Bark New 02 Seamless PBR maps

PBR Material: "Bark New 02 Seamless"
Physically Based Rendering (PBR) shader setup guide for a seamless bark texture.

1. Overview

• Material Type : Seamless bark texture with PBR parameters.
• Texture Resolution : 1414x1414 pixels (tileable).
• Renderer Compatibility : Optimized for Cycles (with experimental features).

2. Core Parameters

A. Base Color Control

• Toggle "Custom Color" slot to override the default albedo.

B. Texture Mapping

• Map Scale : Adjusts texture tiling density.
• UV Requirements : Mesh must be UV-unwrapped.
  • Optional : Modify texture coordinates by editing the node group’s mapping node.

C. Roughness

• Default value: 1 (fully rough).
• Adjust to 0 for glossy surfaces.

3. Surface Detail Controls

A. Normal Map

• Strength : Adjusts surface detail intensity.
  • Note : Default values typically suffice; adjust sparingly.

B. Displacement

• Mid Level : Controls displacement midpoint (range: 0 to 1).
• Scale : Sets displacement intensity (higher = more pronounced).

4. Technical Notes

• Displacement Setup :
  1. Enable Experimental Features in Cycles.
  2. Use Adaptive Subdivision for optimal displacement results.
• Node Group Structure :
  • All material nodes are consolidated into a single group for simplicity.
  • Access the group to tweak advanced settings (e.g., texture coordinates).

5. Usage Tips

• For realistic results, match displacement scale to scene scale.
• Test variations by adjusting Mid Level and Scale interactively.
