Stylization

In: Wear Finish

Description

Use the Stylization filter to modify your material look in order to simplify the details with different effects.

The images below show the bark material before and after having the Stylization filter applied.

Presets

Stylization

    The default preset applies a soft stylization effect by blurring out small details, and increasing contrast

Contrasted Stylization

    This preset applies a brushstrokes-like effect to the material

Painterly

    This preset applies a blurry and soft brushstrokes-like effect to the material

Hand Painted

    This preset applies more contrast than the previous ones, it mimics gouache or oil paint manual brushstrokes

Basic parameters

  • Random seed 
    The random seed that all other random parameters in this filter are based on. 

  • Global filter intensity: 0-1

  • Cavity Range: 0-1 
    Defines how wide the sunken areas will be in the material.

  • Cavity Blur: 0-1
    Adjust the level of blur in the areas at the edge of the cavities of the material

  • Curvature intensity: 0-1 
    Modify how visible the highest point of the materials will be, colored with the color defined in the “Curvature Color” parameter

  • Curvature Colorize Intensity: 0-1 
    Adjust the opacity of the color defined in the “Curvature Color” parameter

  • Curvature Color: Color
