Pine Tree Bark - How to create the basic shapes?

[daniel_21]

Hi,

I'm having some trouble with the creation of a pine tree bark substance and could need some assistance.
This picture shows what I'd like to achieve:



The main problem is that I can't find a way to get those main "islands" because of their specific look. A stretched version of "Cells 3" would be the best way to start, I guess. But the aspect ratio of the voronoi tiles is quadratic and they need to be higher than wide and stretching leads to strange results.

So what would be the best way to create those shapes?

Thanks in advance and best regards,
Daniel
