Brick Texture Node

Note

This node is ported from shader nodes. The manual and images are referencing the shader version of the node. This node accepts field inputs and outputs. When not connected the Vector input has an implicit position attribute value.

Tip

Texture nodes can produce details at a higher frequency than geometry can show. This may cause artifacts such as Moiré type patterns or a lack of detail due to insufficient sampling points.

The Brick Texture is used to add a procedural texture producing bricks.

Inputs

Color 1/2: Color of the bricks.
Mortar: The color of the area between bricks.
Scale: Overall texture scale.
Mortar Size: The size of the filling between the bricks known as “mortar”; 0 means no mortar.
Mortar Smooth: Blurs/softens the edge between the mortar and the bricks. This can be useful with a texture and displacement textures.
Bias: The color variation between Color 1/2. Values of -1 and 1 only use one of the two colors; values in between mix the colors.
Brick Width: The width of the bricks.
Row Height: The height of the brick rows.

Properties

Offset: Determines the brick offset of the various rows.
Frequency: Determines the offset frequency. A value of 2 gives an even/uneven pattern of rows.
Squash: Amount of brick squashing.
Frequency: Brick squashing frequency.

Outputs

Color: Texture color output.
Factor: Mortar mask (1 = mortar).
