Tropical Bark

I'm still playing with various ways of generating textures. Realistically I'm trying to find a speedy approach that delivers a good result. After all you can spend countless hours tweaking textures, for very little improvement considering the time spent.

Update: Today we have rough timber planks. I had to paint out the shadows and overpaint the diffuse to add more colour. The normal was also comped together from various passes to get the final effect. It actually feels quite rough, with some nice sharp cracks in the wood. So I'm quite pleased with the final result.
