Are you trying to get your wood materials looking great in your favorite 3D app? Sometimes you may not like the way your render looks based on a few different factors. It could be that you are using a low-quality texture or material, but odds are it really comes down to lighting and the randomness of how wood looks in the real world.
In this tutorial Chad Ashley shows you how he uses Redshift in Cinema 4D to add random variations to textures with the Jitter node and how to use multiple materials to create realistic looking plywood.
