Paving


This solid shader creates a random layout of paving stones, separated by mortar. The stone surface and mortar are defined by two colors each, which are random

Scale: This parameter determines the size of the stones relative to the overall shader pattern.

Shape Variation: This parameter controls the random shape and size of the stones. The higher the value, the more random the stone become. At low values, the stones approach a square grid.

Paving Smoothness: This parameter controls the shape fo the edges of the stones. Low values result in straight and high values in round edges.

Color 1, Color 2: These two colors are blended to create the stone color. Color 1 becomes the base color and Color 2 is superimposed in the form of small speckles.

Color Variation Scale: The two colors are mixed to form a random pattern. This parameter determines the scale of this pattern.

Grain Variation: The pattern of the two colors can be further randomized to resemble small dots of grain. How much grain is produced is determined by this parameter.
Grain Variation Scale: The size of the extra grain is set by this parameter.

Mortar: This group of options controls the shape of the mortar.

Size: This parameter determines the thickness of the mortar joints.

Center Color, Edge Color: These are the colors of the joints in the middle and at the edge.

Color Variation: This parameter determines the randomness, when the edge and center color are blended together.

Color Variation Scale: When the edge and center colors are blended, a random pattern is generated. This parameter determines the size of the pattern.

Irregularity: This parameter further specifies the shape of the joints. High values produce rough and broken up joints while low values result in straight and smooth joints.
