Stucco Map

Stucco is a 3D map that generates a surface pattern that is useful as a Bump map to create the effect of a stuccoed surface.

Note: The Stucco map is not supported by the ART renderer.

Interface

Size

Adjusts the size of the indentations. Use this to make the scale of the stucco match your geometry. Default=20.

Thickness

Blurs the border between the two colors. At 0, the borders are sharp. The higher the Thickness, the more the borders are blurred and the less distinct the indentations are. When you use Stucco as a bump map, the indentations are very faint at 0.5 and disappear at values not much greater. Default=0.15.

Threshold

Determines how much of Color #1 is mixed with Color #2. At 0, only Color #2 is displayed; at 1, only Color #1 is displayed. Default=0.57.

Swap

Exchanges the two color components.

Color #1

Represents the color of the indentations.

Color #2

Represents the background stucco color.

Click one of the swatches to display the Color Selector and change one of these component colors.

Tip: Because the Stucco map is meant to be used as a bump map, usually you don't need to adjust the default colors.

Maps

Assigns a map to replace one of the color components. Turning off the checkbox turns off the associated map (the Stucco map reverts to the associated color component).
