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.

Any texture can be replaced via the Replace With New Texture () button, which activates when you select the texture to be replaced. If the texture is an instance, all copies are changed as well.

Color Manipulation

Invert Texture – Inverts the RGB texture values. 

Alpha from Intensity – Uses the texture RGB intensity/ luminance as alpha channel.

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.
