This page provides information on the V-Ray Grid Texture.
Overview
The V-Ray Grid texture map generates a procedural grid texture.
Parameters
Color Line – Specifies the grid line's color or texture. When a texture is selected, it overrides the color as long as the texture checkbox is enabled.
Color Fill – Specifies the grid fill's color or texture. When a texture is selected, it overrides the color as long as the texture checkbox is enabled.
U Width – Controls the horizontal line width.
V Width – Controls the vertical line width. For more information, see the U Width and V Width example below.
Color Manipulation
Invert Texture – Inverts the RGB texture values.
Alpha from Intensity – Uses the texture RGB intensity/ luminance as alpha channel.
Color Gain – Corrects the color of the texture by multiplying the the RGB color values in the texture with the RGB color values specified here. A texture map can be assigned here.
Color Offset – Corrects the color of the texture by adding the RGB color values specified here to the RGB color values of the texture. A texture map can be assigned here.
Default Color – Specifies a default color used for polygons with no valid UVs. In case the map is not tiled, specifies a default color that is used outside the texture square.
Example: U Width and V Width
Multipliers
Mode – Specifies the multiplication mode of the colors.
Multiply – The color used for blending is black.
Blend Amount– The color used for blending is the one specified in the color slot.
Color A – Specifies blends between a color and a texture, if specified.
Color B – Specifies blends between a color and a texture, if specified.
Texture Placement
Type – Controls how the texture is positioned on the geometry.
2D (UV Channel) – The texture uses the object UV coordinates.
Environment – This mode is currently not supported in V-Ray for Revit.
2D (UV Channel)
UV Channel/Set – Specifies the index of the mapping channel data to use. A value of 1 takes the first available channel.
Repeat U/V – Determines how many times the texture is repeated in the 0 to 1 UV square.
Lock U/V Repeat – Locks the U/V Repeat.
Offset U/V – Controls the texture offset in the U and V direction.
Rotate – Rotates the texture (in degrees).
Tile U/V – Tiles the texture in the U and V direction. If the option is disabled, the Default texture color is used outside the 0 to 1 UV square. Default color is found in Parameters > Color Manipulation.
Mirror U/V – Mirrors the texture in the U and V direction separately. The option cuts the texture in the half flipping one side vertically or horizontally. This can be used to avoid seams in-between non-tileable repeated textures.
Double-sided – This option should be enabled only if support for unique front and back face UVS is required. If enabled, channel "n"is used for front-side UVS and channel "n+1" is used for back-side UVS.
