Wood textures

Photo of pine wood Make an object appear to look like wood

Without texture the 3D environment is nothing more than a series of flat surfaces, with maybe a single color on a given surface. To make an object appear to look like wood, the Artist needs to capture a wood texture and put it on the object. Photographs can be used as the basis of the composition. Occasionally, they may need to be modified to appear seamless by the artist. 3d artists know that the texture they use can make the difference between a good or a great final image. FeaturePics has a huge portfolio of "wood grain" photographs to choose from. These are some examples of patterns and colors you can use to create texture variations for complete texture sets.
