Hi,
if you are not fixed on the built in Shaders, you could take a look at
good old enhanceXSI.
Woods for example:
www.shaders.co.uk/enhance_xsi/gallery/slides/Woods_Vol_1.htm
Quite easy to use and normally you get what you want...

Well I'm just trying to create a fairly straight forward mahogany type
wood texture using the built in soft textures, which in theory should
be easy enough. But It's not looking so good. I'm just wondering if
maybe the base wood texture is just too weird and not anywhere enough
actually like real wood.

Yeah I'm not very close with this. This Maya setup looks
pretty good so I guess if I can follow the steps in that then
maybe I could get something that looks half decent.
I'll also have a look at the BA shaders again.
Cheers

How close are you?
And what kind of shape?
For a base texture, you could use this:

The old shader should still work with the latest MRay version.
(And I assume you had bought a license some years ago)
The old textures are only available in low resolution. If
you have a large planar area, you could see the tiles..
But if the surface is not planar, there are no visible tiles:

Hi All,
Anyone managed to create a decent procedural wood
material using the standard render tree nodes? I
need something that looks like antique furniture wood.
Thanks
Chris
