This collection of contemporary wood grain textures for 3ds Max provides six distinct finishes featuring natural, refined patterns. This library includes six high-resolution wood grain textures, ranging from light bleached oak tones to deep charcoal-stained timber. Each sample exhibits a consistent vertical grain structure, suitable for high-end cabinetry, wall panelling, or bespoke furniture design. The variations cover a spectrum of neutral palettes, including warm honey-browns, muted sage-greys, and pale sand hues. These materials are designed to replicate the subtle tactile variations of real wood veneers, offering a clean, realistic aesthetic that avoids the repetition often found in lower-quality assets. Each texture is balanced to ensure seamless application across large surface areas.
The download is a 338 MB compressed archive with the textures and a ready-made 3ds Max (.max) material library, so the maps arrive already assigned to materials you can drag onto your own geometry.
Designed for 3ds Max workflows, these material definitions can be loaded directly into the material editor for immediate application to geometry. Users should map these textures using standard UVW mapping coordinates, scaling appropriately to match the project's real-world dimensions. Because these are provided as coherent material sets, they are ready for rendering engines, allowing professionals to adjust reflection, glossiness, and bump parameters to achieve specific finishes, from matte oils to high-sheen lacquers, within their existing scene lighting setups.
