Wood in its most attractive form.

Wood being a natural material is an intrinsic aspect of its appeal. In times of growing environmental awareness, its natural esthetic makes wood an increasingly popular material choice for interior design. Modern wood processing techniques now allow for the manufacture of new and innovative kinds of veneers that opened up entirely new design possibilities.

Where our existing collection of standard veneers covered 111 of the most common species of wood, this new collection goes beyond the plain veneer. With its focus on the unconventional, it embraces what would otherwise be considered flaws, such as cracks, saw-rough finishes or even discoloration caused by burrowing beetles. End grain veneers as well as veneers made from reclaimed wood are covered as well.

This collection contains textures for 36 different wood veneers of various species, styles and treatments with 112 variations in total.

Design Veneers

This collection contains 36 different veneers textures of various species, styles and treatments.

3D Scanned

Our tried and tested scanning process captures every aspect that gives wood its characteristic appearance. Accurate normal, bump & specular maps are essential to be able to achieve photo-real and authentic render results.

Color Variations

Every veneer comes with three or more color variations – 112 in total. These are not just simple color-shifted copies of the original diffuse map. To achieve authentic results, we instead employed various kinds of post-processing to match photographic reference as closely as possible.

Map Types

Beside several color variations, each texture consists of maps containing information to surface normals, surface height and reflectivity – all essential for realistic rendering results. In addition, some materials also include anisotropy or ambient occlusion maps.

Design|Craft #4, Area vs. Resolution

Large Area, High Resolution

Most textures come in two different size/resolution variants. One with a large surface area of 2.4m x 2.4m at 106 DPI, and one that provides a higher resolution of 212 DPI for a smaller area (2.4m x 0.6m / 1.2m x 1.2m). This allows for both, large-scale applications (e.g. on walls), as well as smaller-scale applications in close-up.

Ready-to-use Materials

We have included ready-to-use material setups for Corona Renderer™, as well as V-Ray™ (both for 3ds Max™ 2020+). There are four finishes for most textures; raw, oiled, semi-glossy varnish and glossy varnish.

How to use

Here some basic pointers on how to use this product effectively.

Texture file management

Best practice is to copy all texture files to a local hard drive to have them at the ready. Use an SSD for faster access speeds. Put map files into appropriate sub-folders, e.g. ‘maps\wood’.

Tell your rendering software where to look for texture maps. Most offer a configuration dialog where you can add new folders.

Normal maps vs. bump maps

The normal maps included in this product also encode anisotropic information to some extent, in addition to the actual surface normal. While this greatly enhances the look of the bare wood, it also means that these maps, in most cases, are unsuitable for the coating layer of a material setup.

This is where the also included bump map comes in handy, as it only contains the pure height information.

Custom color variations

We provide uncompressed versions of the diffuse maps in PNG format as an optional download. You may use these to create your own texture variations without having to worry about compression artifacts and the reduced color fidelity of JPEG files.

Correct gamma settings for maps

When adding texture maps to a material, the correct gamma setting for the map should be set. Please consult the documentation of your rendering software to learn how this is done.

Map typeGamma setting
Diffuse (_d), Specularity (_s),
Ambient Occlusion (_ao)
Gamma 2.2
(Default Gamma)
Normals (_n), Bump (_b) ,
Anisotropy Angle (_aa)
Gamma 1.0
(No Gamma)
