How I make realistic plank floors in Blender.

There’s a problem with procedural textures: They’re never quite realistic.
There’s a problem with image textures: They’re not flexible.
There’s a technique that combines the two and gets the best of both worlds. This workflow uses that. It takes high-quality images of plank textures and maps them procedurally in a plank pattern. You get to design the floor yourself while maintaining the realism of photos.

▶️ KEY TAKEAWAYS ◀️

🔹 Mixing procedural techniques with scans is a powerful way to make convincing yet flexible textures.
🔹 Avoid completely hard lines. They look too digital.
🔹 Use clearcoat to add a shiny wax layer.
🔹 Clearcoat should be exempt from high-frequency bump.
