Wood shaders with front-cut textures

Hello everybody.

Can someone indicate me if through the many wood shaders avalaible for Daz, is there some that features not only longitude-cut textures, but also front-cut textures?

I mean: if I want to texture a wooden artifact like a cylender, if the straight sides show the longitude design of the wood fiber, the round face would show the section face of the fibers. This way the render would be more realistic, than all the faces showing the longitude design.

Are there some shaders that offer this option?

Thank you for any suggestions!

    I'm not aware of any shaders that have both long and end grain. I don't know of many that have the end grain at all. At one point I started making my own for our packs. I went out and took a ton of high res pictures and started using them in our packs. You can find some on texture resource sites like Textures.com which I use pretty exclusively now with a LOT of editing done to them. Let me know if you find any good shaders cause the ones I've found over the years I was too keen on.

    If your wood texture is image based, then it's not that bad, you could probably find some end-cut images online.

    If it's procedurally generated then that's hard...

    I made some images for end cuts and plywood edges a while back... I'd post them, but I'm on a ferry crossing Long Island Sound at the moment and won't be home till much later today...

    If you are interested, I could give it look when I get home later... but they are images, so you'd have to do the rest of the shader set-up yourself.

    I'm not aware of any that show cross-grain textures, sadly.

    Thank you all for the answers!

    I asked because I was looking at this new product

    https://www.daz3d.com/wood-veneer--iray-shaders

    and I thought "Oh, I love these woods!". But then I considered what above, and remembering the ones I already own I couldn't recall if some of them have that feature. So I was triying to find out if there are any and if I possibly already own them. May this become a Product Suggestion?
