Synth
Get knit- or weave-like surface rhythm without image textures. Synth builds repeating relief from math only: set how often the pattern wraps around the vase (U) and how many bands stack along height (V), then tune Depth (mm) and Sharpness.
Check is a smooth grid of bumps. Basket uses the same pattern but flips sign on alternating layers so ridges read as staggered rows. Wales favors vertical ribs; Chevron and Diagonal bias relief along opposite diagonal directions.

Parameters
Pattern- Wales: vertical ribs. Chevron: diagonal V. Check: grid product. Basket: Check with alternating layer sign. Diagonal: ribs along the opposite diagonal family from Chevron.
Repeat around (U)- How many pattern cycles wrap around the circumference.
Repeat along height (V)- How many pattern cycles stack from bottom to top.
Depth (mm)- Radial relief strength.
Phase U / Phase V- Rotate the pattern around the vase or along height.
Skew- Chevron: skews the diagonal mix. Diagonal: scales frequency along the u−v direction.
Sharpness- Soft sine relief versus squarer, crisper ridges (similar idea to Knurling).
Spiral (°)- Rotates the pattern around the vase as height increases (same idea as on other surface effects).
Growth- When a growth curve is enabled, effect strength follows the curve over height (same as Z-Ripple, Knurling, and other supported effects).
