How to Use Your Wood Grain Generator Texture
CSS Background
Set as a repeating CSS background with background-size tuned to match real-world plank proportions. Use image-rendering: auto for smooth grain rendering across retina and standard displays.
background: url('texturize_wood.png') repeat;
background-size: 256px 256px;Blender
Map with UV projection along the Y-axis to align grain direction with geometry. Add a Bump node connected to the texture at 0.02-0.05 strength for subtle surface grain relief.
Unity & Unreal Engine
In Unity, use a Detail Albedo map at 4x tiling for close-up grain detail on furniture models. In Unreal, feed the texture into a World Aligned Texture node for seamless coverage on irregularly shaped meshes.
Photoshop & Figma
Apply as a background layer in Photoshop with Soft Light blending for a warm wooden overlay effect. In Figma, use the texture as an image fill on rounded rectangles for realistic UI card components.
Game Development
Use for cabin interiors, medieval furniture, ship decks, and fence assets in open-world and survival games. Rotate UV mapping 90 degrees for cross-grain details on end-cut surfaces.
Architectural Visualization
Perfect for hardwood flooring, cabinetry, and ceiling beams in residential interior renders. Vary hue and brightness across planks to avoid repetitive tiling artifacts.
Print & Packaging
Adds an organic, craft-inspired aesthetic to food packaging, artisanal product labels, and eco-friendly brand collateral. Works well as a background for brown kraft paper designs.
Social Media & Video
Use as a warm, natural backdrop for food photography, handmade product showcases, and rustic-themed social media posts. The grain texture adds tactile warmth to flat digital layouts.

How the wood generator works
The algorithm
The wood generator combines radially stretched Perlin noise with a ring function to produce grain. The Perlin noise is evaluated on coordinates where the x-axis has been multiplied by a large factor — that stretching is what turns round noise clumps into elongated streaks parallel to the grain direction. A separate concentric ring pattern, generated by taking the sine of a distance-based function, overlays the annual growth rings. The two signals are combined with a configurable ratio so you can blend fine grain into heavy ring detail or emphasise one over the other.
What the parameters do
grainFrequency controls how tightly packed the streaks are — high values give you dense hardwood, low values give you broad pine-like grain. ringFrequency sets the annual ring density independently. grainContrast darkens the grain lines; ringContrast does the same for rings. The colour sliders let you mix warm oak tones, pale birch, or dark walnut.
What it's good for
Flooring and panelling in architectural renders, furniture texturing in product visualisation, game-engine ground planes for cabins and boardwalks, web backgrounds for hospitality sites, and illustration of wooden crates, barrels, and planks in stylised art. Pair with the normal-map tool to give the grain real surface depth.
Practical tips
For end-grain effects, swap the x and y stretching axes — the current generator is set up for side-grain. For knots and burls, add a second FBM pass with very low frequency and high contrast, then blend it on top; the preset gallery includes a burl variant that shows the technique. Walnut and cherry both benefit from saturation boosts on the darker channel.
