wood

Go to: Related nodes. Attributes.

The Wood texture simulates wood by projecting a two-dimensional pattern. This pattern consists of layers of concentric rings defined by veins and filler. When you map the Wood texture to a surface, the surface will appear to be carved out of wood. If you map the same Wood texture to several surfaces, they will appear to be carved from a single block of wood.

Aside from the attributes listed here, Wood inherits many attributes from Texture3d.

In the table below, important attributes have their names shown in bold in the Description column.

Long name (short name)	Type	Default	Flags
xPixelAngle (xpa)	float	0.002053
The pixel angle
normalCamera (n)	float3	0.0, 0.0, 1.0
The input normal
normalCameraX (nx) float 0.0 The X component of the input normal
normalCameraY (ny) float 0.0 The Y component of the input normal
normalCameraZ (nz) float 0.0 The Z component of the input normal
refPointObj (rpo)	float3	0.0, 0.0, 0.0
The current reference sample point that has to be shaded
refPointObjX (rox) float 0.0 The x component of the current reference sample position
refPointObjY (roy) float 0.0 The y component of the current reference sample position
refPointObjZ (roz) float 0.0 The z component of the current reference sample position
refPointCamera (rpc)	float3	0.0, 0.0, 0.0
The current reference sample point that has to be shaded
refPointCameraX (rcx) float 0.0 The x component of the current sample position
refPointCameraY (rcy) float 0.0 The y component of the current sample position
refPointCameraZ (rcz) float 0.0 The z component of the current sample position
fillerColor (fc)	float3	0.824, 0.627, 0.471
Filler Color controls the color of the space between the veins. The vein color diffuses into the filler color.
fillerColorR (fcr) float 0.0 Filler Color red value
fillerColorG (fcg) float 0.0 Filler Color green value
fillerColorB (fcb) float 0.0 Filler Color blue value
veinColor (vc)	float3	0.157, 0.078, 0.039
Vein Color controls the color of the veins (rings) in the wood. The vein color diffuses into the filler color.
veinColorR (vcr) float 0.0 Vein Color red value
veinColorG (vcg) float 0.0 Vein Color green value
veinColorB (vcb) float 0.0 Vein Color blue value
veinSpread (v)	float	0.25
Vein Spread controls the amount that the vein color diffuses into the Filler Color. Increase this to make the vein color diffuse more into the filler.
layerSize (ls)	float	0.05
Layer Size controls the average thickness of each layer or ring. (The thickness of individual layers or rings is also infludenced by the Randomness and Age attributes.)
randomness (rd)	float	0.5
Randomness randomizes the thickness of individual layers or rings. Increase Randomness to make a greater variety of sizes. Decrease Randomness to make all the rings exactly the same width.
age (a)	float	20.0
Age controls the age (in years, or number of rings) of the tree from which the wood came. The Age value determines the total number of layers or rings in the texture, and influences the relative thickness of the central and outer layers. The central rings of wood are thinner than the outer rings because a tree's growth is slower when it is young.
grainColor (gc)	float3	0.118, 0.039, 0.0
Grain Color controls the color of the random grain in the wood. (This shows up as spots in the texture's cross-section.)
grainColorR (gcr) float 0.0 Grain Color red value
grainColorG (gcg) float 0.0 Grain Color green value
grainColorB (gcb) float 0.0 Grain Color blue value
grainContrast (gx)	float	0.5
Grain Contrast controls the amount that the Grain Color diffuses into the surrounding wood color. Increase Grain Contrast to make the grain stand out more.
grainSpacing (gs)	float	0.01
Grain Spacing controls the average distance between spots. Increase this to push the spots farther apart.
center (c)	float2	0.5, -0.5
Center controls the location of the center of the concentric rings of texture in U and V space.
centerU (cu) float 0.0 The U coordinate of the ring center
centerV (cv) float 0.0 The V coordinate of the ring center
amplitudeX (ax)	float	0.0
The X amplitude for 3D noise
amplitudeY (ay)	float	0.0
The Y amplitude for 3D noise
ratio (ra)	float	0.35
The ratio control for the fractal noise
ripples (r)	float3	1.0, 1.0, 1.0
The noise frequencies (ripples)
ripplesX (rx) float 0.0 The noise along X
ripplesY (ry) float 0.0 The noise along Y
ripplesZ (rz) float 0.0 The noise along Z
depth (d)	float2	0.0, 8.0
The range for the iteration of the algorithm.
depthMin (dmn) float 0.0 The minimum value for recursion depth
depthMax (dmx) float 0.0 The maximum value for recursion depth
