+Now that you have PBR at your fingertips: these are some helpful tips for rendering beautiful organic looking barks for your trees.

+====== Artistic Direction ======
+----
+This section is highly subjective to the artist. Our new SpeedTree 8 library includes many different options and multiple maps to choose front. Here are some basic set ups that will help with quick tweaking: \\ \\
+**
+Flaky Bark**
+  * use a [[fin_generator|fin generator]]
+  * using a tilted height map with displacement
+**
+Rough Bark**
+  * Boost the Normal's contrast
+  * set your gloss levels lower (but keep in mind that gloss also helps show depth).
+  * add displacement
+  * optional: use [[displacement_assets|displacement]] from a height map \\
+**
+Smooth Bark**
+  * decrease the Normal's contrast
+  * increase the gloss value \\ {{ :lemonbark.jpg?nolink |}}
+**Ridged Bark**
+  * using [[displacement_assets|displacement]], push the U scale up high with the V scale moderately low
+  * use [[displacement_assets|flares]]
+  * increase contrast of the normal
+{{ :ridged.jpg?nolink |}}
+**Wet Bark**
+  * Contrasted normal
+  * boost saturation
+  * increase gloss \\
+{{ :pinebarkwe.jpg?nolink |}}
+**Changing Bark**
+  * use a shell or multiple shell for transitions
+  * use different materials per generator and use the branch blending options \\

+\\
+**
+Burnt Bark**
+  * remove saturation in the color map
+  * increase the contrast in the gloss for dull and shiny bits to stand out
+  * change the specular to a dark shade
+  * add small amount of metallic value
