Tree bark materials 🔗

We released a set of bark materials. These should help you when creating trees!

There are some really nice and free tree generators for Blender like MTree or Sapling (directly in Blender).

But getting the right bark material might take time, especially when you go the procedural way. The materials provided by us are all PBR texture based, and should cover you as long as you create pines, oaks, and beeches, or some trees with similar barks. You can potentially blend between the materials, since a tree bark is always different on different stages of the trunk and branches.
