Description

Generates a variety of procedural shapes, with options to modify base shapes. The shapes are always perfectly interpolated and high-precision.

Despite its simplicity, this is a very useful node: it is the building block of most procedural Heightmap generation! By combining basic shapes with transform nodes, you can create a fully-procedural Heightmap shape that is much more precise than any bitmap.

Parameters

• Tiling: 1 - 16
  Sets the amount of times the result should tile.
• Pattern: Square, Disc, Paraboloid, Bell, Gaussian, Thorn, Pyramid, Brick, Gradation, Waves, Half Bell, Ridged Bell, Crescant, Capsule, Cone, Hemisphere**
  Selects what pattern shape to use.
• Pattern Specific: 0.0 - 1.0
  Lets you change the selected pattern’s shape. The effect is dependent on the selected pattern.
• Scale: 0.0 - 1.0Scales the entire shape.
• Size: 0.0 - 1.0Allows for non-uniform scaling over either X- or Y-axis.
• Angle: 0.0 - 1.0Rotates the entire shape.
• Rotation 45°: False/TrueRotates at pre-set 45 degrees.
• Non Square Expansion: False/True
  Enables compensation of squash and stretch with non-square ratios.
• Non Square Tiling**:** False/TrueWhen Non Square Expansion is enabled, this will tile the shape without squashing.
