OPQ Bark and Endwood Textures

Tess Juel · Post by **Tess Juel** » Wed Apr 17, 2024 11:46 am

For your trees, logs, deadwood etc. Using different bark textures for the trees can be a very efficient way to add variety to a landscape. Just don't overdo it. Textures do add a bit of lag after all.

Many of the bark textures come with variants with the bottom part mossy and slightly cracked up. These are meant to be used along with the corresponding regular bark texture and the top aligns seamlessly with it. It's a trick I've been using for my more recent trees: the craked/mossy version for the bottom part of the trunk and the regular one tiled for the rest.

Call it lime tree or tilia or linden tree if you like - just different names for the same plant.

The stereotypical willow bark differ from the bark of most other trees in that it splits up in a "webbed" pattern of criss-crossing cracks. That's not nearly always the case though, many willows have a more regular bark pattern with vertical cracks just like other trees. Of the willows I've seen in my life, most young ones have vertical crakcs, most older ones webbed ones but I'm not sure if that's typical or just a coincidence.

Anyway, I'm always horribly bad at choosing so I made textures with both crack patterns. Rey's Willow Bark 01 has vertical cracks, Rey's Willow Bark 02 webbed ones. Each listing is split into two variants so you don't have to buy all 48 textures if you don't want to.

Some generic bark textures, not really of a specific species of tree.

Maybe I should have picked a different name for this set. This kind of bark texture is usually associated with oaks and the seed image was indeed of an oak but the textures are generic enough they also work great for many other hardwood species and even for some pines.

You think you can stick just any old texture to any end of a log or a treetrunk? Oh no, we do it properly here at OPQ with a good selection of endwood textures for all occasions. If it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing!
