Fiber Glass Edge Wear
Fiber Glass Edge Wear
In: Mesh Based Generators/Mask Generators
Intermediate
Description
Generates a black and white mask based on baked maps and user settings. Similar to Smart Masks in Painter.
Represents a mask specifically intended for a fibreglass-type of wear, could perhaps be used for cloth. Due to the very tiled, repetitive nature of the fibres, Triplanar blending can optionally be enabled.
Parameters
Inputs
- Curvature: Grayscale Input
Baked map used for edge highlighting. Required! - Ambient Occlusion: Grayscale Input
Baked map used for masking occluded areas. Not required, but definitely recommended. - Grunge Input: Grayscale Input
Optional custom slot to override fiber pattern. - Mask (optional): Grayscale Input
Mask slot used for masking the node's effects. - World Space Normal: Color Input
Only used for Triplanar. - Position: Color Input
Only used for Triplanar.
Parameters
- Wear Level: 0.0 - 1.0
Like a Histogram Scan, progressively reveals the wear. - Wear Contrast: 0.0 - 1.0
Sets total effect contrast. - Edges Smoothness: 0.0 - 16.0
Sets bleed out/blurring from highlighted edges. - Grunge Amount: 0.0 - 1.0
Sets how much of the fibre effect to blend in between the edges. Tweak this together with Wear Level to get maximum control. - Ambient Occlusion Masking: 0.0 - 1.0
Sets amount of influence the AO has on hiding the effect. - Curvature Weight: 0.0 - 1.0
Sets amount of influence Convex edges from the Curvature have. - Use Custom Grunge: False/True
Overrides built-in fibres with custom map. - Use Triplanar: False/True
Enables Tri Planar to hide seams. - Triplanar Blending Contrast: 0.0 - 1.0
Controls contrast of the Triplanar effect.
