Description: more advanced brick texture Email: ahmadkabani@yahoo.com Author: Ahmad Kabani a.k.a Wizard on BlenderArtists. Website: http://www.wizardproductions.org/ahmad/blender/texture_plugins License: GPL ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- This plugin is in beta state. Windows: The plugin wbricks.dll relies on mingwm10.dll and exchndl.dll from the Mingw distribution. Linux: Not available yet Mac (may not work on all Macs) Not available yet ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Controls ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scale Scales texture size # Bricks Number of bricks in pattern Min Width Minimum brick width Max Width Maximum brick width Height Height of brick Min Offset Minimum offset for brick Max Offset Maximum offset for brick Mortar Mortar thickness Shift Amount to shift every row Bevel Amount of bevel applied to brick Nabla Defines size of derivative offset used for calculating normal Round Roundness factor for corners Rotation Rotation in degrees Seed Random number seed The plugin will generate a set of bricks with random width using the parameters above and repeat the pattern along the horizontal and vertical direction. Note that this is a 2D texture plugin and ignores Z coordinate. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note about bump mapping: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The bump map offsets are calculated using nabla. Due to scaling issues, often the effect will look nasty in material preview. You will have to play with the Nor value in texture panels and nabla to make it look good. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note about antialiasing ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oversampling seems to work by applying a 3x3 gaussian filter using the pixel sizes provided by Blender. Seems to work OK but I'm doubtful about how the plugin can really do a proper job of this.
