Properties

Gap

Thickness of the gap between grid.

Shift

Shift every even row by a fix amount to create brick pattern.

Shift Axis

The axis to apply shift to.

Rendering Modes

Colored Tile

Fill each grid with different color sampled from the Tile Color property. The Gap Color control the color of the gap between tile.

Height Map

Render the grid out as height map.

Texture Grid

Fill each grid with the texture from the Texture property. This mean each cell will contain the full surface.

Texture Sampler

Fill each cell with solid color sampled from the Texture.

Truchet Properties

Toggling on the Truchet when using the Texture Grid mode will rotate the sampled texture randomly. Using this effect with a surface with rotational symmetry to create an interesting image.

Flip

The Flip Horizontal and Flip Vertical properties are used to control how often a surface will be flip on each axis accordingly.

Angle

The Angle property adds random rotation to each surface.
