Veneer Texture like the Wood texture simulates the look of wood rings and grain in the relief. The veneer produces a series of slices through the wood and tiles them next to each other.

Parameters :

Position : Position of the texture.

Scale : The texture is scaled by this value.  Use these parameters to scale or stretch the texture in one or more directions.

Sheet Size : This defines the dimensions of the veneer sheets.  The sheets are successively "cut" through the log like pages in a book.

Twist : This is an adjustment to the noise applied to the rings.  The higher the value here the more tightly "wound" the noise becomes.

Continuity : Higher value here makes the rings more continuous.  Lower values will make the rings more and more fragmented.

Granularity : This parameter controls how "gritty" the rings are.

Ring Spacing : The rings that appear in the relief are cross sections of the layers that make up the texture.  Ring spacing is the nominal distance between layers.

Ring Width : The rings have a characteristic width or thickness as well as spacing.

Grain : In addition to the rings, a linear grain can be specified in the texture.  The grain remains linear but is perturbed by the noise applied to the rings.

Grain Stretch : This parameter specifies how long the "fibers" of the grain appear to be.

Bias : The veneer texture simulates a sheets cut from a virtual "log".  The log is centered at the Position value and extends along the X axis.  The "bias" parameter specifies in degrees how much the log is tipped around the Y axis.  More bias in the cut exposes more end grain.

Notes : We are slicing through the "log" with the shape of the relief so using the wood texture on a rounded relief, for example, will give a different texture than if we use a flat relief.
