: Increasing Grain Size.
Grain Aspect Ratio
Controls the length to width ratio of the grain. Higher values yield a longer grain, without affecting its thickness.
Grain Density
Controls how closely packed the grain appears. Higher values yield more streaks, increasing the grain density.
Grain Opacity
Controls the contrast of grain streaks against the rest of the wood; higher values yield opaque streak and strengthen the illusion of depth in the wood texture.
Panels Tab
Divide Into Panels
Selecting this option divides the wood texture into boards.
Divide into Panels: Before and after.
Board Length
Higher values yield longer planks.
Board Width
Higher values yield wider planks.
Darken Seams
Darkens the lines dividing planks. Increasing the value yields noticeable gaps.
Board Color Variation
Randomly contrasts the color of planks. Higher values strengthen the effect.
