This page provides information on the V-Ray Checker Texture.

 

Overview


The Checker texture map can be set to any color and generates a procedural checkerboard texture.

 

 

 

Parameters


Color A – Specifies a color or texture for what would usually be the white squares on the checkerboard.

Color B – Specifies a color or texture for what would usually be the black squares on the checkerboard.

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. When a texture is selected, it overrides the color as long as the texture checkbox is enabled. 

Color Offset  Corrects the color of the texture by adding the RGB color values specified here to the RGB color values of the texture. When a texture is selected, it overrides the color as long as the texture checkbox is enabled. 

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.  When a texture is selected, it overrides the color as long as the texture checkbox is enabled.

 

 

 

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.
