Looks really nice, but the normal map is a bit too overdone -- I'd reduce the Surface Height to 10 or so. Also, the surface texture (diffuse) is too dark -- I'd brighten it.

Creating this filter I was need to learn how to make roof tiles and wood surface
and I couldn't find the more better examples than PERFECT filters
Wood by Kochubey and Vintage Clay Tile by Mike Blackney

"Wooden roof" with only one control now.
But the next controls are planned and can be added:

[1] wood surface roughness
[2] planks position (H,V,Random)
[3] different planks width in rows
[4] wood surface type (custom or/and random control)
[5] broken, replaced & lost planks
[6] moss
[7] wet surface
[8] colors slider
[9] chaos control (chaos shift degree in any sides)
[10] space between planks
[11] wood pattern type

Any suggestions are welcome and will be considered

OK

Possible variations:

WR-N1 (added controls: "8")

WR-N2 (added controls: 3,4,8,10,11)


Thanks to Tatiana and Connie for positive comments
and to Vladimir for constructive critique.

Merry Christmas!

I'd also try to keep the original, weathered look while toning down the normal map. When saying that the diffuse map is too dark, I wasn't talking about the result, I was talking about the fact that the Surface Color input is too dark and that you had to compensate for that by increasing the lighting Brightness to 300 or so.

Yeah, I'm actually wondering why it didn't get EP.
