Hi SG.

So I just figured out hex tiling. It's not perfect yet - the edge width of the tiles is not uniform - the horizontal side has lower slope than the others.

How on earth did you manage that??

S'ok - just a rhetorical question - it should probably remain a closely guarded secret :-)

I racked my brains for ages trying to think of a way to do that, unsuccessfully. Well done!

Magnificient stuff. The beta of EZMat is awesome, and getting moreso all the time...

...but the addition of BB plugins too. I simply don't have profound enough superlatives to use here... :-)

I think I got the hex geometry down perfect. Here are some samples, with various parameters modulated top to bottom so it's kind of a catalog.

This was an excellent brain teaser. Now - the next puzzle is how to allow the tiles to be different colors.

With a transparency parameter, it makes a nifty honeycomb stained glass.

Impressive stuff, as always.
I do think you're excelling yourself now, though!

Has this been set up as a plugin?
It would be interesting to see the UI for the options, is all...

So there are many other things to do, but the flatness of the grout or mortar, no matter how minor a detail, was really bugging me. So I fixed it (and made it adjustable, too).

This is with no grout depth.

I don't know what the heck I did here. I've been working for 21 hours and I'm really confused by my code. It's supposed to be metal but it looks like glass.

Going to bed now.

That looks like the chrustmas ornaments that are made out glass but have a metalic finish inside so the look like they are made of metal.

Well, I've done about all I can on this:  I acknowlege that I'm no tailor.  Trying to compensate for M4's default bowling ball shoulders is HARD!  

Anyway, here's the final look:  Each piece (except for the buttons) will have it's own named material zone for easy tweaking, but the UV map will be laid out as shown, so that a single pinstripe texture should lay on the coat properly.  

 

If this looks alright, I'll get it packaged up and sent to you at your convenience.

I am anxious to see it. You can try some tileable textures I made. You can set these up in simple Poser shaders using the scale parameters to size it and repeat it.

You can run these straight into a Blender blending factor and generate any two colors.

Here is Loom_Contrast

Squircle. It's a shape that is a mix between a square and a circle.

Here's a closeup of squircle + diamond.

The formula for a squircle has an exponent in it. When this value is 0 you get a square. When it is 1, a circle. In between 0 and 1, you get the squircle shapes I've been showing.

But what if you go past 1? Fascinating. At 2 you get a diamond. (Which is still a square, but rotated 45 degrees.)

And at 3, a new shape which is called an astroid. It is a diamond with circles cut out of its sides. Of course you can dial in any in-between values you want.

Past 3 it just becomes a narrower astroid - a diamond with squircles cut out of it.

Left to right, squircle + circle, astroid + circle, astroid + astroid.

The example on the right looks like a quilting pattern called Cathedral Windows..

I'm making it into an EZMat plugin.
