Geometric Motifs

A grab-bag of clean geometric shapes -- triangles, diamonds, hexagons -- scattered across the surface like tiles in a Moroccan courtyard. Each seed roll can produce a different shape type, so every generation is a small surprise. Perfect for adding structured, architectural detail to vase-mode prints.

Parameters

Count
How many shapes to scatter. More shapes = denser mosaic; fewer = bold focal elements.
Fill
Probability that each grid cell gets a shape. Lower values leave breathing room between motifs.
Contrast
Color range between shape and background. High contrast cuts sharp silhouettes.
Shape Size
Scale of each individual motif. Large shapes interlock; small ones float independently.
Blur
Rounds off the crisp geometry into softer, more forgiving forms.
Seed
Regenerates the entire layout -- shape type, placement, and rotation. Hunt for the perfect arrangement.
Resolution
Texture resolution in pixels. Higher values preserve sharp polygon edges.
Ratio
Aspect ratio of the generated texture. Match to your UV mapping for undistorted shapes.
Depth (mm)
How far shapes push outward (or inward with negative values). Think raised tiles vs. carved inlays.
Tile U / Tile V
Repeats the motif field around (U) and along height (V) for all-over geometric wallpaper.
Rotation
Rotates the entire pattern on the UV map. Try 30° for a fresh tessellation angle.
Width Gain
Thickens extrusion lines over bright shape areas for embossed-looking motifs.
Flow Gain
Pushes extra material into shape regions for raised, tactile geometry.
