This page contains information about the V-Ray Tiles Texture.

Overview

The  V-Ray Tiles Texture  map can be used to generate a versatile procedural tile texture.  It uses two colors that can be either changed by the user or have texture maps assigned to them and allows you to chose from a number of  Pattern Types  as well.

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.

 

 

Parameters

Pattern Type – Allows you to select from certain preset tile patterns.  Some channels controls may not be visible in the UI for this texture if the Pattern Type chosen does not support or need it.

Custom Tiles

Tile

Color Tile – Controls the color of the Tiles.  This channel can also be controlled by a texture map.

Horizontal Count – Controls the horizontal tile count.

Vertical Count – Controls the vertical tile count.

Color Variance – Controls the amount of color variety in the tiles.

Fade Variance – Controls how faded the color from the Color Variance.

Random Seed – Used to generate the procedural Tiles Texture.  By changing this value you can change the look.

 


Mortar

Color Mortar – Controls the color of the mortar.  This channel can also be controlled by a texture map. 

Gap H/V – Controls the size of the horizontal and vertical gaps between the tiles.

Lock Gap – Locks the Horizontal and Vertical gaps. 

Holes – Controls the percentage of tiles that are missing.

Edge Noise – Controls how rough the edges of each tile are.

 


Stack Layout

Line Shift – Controls the amount of shift between each line of tiles.

Random Shift – Randomizes the shift.

 

Row Modify

Row Modify – When enabled, the custom parameters are used. 

Per Row – Specifies which rows get the number of tiles modified by the Change parameter. 

Change – Changes the number of tiles for the rows specified. Smaller values increase the number of tiles.

 

Column Modify

Column Modify – When enabled, the custom parameters are used. 

Per Column – Specifies which columns get the number of tiles modified by the Change parameter. 

Change – Changes the number of tiles for the columns specified. Smaller values increase the number of tiles. 

 

Color Manipulation

Invert Texture – Inverts the RGB texture values.

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

Color Gain – Color corrects the texture by multiplying the RGB color values in the texture with the RGB color values specified here.

Color Offset – Color corrects the texture by adding the RGB color values specified here to the RGB color values in the texture.

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 Tile – Blends between a color and a texture, if specified. 

Color Mortar – Blends between a color and a texture, if specified.
