I'd say you could get this easily with darktree or the likes. From what's mentioned here it's actually a load of nested procedurals with an interface but not one procedural map as such?

How about try to Substance material ?

Thanks, I do have a look to darktree website but there nothing really impressive regarding procedural wood and the last plug to max is 2009. As per Substance material, there is nothing convincing on the market place. If commercial product can't achieve nice result then the chance to have a better result by myself is narrowed.
Thanks anyway, I even was not aware of such "substance material".

Well, the modo post you linked to was just a normal artist spending a lot of time using the standard procedurals built in to modo. You could probably achieve the exact same thing using the same approach but is it worth the effort with so many high quality wood textures on the market? Or have you got lots of situations where you need grain running into cross sections?

BerconMaps should do the trick, for the map at least:

After long hours on "substance" I gave up. Either the modo artist are a genius or the Modo system is better or I'm simply not good enough!
