The problem that this feature will solve: the inability to control the direction of wood grain when rendering with materials Expected outcomes: More realistic pattern for rendering by changing direction of wood along with aesthetic presentation to clients. The rendering settings for wood should inc…

I think a previous post from the team mentioned that this is on the todo list.

This is a feature which many people are hoping for. It was supposed to be released over 6 month ago (if no unexpected problems emerged). By now, I think it’s safe to assume that unexpected problems did emerge^^ I just wish we had some more information about the progress!

Yes, we’ve run into performance problems, that required more significant changes under the hood. We estimate that material orientation will be available in 5.310 or 5.320, in 5-7 weeks.

Surely it’s not too hard to sort out… :pray:

I would guess it will be worth the wait :+1:

/cricket sounds Anything to add? This is a very basic function and visualization has been out for more than a year… not to mention how many times it was requested by probably hundreds of users. :disappointed:

End grain texturing would also be great (I sometimes design end grain cutting boards with shapr3d and the previews leave much to be desired)

Any updates on rotating woodgrain rendering? It is becoming an issue now for my business. I do like Shapr3D and don’t want to have to start with new software but this limitation is causing me to consider other packages.

The wait is soon over, woodgrain orientation will be introduced next week! :slight_smile:
