Substance Designer • Hexagonal Tiles

Description

The Hexagonal Tiles node is useful for creating hexagonal procedural patterns, with control over certain parameters driven by external input maps.
It can also output local and global UVs.

Parameters

Inputs

• Scale Map Input: Grayscale Input
  Grayscale map to drive tile scaling.
• Softness Map Input: Grayscale Input
  Grayscale map to drive tile softness.
• Color Map Input: Grayscale Input
  Map to drive per-tile tinting. 
• Mask Map Input: Grayscale Input
  Mask slot used for hiding certain tiles. 

Parameters

• Tiling : 0 - 32
  Amount of X and Y-Repetitions of the pattern.
• Regular Hexagons : True/False
  Determines if the hexagonal patterns are regular or not
• Safe Tiling : True/False
  Rounds the tiling values to make sure the resulting pattern is tileable
  
  
• Size
  • Scale : 0.0 - 1.0
    Changes non-uniform proportions for tiles
  • Size : 0.0 - 1.0
    Sets global tile scale
  • Size Randomness : 0.0 - 1.0
    Randomizes scale per-tile
  • Scale Map Multiplier : 0.0 - 1.0
    Blends in the effect of the Scale map
• Softness
  • Softness : 0.0 - 1.0
    Changes the softness of the tiles
  • Softness Random : 0.0 - 1.0
    Randomizes softness per-tile
  • Softness Map Multiplier : 0.0 - 1.0
    Blends in the effect of the Softness map
• Color
  • Mask Map Threshold : 0.0 - 1.0
    Threshold for mask map to start hiding tiles
  • Invert Map Mask : True/False
    Inverts Mask map effect
  • Mask Random : 0.0 - 1.0
    Random masking, works parallel to mask map
  • Invert Mask : True/False
    Inverts random masking
  • Color : 0.0 - 1.0
    Solid, global tile color
  • Color Random : 0.0 - 1.0
    Randomization of color, per-tile
  • Color Map Multiplier : 0.0 - 1.0
    Blends in the color Parametrization effect
• UVs
  • Output Local UVs : True/False
    Outputs UVs for each tiles
  • Output Grid UVs : True/False
    Outputs the position of individual tiles
