Variations with wood textures

[ReMake]

Dedicated to @Woodsy

 

I didn't set out to create textures of any specific trees. All variants were created after reading various tutorials*.

 

Required Plugins:

PointWarp by @toe_head2001
SinWaves by @MadJik
TGAngle by @Red ochre

 

Note: Read first How to install Plugins.

Thank you @ReMake!  Nice variants of the wood texture.  I, also, have to say 'Bravo'.

 

We need to revisit the idea you had to create a subforum for all textures, etc...  I can't find the original post where I attached a pic..  🤗

Man, this make me miss Welshblue as he was one of the masters when it comes to wood texture. Woodsy was awesome in his old west motif as evident by his awesome gallery.

 

Also, this awesome nugget in variant 6, "...and we will get a texture with an imitation of a bitch."

 

🤣

Translation difficulties and probably wordplay.

Fixed it as best I could.

No worries, man. I figured you meant "birch" but it just made me laugh out loud.
