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

• • 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 fabric/piece of cloth.

• Pattern
  Name of the pattern to use for this iteration.

• Selection
  Primitives/groups to be considered by this iteration.
  
  

Main Settings

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

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

• Tile Offset (UV Scale Only)
  UV coordinate offset.

• Rotate
  90º rotation of the pattern.

• Inflate
  Offset pattern along Mesh normals.

• Subdivide Curves
  Refines the curves by adding resolution, making them smoother and more detailed.

Width Control

• Width Scale
  Global width override

• Random Width
  Random width variation multiplier 

• Seed
  Seed for random width variation 

Mask

• No Override
  Bypass / does nothing 

• Mesh attribute
  Uses a mesh attribute to set the width

• Texture
  Uses a map to set the width

  • Color Channel
    Channel to be used

  • Scale
    UV coordinate scale

  • Rotate
    Angle rotation of UV coordinates

  • Translate
    UV coordinate offset

  • Remap
    Fit/remap the texture, useful for inverting values

• Remove By Width
  Threshold to delete curves below specified width (improves performance) 

Offset

• Enable
  Enables the offset feature

• Offset
  Displace the fabric in negative and positive values

Mask

• No Override
  Bypass / does nothing 

• Mesh attribute
  Uses a mesh attribute to offset the fabric

• Texture
  Uses a texture to offset the fabric

Pattern Settings: Weave

• Remove Weft
  Deletes weft yarns

• Offset Weft
  Displace weft yarns

• Remove Warp
  Deletes warp yarns

• Offset Warp
  Displace warp yarns

Jacquard

• Enable
  Enables the jacquard engine

• 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

Mask

• No Override
  Bypass / does nothing 

• Mesh attribute
  Uses a mesh attribute to interlace the weave

• Texture
  Uses a map to interlace the weave

  • Color Channel
    Channel to be used

  • Scale
    UV coordinate scale

  • Rotate
    Angle rotation of UV coordinates

  • Translate
    UV coordinate offset

  • Remap
    Fit/remap the texture, useful for inverting values

Knitting Blend

• Enable
  Activates the Knitting Blend engine

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