Stroke

When enabled, the shader use the stroke component. The Stroke component controls how to render the edit lines.

Line Type

Defines how to display or distribute the output material over the stroke.

• Line:

  Connects every points in the strokes showing a continuous line.

  Dots:

  Use a disk shape at each point in the stroke. The dots are not connected.

  Squares:

  Use a square shape at each point in the stroke. The squares are not connected.

Style

The type of the material.

• Solid:

  Use a solid color.

  • Base Color

    The base color of the stroke.

  Texture:

  Use an image texture.

  • Base Color

    The base color of the stroke.

    Image

    The image data-block used as an image source.

    Blend

    Texture and Base Color mixing amount.

    UV Factor

    The image size along the stroke.

Holdout

Removes the color from strokes underneath the current by using it as a mask.

Alignment

Defines how to align the Dots and Squares along the drawing path and with the object’s rotation.

• Path:

  Aligns to the drawing path and the object’s rotation.

  Object:

  Aligns to the object’s rotation; ignoring the drawing path.

  Fixed:

  Aligns to the screen space; ignoring the drawing path and the object’s rotation.

Rotation

Rotates the points of Dot and Square strokes.

Note

The Rotation option is limited to a range of -90 to 90 degrees.

Self Overlap

Disables stencil and overlap self-intersections with alpha materials.

Samples of different material strokes mode types and styles.

Fill

When enabled, the shader use the fill component. The Fill component control how to render the filled areas determined by closed edit lines.

Style

The type of material.

• Solid

  Use solid color.

  • Base Color

    The base color of the fill.

  Gradient

  Use a color gradient.

  • Gradient Type

    Linear

    Mix the colors along a single axis.

    Radial

    Mix the colors radiating from a center point.

    Base Color

    The primary color.

    Secondary Color

    The secondary color.

    Blend

    Base Color and Secondary Color mixing amount.

    Flip Colors

    Flips the gradient, inverting the Base Color and Secondary Color.

    Location

    Shifts the gradient position.

    X, Y

    Rotation

    Rotates the gradient.

    Scale

    Scales the gradient.

    X, Y

  Texture

  Use an image texture.

  • Base Color

    The base color of the fill.

    Image

    The image data-block used as an image source.

    Blend

    Texture and Base Color mixing amount.

    Location

    Shifts the image position.

    X, Y

    Rotation

    Rotates the image.

    Scale

    Scales the image.

    X, Y

    Clip Image

    When enabled, show one image instance only (do not repeat).

Holdout

Removes the color from strokes underneath the current by using it as a mask.

Pass Index

This index can be used with some modifiers to restrict changes to only a certain material. See Modifiers for more information.
