So I've started on the tudor rebuild process.  First order of business was to create a new process for making wood planks.  This is my first cut.  Left is a square from the existing tudor tiles.  Right is my first cut at a new wood style.

What do you all think?

Looks great! I love the major groves and knots, can the new squares have a combination of both? Major grooves and knots with the finer detail between the grooves found on v.1?

Visually I like the existing style. But I think, that print-wise, it will be easier with the new wood style for most people.

Nancy Hutchins

I also like the original style of wood.

Highly approve of the new style. I find that styles with "deeper grooves" and grain that is more pronounced stand-up better to printing and then painting afterwards.

I’m really into the new wood grain over the old. Though I’d love to see a test print side by side.

Fairlyn

I like the new one. seems easier to print and paint afterwards.

Evan Carothers

biggest advantage to new style, the grain shows through REALLY easily with a simple wash or just a light dry brush

Looks much better! It's also great to get an insight into the design process. I have started tinkering with Blender recently with the intent of making some tiles/walls, but it's a very steep learning curve.

I'm of two minds on this. My mind and that of my printers. I think think the new doesn't look as realistic as the old. Texture-wise, nobody I've seen does rough wood as well as you. But my printers HATED it. My printers think these look like the best thing since sliced bread!

i like the new approach a lot. I'm going to reprint the Tudor set eventually.
