Rendering edgegrain of plywood

I am making a lot of different parts in plywood and am quite new to Rhino. They are all out of a similar material to baltic birch. Is there an easy way to have the look of ply end grain applied to the edges in a solid. Below is pictured a part and then the texture i want applied to all sides?


  1. Create new PBR material with the texture in the base color slot.
  2. Sub-object select the sides (cmd+shift+click).
  3. Assign material to the selection.
  4. Create a box mapping on your object
    • Ensure box encompasses your object
    • No to Capped since you use only sides
  5. Drill into endgrain texture and rotate 90 degrees if necessary
