Patterned textures are complex textures made up of multiple textures. The component textures may be plain textures or may be made up of patterned textures. A plain texture has just one pigment, normal and finish statement. Even a pigment with a pigment map is still one pigment and thus considered a plain texture as are normals with normal map statements.
Patterned textures use either a texture_map
statement to specify a blend or pattern of textures or they use block textures such as checker
with a texture list or a bitmap similar to an image map called a material map specified with a material_map
statement.
The syntax is...
- texture {
[PATTERNED_TEXTURE_ID] [TRANSFORMATIONS...] }
|
- texture {
PATTERN_TYPE [TEXTURE_PATTERN_MODIFIERS...] }
|
- texture {
tiles
TEXTURE tile2
TEXTURE [TRANSFORMATIONS...] }
|
- texture {
- material_map{
- }
- }
- texture_map{
TEXTURE_MAP_BODY }
There are restrictions on using patterned textures. A patterned texture may not be used as a default texture (see section "The #default Directive"). A patterned texture cannot be used as a layer in a layered texture however you may use layered textures as any of the textures contained within a patterned texture.
