But recently I am doing a logo for an opensource project and I am looking for some inspiration to render a wooden texture.
Initially I got some decent results with the filter "matte ridge" but *nix OS don't render special effects so I decided to stick with something more conventional.
So far I "traced" a picture but the result is not very optimal and produce to many nodes...
From left the img, at center traced bitmpa and right tiled tracing.
I am using the one of the middle but is not desirable, even though I am cloning it are still too many nodes...
It can be a solution and pretty smart too! I'll take it as to-do list, I want before finish the logo, then I'll return later to fix what I am not very satisfied about!
The ideal would be to apply a distortion filter in some points (and without exaggeration) to not leave the texture with absolutely straight lines. I don't know how to do it in Inkscape. I made a wood effect in Gimp, something like this. You can see the tutorial here. It is in Brazilian Portuguese, but can be translated via Google...
Beyond the Basics Looking for some wood textures inspiration

Hi folks,
it has been a long absence by my side...

Any suggestion will be really appreciate, thanks!

Sadly the above filters do not work with Inkscape :(
I made the example below with dashes and blur.

Anyway thanks! 👍👍👍

Perhaps by using the Roughen Live Path Effect, new ideas can be developed. See ...

Eventually I opted for a basic approach, works fine with a good result, thanks to all for the inspiration!
