Fibric Stitches

Overview

Fibric Stitches is a versatile node for creating highly customizable stitches and seams on Fibric garments. It supports multiple input methods, including edge selection, mesh drawing, UV drawing, and texture input, giving artists extensive control over stitch appearance, width, spacing, rotation, and more.
The node also works as a standalone tool, meaning it can be applied directly to a mesh without requiring a curve-based fabric generated by Fibric.
Choose from preset stitch types like cross, feather, and braids, or create your own custom stitches to achieve anything from realistic seams to bold decorative stitching. 

Main Settings

Visualize Mode

• • Full
    Final output of stitches that work in harmony with Fibric garments.

  • Low
    Preview output optimized for performance feedback.
    Important: Visualize Low turns the node red to indicate a temporary preview state. Use it only for performance feedback and switch back to Full mode before finalizing your setup.
    
    

General

• • Name
    Name of stitches primitives

  • From Input Curves
    Enables the usage of Input Curves.

  • Curves Selection
    List of connected Input Curves.

  • Edges Selection
    Edge selection to guide stitches.

  • Ignore
    Skip calculation of Fibric primitives.

  • Type
    List of stitch types: Base, Cross, Feather,ZigZag, Line, Braids.

  • Custom Stitches (Checkbox)
    Enable the usage of custom stitches.

  • Custom Stitches Selection
    List of connected custom stitches.

  • Connect Backside
    Stitches get a seamless connection on the back.

  • Subdivide
    Controls the level of subdivision of the stitch iteration.

  • Color
    Controls the color of the stitches based on stitch iteration.

  • Affect Fabric
    Enables the tension and stretch deformation caused by the stitches on the fabric.

Type Settings (Standard/custom)

• Spacing
  Distance between stitches.

• Scale
  Size of the stitch.

• Rotate
  Rotates the stitches across a full 360-degree range, with values from 0 to 1 representing a complete rotation cycle.

• Stretch
  Controls the scale of the stitches independently along X and Y axes, allowing directional stretching of the stitch pattern.

• Width
  Thickness of the stitch.

• Duplicate
  Clone the stitches multiple times with control over the number of duplicates and the X and Y offset between each clone.

• Remove
  Random removal of stitches.

Offset

• Random Offset X/Y
  Randomly displace the stitches along the X and Y axes for organic variation.

• Height Offset
  Displaces the stitches from the surface.

• Slide Offset
  Bias the stitches along the perpendicular (right) direction for directional shifting.

• Invert/Of
  Works in conjunction with Slide Offset to create an alternating pattern. Invert every # of # stitches to cycle through and alternate the slide bias direction, creating varied stitch offsets across the sequence.
