GRAPHICAL PATTERN EDITOR

FREEDOM TO CREATE YOUR OWN PATTERNS

Where standard patterns are simply not enough, OmniTiles comes into place. With the graphical pattern editor, it´s easy to create new patterns, based on rectangular shapes or by freely drawing new shapes.

Each shape represents a UV map and by arranging the shapes, new patterns evolve that build up to a new material, either with randomly distributed bitmaps using the convenient texture manager and included library, or by using the new SLICE mode to cut out tiles or bricks from a photo automatically.

80 PATTERN PRESETS

Library with over 80 patterns

The included over 80 pattern presets will cover most pattern types and if you need more, you can create your own. You can either load patterns directly as pattern preset file into OmniTiles, but keep the loaded bitmaps and material settings. This way you can easily create multiple pattern variations of a material using the same bricks or tiles.

Each pattern can have it´s own real world dimension settings, which will be used for the baked textures and can be used for easier real world size mapping in 3D applications.

FLEX MATERIALS

CHANGE PATTERNS AND TEXTURES ON THE FLY

You are not limited to the patterns or textures from static photos. Each preset from the OmniTiles library can be further modified by changing the pattern or textures.

Over 80 pattern presets offer a wide variety from standard bonds to exotic tiles found in far corners of the world, found in old ancient buildings, modern architecture, large buildings, standard houses and interior floor tiles.

Each pattern can be customized to create new patterns, or if required you can design your own patterns from scratch.

RANDOMIZATION

OF COLOR, POSITION, SURFACE, UV SPACE

Aside of randomly distributed textures, tiles can further be changed by randomizing HUE, SATURATION, VALUE or changing UV shift, mirroring or scaling for every tile in pattern.

As a result, even with few or even only one bitmap, a large random pattern texture can be created.

The example on the right shows a parquet wood floor which was generated with only ONE wood texture using the randomization options in OmniTiles. The left image is not using any randomization.

MOSAIC PATTERNS

MATCH ANY TILE TO ANY SOURCE MAP

The Mosaic feature maps any number of bitmaps automatically to a source map. While loading bitmaps with the texture manager, the average bitmap color will be calculated which is then used to map the bitmap to the source image.

The mosaic feature provides unprecedented flexibility with mosaic patterns, offering full flexibility with the pattern, repetition, bitmaps to match and source colors. The three match modes RGB, HSV and INTENSITY provide further options for pairing bitmaps to the source.
