Looking for Ideas

[Dave R]

I would like to create some materials that look similar to the wood grain textures applied to the box in the attached image. Does anyone have any thoughts about how to do that?

I dont think theres much stopping you from just taking a picture of some wood with an attractive grain and just applying that. I suppose the only problem might be if you need to cover a large agrea with the texture, as it would look very artificial because it would repeat so often.

You could always edit the textures you produce to get something almost exactly like that in the pic you posted...just turn the contrast up and the saturation down in an Image Editor.

...Enough one texture...
let's apply more resolutely and more variously standart "projection"!!!
