textureswood

Textureswood is a term used in digital design and manufacturing to describe a collection or category of wood surface textures. It encompasses both photographic textures—high-resolution images of real wood surfaces—and procedurally generated patterns that reproduce wood grain, color variation, and finishes. In digital graphics, textureswood assets are applied to 3D models to create realistic or stylized wooden surfaces. They are typically supplied as texture maps, such as diffuse or albedo, normal or height, roughness or metalness, and occasionally displacement maps to convey grain depth.

Frequently, textureswood libraries organize textures by grain pattern (straight, spiral, wavy, curly), species (oak, maple, walnut, cherry), color treatment (natural, stained, bleached), and finish (matte, satin, gloss). They may also include tiling-friendly, seamless textures for large surfaces and swatch cards for color matching. In physical production, a related concept describes standardized surface finishes that imitate wood grain on laminates or veneers; finish specifications may cover gloss level, grit, and tactile roughness.

Quality and licensing vary: professional libraries offer photoreal, high-resolution textures and explicit licensing terms, while free assets may have restrictions. When selecting textureswood assets, practitioners consider resolution, color accuracy, tiling behavior, and compatibility with rendering engines.
