Wood

[glorybound]

Does anyone have any resources for wood boards with their corresponding ends?

I'd also be interested to see if anybody knows of any resources but I imagine it would be quite a task to prepare a texture like this (presumably to suit an unwrapped box as the edges should match) - so I don't think much exists.

I have played around with UV mapping in the past to try and fake the end grain - I've attached a quick example with a simple diffuse texture - unwrapping the box and then distorting the UV vertices on the 'end grain' and bringing the detached edges together to get continuity.
I know it doesn't look brilliant by any stretch of the imagination but it's at least something you can do using a more commonly available wood grain texture. It could possibly be improved by spending a bit more tome on manipulating the vertices but I guess there's a limit.

You can always try bercon maps:

I am trying Bercon maps, but it is painfully slow in 2015. This looks nice

Couldn't you get this to work with a similarly toned 'plank' map for the sides?

Theres a few on the first page you could use to make some ends: http://www.cgtextures.com/textures.php?t=browse&q=440
