Corona Pattern

The Corona Pattern object can be used to cover a base object with a 3D pattern generated by repeating another object over the base object's surface.

The Corona Pattern must use the following order to work properly:

• Base object
• Corona Pattern
  • Pattern Geometry

Crop box

Edit mode – This parameter allows selecting between using the whole pattern geometry or only the section contained by the Crop box.

UV plane – This parameter defines the orientation (creation plane) that is used by the pattern geometry.

Crop box size X – Croppping the box size in X axis.

Crop box size Y – Croppping the box size in Y axis.

Crop box size Z – Croppping the box size in Z axis.

Fit in object space – Fits the crop box closely around the pattern geometry according to its object space orientation (the axes of the crop box are equal to the axes of the pattern local space).

Fit in world space – Fits the crop box closely around the pattern geometry according to the world space orientation (the axes of the crop box are equal to the axes of world space)

Automatic pattern height – When enabled, the pattern dimensions (aspect relation) always remain proportional.

Pattern height – Changes the height of the pattern along the base object normals. The default value of 100% corresponds to the unmodified height of the crop box.

Pattern offset – Offsets the pattern along the base object normals. The default value of 100% corresponds to having the pattern fully above the base object, while the value of -100% corresponds to the pattern being fully below the base object.

Material from – Selects between using the material from the pattern or the base object.

Pattern Object – When selected, the material is taken from the pattern object.
Base Object – When selected, the material is taken from the base object.

UVW mode – Selects what type of texture mapping coordinates (UVWs) are output by the pattern geometry.

Pattern Object – UVWs are taken from the pattern object.
Base Object – UVWs are taken from the base object.

Render base object – If switched on, the base object is rendered along with the repeated pattern geometry.

Restrict on material ID – If switched on, the repeated pattern is only shown at triangles of the base object that have the selected material ID. The triangles of the base object with different material IDs are displayed without the pattern (unmodified).

Material ID – Sets the material ID for the result.

UVW Space

UVW Channel – Defines the UVW map channel for the result.

Offset U – Controls the horizontal offset.

Offset V – Controls the vertical offset.

Tiling U – Controls the horizontal repetition over the base object's surface.

Tiling V – Controls the vertical repetition over the base object's surface.

From U – This parameter sets the initial position for the randomization in the U coordinate.

From V – This parameter sets the initial position for the randomization in the V coordinate.

To U – This parameter sets the maximum end position for the randomization in the U coordinate. The pattern object can randomly use any value between the From U and To U parameters.

To V – This parameter sets the maximum end position for the randomization in the V coordinate. The pattern object can randomly use any value between the From V and To V parameters.

Step U – Using a non-zero step restricts the possible random offsets to just multiples of the value.

Step V – Using a non-zero step restricts the possible random offsets to just multiples of the value.

From – This parameter sets the initial rotation angle (in degrees) for the randomization.

To – This parameter sets the maximum rotation angle (in degrees) for the randomization. The pattern object can randomly use any value between the From and To rotation parameters.

Step – This parameter lets you decide the rotation increment for the randomization.
