Shape
In: Texture Generators > Patterns
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 - 1.0
Scales the entire shape.
Size 0.0 - 1.0
Allows for non-uniform scaling over either X- or Y-axis.
Angle 0.0 - 1.0
Rotates the entire shape.
Rotation 45° False/True
Rotates at pre-set 45 degrees.
Non Square Expansion False/True
Enables compensation of squash and stretch with non-square ratios.
Non Square Tiling False/True
When Non Square Expansion is enabled, this will tile the shape without squashing.
