Blending
Type
: Dropdown, Options:Replace
/Darken
/Multiply
/Lighten

/Subtract
/Add
/Overlay
/Mixed
Which blending operation to use for the Decal's base color.
These are the same blending operations used in Adobe Photoshop.
Pan & Offset
Type
: Float4
Configures the amount of Panning to run on the Truchet. This can also configure the offset of each Truchet tile.
Modifier | Function |
---|---|
PanX | How much to pan the Truchet on the X-axis. |
PanY | How much to pan the Truchet on the Y-axis. |
OffX | How much to offset each tile on the X-axis. |
OffY | How much to offset each tile on the Y-axis. |
Density
Type
: Float
Configures the density of how many Truchet tiles should appear in the tile.
Color
Type
: Color
Configures the Color of the Truchet.
Truchet Texture
Type
: Color Texture (sRGB = On
)
Which texture to use for the Truchet pattern.
Truchet Mask
Type
: Data Texture (sRGB = On
)
Mask to use to clamp the Truchet effect to only a specific area on the UV.
Emission Strength
Type
: Float, Range:0.0 - 20.0
How much Emission to apply to the Truchet Color. Higher values will yield a bloom-like effect in certain Worlds.
Thiccness
Type
: Float, Range:0.0 - 0.5
Determines how thick each quarter-circle should be drawn.
Edge Sharpness
Type
: Float, Range:0.0 - 1.0
Determines how sharp the edge of each quarter-circle. This can be used to create either a sharp edge or a more softer and smooth edge.
Alpha
Type
: Float, Range:0.0 - 1.0
How much to apply the Truchet to the Base Color.
This slider can be used to control the main appearance of the Truchet.
Override Alpha
Type
: Checkbox
If enabled, will override the Alpha/Transparency from the Base, if Transparency exists.
AudioLink
This section allows control of Truchet through AudioLink. It will only be exposed when AudioLink is activated on the Material.
Hide When No AL
Type
: Checkbox
If enabled, the Truchet will be completely hidden when there's NO AudioLink whatsoever.
AL Emission
TYpe
: Checkbox
Enables the ability to control the Truchet Emission using AudioLink.
Emission Band
Type
: Dropdown, Options:Bass
/Low Mid
/High Mid
/Treble
Which band to use for the Audio Link Emission adjustment.
Emission Mod
Type
: Vector2
How much to modify the Emission of the Truchet.
Channel | Function |
---|---|
X | Amount Added to Emission with no audio in Emission Band |
Y | Amount Added to Emission with max audio in Emission Band |
AL Alpha
TYpe
: Checkbox
Enables the ability to control the Truchet Alpha using AudioLink.
Alpha Band
Type
: Dropdown, Options:Bass
/Low Mid
/High Mid
/Treble
Which band to use for the Audio Link Alpha adjustment.
Alpha Multiply
Type
: Vector2
How much to multiply the Alpha of the Truchet.
Channel | Function |
---|---|
X | Amount Multiplied to Alpha with no audio in Alpha Band |
Y | Amount Multiplied to Alpha with max audio in Alpha Band |
Chrono Pan
Type
: Checkbox
Enables the ability to use Chronotensity timing on the Truchet.
Band
Type
: Dropdown, Options:Bass
/Low Mid
/High Mid
/Treble
Which band to use for the Audio Link Chrono Rotation adjustment.
Chrono Motion Type
Type
: Dropdown
Which motion type to use for the Chrono Pan. Chronotensity is an Audio Link feature that allows time-dependent features, which shaders alone cannot do. In this case, chronotensity is used to create a time-dependent rotation of the Truchet.
Chrono Motion Type Options
- Motion Increases as intensity of the band increases
- Above but Smooth
- Motion moves back and forth as a function of intensity
- Above but Smoooth
- Fixed Speed Increase when the band is dark Stationary when light
- Above but Smooooth
- Fixed Speed Increase when the band is dark Fixed speed decrease when light
Pan Speed
Type
: Float2
Amount to pan the Truchet with AudioLink.
Modifier | Function |
---|---|
X | How much to pan the Truchet on the X-axis with AudioLink. |
X | How much to pan the Truchet on the Y-axis with AudioLink. |
