TRUE WOOD | Real Wood Creation System
TRUE WOOD is a procedural wood material system for Unreal Engine 5 that simulates real wood anatomy from the inside out. Trunk structure, growth rings, cell pores, rays, heartwood, and knots... All driven by parameters, not textures. Unlike texture packs or randomized noise-based approaches, every detail is mathematically grounded in how wood actually grows. The result is highly realistic and deeply controllable, giving users precise control over the final wood appearance.
Key Features
35+ wood species and sub-species inspired presets
Fully parametric: Unlimited variation from a single Material Instance
Bake-ready workflow: Export high-resolution Albedo, Specular, and Roughness maps through the included bake pipeline
Dual workflow: Use procedurally in real-time, or bake to textures for any pipeline
Full Lumen and Path Tracer support
World, Local, and Tangent coordinate space modes
Master Material + Material Instance hierarchy - clean, organized, production-ready
How It Works
Choose a preset or Create your own: Start from any of the 35+ species Material Instances, or build from the Master Material
Adjust parameters: Dial in trunk diameter, grain direction, ring density, heartwood ratio, knot placement, surface finish, and more
Apply or Bake: Apply directly to your mesh for real-time procedural use, or open the included bake level and export 8K textures instantly
Included Species Presets
Alder (European), Alder (Red), Ash (Black), Ash (European), Ash (White), Bamboo, Beech (American), Beech (European), Birch (Sweet), Birch (Yellow), Cherry (Black), Cherry (Sweet), Hickory (Mockernut), Hickory (Pignut), Hickory (Shagbark), Lyptus, Mahogany (African), Mahogany (Honduran), Mahogany (Philippine), Maple (Black), Maple (Hard), Maple (Red), Maple (Soft), Oak (English), Oak (Red), Oak (Sessile), Oak (White), Pecan, Pine (Eastern White), Pine (Ponderosa), Pine (Radiata), Pine (Sugar), Poplar (Yellow), Walnut (Black), Walnut (English).
All presets are fully customizable - results are unlimited.
Best For / Use Cases
TRUE WOOD is especially suited for cabinet doors, furniture parts, wood panels, tabletops, shelving, trim, flooring-style surfaces, product visualization, interior visualization, and close-up material work.
It is ideal for users who want to create custom wood variations inside Unreal Engine 5, instead of relying only on fixed wood texture sets.
Important Before Purchase
TRUE WOOD is a procedural authoring system, not a one-click drag-and-drop texture pack.
Because it is based on structure-driven procedural logic, final results can depend on mesh orientation, object scale, and the coordinate mode used. For many production workflows, the recommended approach is to design the wood procedurally, then bake the final result into textures.
Users looking for the simplest possible static wood material may prefer a traditional texture-based workflow. Users looking for deeper control, variation, and a bake-ready wood creation system will get the most value from TRUE WOOD.
Included in the Package
Master Material
35+ species and sub-species Material Instance presets
Bake pipeline level
Bake-ready workflow for texture export
Example level
Recommended Workflow
Start from a preset or create a new Material Instance from the Master Material.
Adjust the parameters until the wood matches your target look.
Preview and refine the result directly in Unreal Engine 5.
Apply the material procedurally in real time, or use the included bake pipeline to export production-ready textures.
Notes
TRUE WOOD is primarily a World Position based system, with World, Local, and Tangent options included for different workflows.
Because the material simulates fine internal structure, some extreme parameter combinations may produce minor artifacts depending on scale, viewing distance, or how aggressively the material is pushed.
For users who want a more fixed, lightweight, and pipeline-friendly result, the included bake workflow is the recommended final step.
