Device CPU (You could use GPU but for me Blender crashes when I try that). This can be lower if you are ok with lower quality. Select New and adjust Width and Height to be 8192 px. Next I add an Image Texture node but don't connect it.At first I have a plane with 5x Subdivision Surface Modifier and a Displacement Map image connected to the Material Output Through a Viewer.You could try to start from step 6 If you have a good displacement map but for some reason it didn't work for me. This works for procedural textures and for ones made with a displacement map. You may want to reduce the amount of displacement and tinker with it until you're satisfied.I edit this answer to be better than previous and to actually work for 3D-printing. Under the 'influence' tab, check the 'normal' and 'displace' buttons and un-check the 'color' button (unless the texture defines the color as well). Change the texture source to 'Image or Movie' and load the image you want to act as a displacement map (for these kinds of maps, the value channel is used to determine amount of displacement and so black pixels have no effect, white pixels have full effect, and everything between is interpolated). If the object has no textures, make a new one. With your mesh selected, locate the object texture (go to the properties tab on the right and click the texture icon). Load the image of your choice to act as a wood texture and you may begin using the brush to sculpt the mesh (if it has enough vertices).Ģ) Alternatively, you could use a displacement map to simulate some wood effects.

Change the texture source from 'Clouds' to 'Image or Movie'. Under the texture tab, click the material icon. In the properties tab on the right, click the texture icon to get to the texture tab.

The texture will appear as a type of noise. In sculpt mode, expand the 'Texture' tab on the left pane by clicking it and click the 'New' button.

Assuming default settings for version 2.7, go to the bottom panel that says 'object mode' and click 'sculpt mode'.

There are a few ways that this can be done.ġ) You could use sculpt mode to define the texture for a sculpting brush that resembles the wood patterns that you want.
