TexTiles Procedural Map Patterning

[BIALOSKY_PARTNERS]

I was curious if there was any good information around on the TexTiles procedural map. I have noticed that by default, the pattern creates a running bond, where the row above is offset 1/2 way through the original row, and this repeats. I'm looking to change this patterning from 1/2 way though to 1/3 of the way through, so that instead of every 2nd column aligning, it'd be every 3rd row of a column would align.

I'm attaching tow images, one is what I have created and the second shows a quick overlay of where I'd like the joints to be ideally. I have scoured the internet to find nothing about this. Is it possible? If so which of the settings do I have to change in the TexTiles Map?

Thanks!

Hi Matt,

Try something like this...

I tried something similar to that earlier. This doesn't work as I intended...it offsets to the 1/3 position, but only works for 2 rows, not 3. See attached image.

It looks like you are almost there. What settings have you got now? Can you send the file and I will have a play.

After a LOT of work and effort, I'm not sure what I want to do is possible with the way that the material is currently set up. I would still love some sort of documentation for the TexTile Map, so I know what the heck some of these settings do/change/affect.

Thanks!

Unfortunately, we don't have our own tile documentation. However, the V-Ray for Rhino tile it is pretty close to the 3ds Max tiles version. So, you can use the 3ds max documentation to learn a little bit more about it.
