Textura

Assigns a texture to the Freestyle stroke.

Estilo de línea: Textura.

Usar nodos

In Cycles textures are defined by means of shader Nodes.

Espaciado a lo largo del trazo

Allows to set the «pace» of textures mapped along the length of strokes.

Nodos

Nodo UV a lo largo del trazo

El nodo UV a lo largo del trazo.

The UV Along Stroke input node is maps textures along the stroke length, making it possible to mimic pencil, paintbrush, and other art medium marks.

Nota

These UV maps become available only during the Freestyle rendering process. Hence, the UV Along Stroke node cannot be replaced by the conventional UV Map input node which takes an existing UV map already defined as part of mesh data.

Este nodo no contiene entradas.

Propiedades

Usar puntas

Allows to use lower quarters of a texture image for the head and tail tips of a stroke, while the upper half for the stroke body.

UV

UV maps defined along strokes.

Nodo Estilo de línea

El nodo Estilo de línea.

The Line Style Output node specifies how to mix the texture information into the base color of line styles.

Entradas

Color

Color input for the texture.

Factor de color

Standard mix factor of the Color value.

Alfa

Alpha input for the texture.

Factor de alfa

Standard mix factor of the Alpha value.

Propiedades

Mezclar

The Blend mode can be selected in the select menu. See Color Blend Modes for details on each blending mode.

Limitar

Limit the highest color value to not exceed 1.0.

Ejemplo

The image below shows a typical shader node tree that maps a floral texture image along strokes. The UV Along Stroke input node retrieves UV maps defined by Freestyle along generated strokes, and passes them to the Vector input channel of the Image Texture node. A texture image is selected in the Image Texture node, and its color is inputted to the Alpha channel of the Line Style Output node. Since the Alpha Factor is set to one, the texture image replaces the base alpha transparency of the active line style (shown in the Freestyle Line Style panel). On the other hand, the Mix blend mode is selected in the Line Style Output node with the Color Factor set to zero, so that the gradient line color specified in the active line style is applied along strokes.

Example of Line Style Nodes (blend-file).

It is noted that the texture image FS_floral_brush.png shown in the screen capture is an example of Freestyle brush images with tips. Specifically, the upper half of the image is used as a seamless horizontal tile of the stroke body. Whereas the parts in the lower half are tips (stroke caps) at both ends of the stroke.
