Fibric Generator

Overview

The Fibric_generator node wraps fabric patterns onto UV-mapped geometry, enabling realistic textile generation directly on mesh surfaces. It provides intuitive controls for pattern tiling, rotation, and fiber width, along with advanced parameters for detailed fabric customization. 

General

• Scale Mode
  Normalizes pattern scale based on consistent texel density across the mesh

  • Real Life Scale: Normalizes pattern scale based on consistent texel density across the mesh

• UV Scale: Uses the UV island scale directly without normalization

• Name
  Name of the piece of cloth.

• Pattern
  Name of the pattern to use.

• Selection
  Primitives/groups to be considered to apply the pattern to.
  
  

Main Settings

• Scale (Real Life Scale Only)
  Size of the pattern in real-world units.

  • Weave: Scale in centimeters of the input pattern.

  • Knitting: Scale in centimeters of the input knit, for convenience a scale of 1 centimeters is equivalent of .4 centimeters.

• Tile Scale (UV Scale Only)
  UV tile scale multiplier.

• Rotate
  Rotation of the pattern.

• Inflate
  Offset pattern along Mesh normals.

• Subdivide Curves
  Subdivide the curves making them smoother and more detailed.

• Freeze Mesh Frame
  Freeze mesh at frame to avoid time dependent results.

Width Control

• Width Scale
  Global width scale.

• Random Width
  Random width variation multiplier.

• Seed
  Seed for random width variation.

Remove by Width

• Threshold
  Remove points with a width value below this threshold. 

Offset

• Offset
  Displace amount of the fabric in negative and positive values.

Pattern Settings: Weave

• Remove Weft
  Deletes weft yarns

• Offset Weft
  Displace weft yarns

• Remove Warp
  Deletes warp yarns

• Offset Warp
  Displace warp yarns

Jacquard

• Mode

  • Replace: Overrides upstream weave pattern to map weft and warp yarn with the Weave Image 

  • Multiply: Multiplies the jacquard engine with the upstream pattern

• Shift Yarn

  • When multiply mode is on, it shift the yarn value of the weave.

Knitting Blend

•  Blend Pattern
  Select a secondary pattern input to blend shape with the main Pattern
