I`ve found plenty on youtube. Where did you looked out?

Re: Wood Grain
I can't look at videos, are there any online printed tutorials for making wood grain effects?
Re: Wood Grain
Xav just recently posted a tutorial on the turbulence filter primitive. It's not that far away.
Like add two flood filter primitives with the grain's lightest and darkest colours, use turbulence to generate the grain pattern,
use compositing three times, and voila, there is a basic grain pattern.
Need something more complex? Add another turbulence and use it for displacement.
Need to alter the shades to add tiny details? Add more turbulence and compositing after you altered the shade by colormatrix or component transfer.
Possibilities are alot.
